  6. Congratulations for sure. Next time just take an AR, it'll sneak up on any prey and take it down so you can sit in the truck sipping coffee.

    Depends on weight...distance...number of hunters. Don't mind ol mulepackhunter, he's hoping to pay off a $50K truck early. Also it would sure help if the Tonto Forest Cartel could get their broken down equip out of the road.

    So . . .

    I don't think you got what it takes to defang me. Thats exactly what the last Yeti said. And my what abominable halitosis, too.I have Hermie do my light dental work.

    So . . .

    There are many valuable resources available to stream online or play on DVD. One of my favorite stories documents a young, nontypical buck's life as he ruts and struts his way from banishment by the herd due to a physical deformity only to return many adventures later as the lead buck. The camera work on this project through storms in the inhospitable northern latitudes is impeccable. Filmed masterfully in 3D, you'll believe you are there. Surprisingly, there is also some of the only known live footage of a Yeti. These Yeti's are known as Mogollon Man here in AZ, and knowing how to defang one while hunting in the rim units, may very well save your life. So study the film for all your Coues insight, pack your Leatherman and be good for goodness sake.

    The Red Sea!

    Glad you had a good time. Thanks for the awesome Cardinal red cap. I'm looking more like the jolly ol elf each day. If I look a.little bummed, must be due to sitting in Vikings central...

    The Red Sea!

    Vikes kept running a wideout shallow pass play that ate the yardage up and never did see the Cards make adjustments. The Cards seem to be playing conservatively in the passing game, trying to run up the middle got them nowhere.

    Cole at CMC Skulls makes regular trips to the valley. It's also possible to ship the heads FedEx, although I don't know how the rack might affect that.I bought a scabbard off Cole over the summer and he brought it down on a family visit.

    That sounds way high for a Euro mount. I got a lion rug quote last summer and thought the quote was more than reasonable.

    I dump the pot in the chicken yard.Boiling can crack or cause teeth to fall out. Why not get a price from Jim at SW Wildlife Taxidermy in Scottsdale? I believe he sends them out, does not boil them. His prices are very down to Earth.
  23. Always enjoy your pictures. Grand ol Lady you have there. All looked absoloutley heavenly.

    Cool beyond words....
  25. From where the top picture was taken, my buddy Charlie glassed up a buck on top of that tall pyramid shaped hill in the center of the picture. We were about a 1/2 mile into a 24b Wilderness area. 2 hours and two miles later, we got to within 300 yards. Moments later two bucks got up and started browsing up on that hill, it was now noon. The shot was too steep for a prone position and I eventually found a mesquite sapling to get a partial rest on. Heard that age old thunk of a solid hit as a piece of fur went airborne. The 85gr Sierra HP entered the front right shoulder low but was at such a steep angle, exited the left lung. He went over backwards. Took a good 45 minutes to get up that hill only to find him back on his feet and running over the crest of the hill. Got a shot off as he leaped over and out of sight. Tracked his blood trail to a ridge line. He went straight down 200 yards into a canyon and got hung up in a young tree. You know it's steep when you can fall into the top of a tree. Getting down to him I managed to slide under a mesquite and get my gear pretty hung up. Meanwhile Charlie could hear the buck below choking and found him, I put a .380 in him to end it. Turns out my final rifle shot had hit his left leg below the hock. How he got so far got my attention and respect. The Deer had to be dragged a ways for butchering just so we all would not roll the next 1/4 mile down to the Canyon bottom. I want to give my heart felt thanks to my friends and family that helped out. Mulepackhunter Mike for working so hard on my rifle and breathing new life into a treasured aireloome. The old Winchester 88 did you proud and I hope we get you out in the field in a week and a half. Charlie (Eagleeye), it's been great getting to know you, what a wonderful family you have. Thanks so much for those great optics and long, lanky legs that helped pack this deer out. I will be glad to return the favor in the weeks ahead with a little mule friend of mine. A big thanks to the Coueswt.com family for your friendship and offers to help. My hat is off to the dedicated hunters that have made the stalking and taking of these elusive, tough deer, a destination.
