IMO the #2 Boone and Crockett Coues Non-typical is NOT a Coues... I've heard people saying this for years on this site, but I've never seen a real discussion about it... I'd have to say that some of the resident posters are the highest authorities in the world on Coues... So, what do you think? On CW it is listed as #1: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/BC_Coues_top...bc_top_5_nt.htm On the B&C website, the #1 is even bigger; but it is a real freak! http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgRecords/Wo...;type=WHITETAIL

way to get it done!

where's the road in those pictures?

I look so dower as a Zombie.... Here is a photo of me in happier times (this Sunday in NM on a friend's rifle elk hunt) I must have picked up another bug (Staphylococcus zombiera is my guess) cleaning the elk out.. I gotta remember gloves next time!!

I learned my lesson last year after cutting the head off a dead bull elk I found... 48 hours later I was in the Emergency room on 3 rounds of IV antibiotics...

happy happy Birthday!

I think its something like Frisbee Golf -- you throw the marble, go find it, toss it, till you get to the next hole...

Eyeballin' it Game Really cool exercise for anyone who has ever tried to eyeball something (like cutting a straight piece of wood) or in the case of the circle putting your pin exactly in the center of the peep.

ba-donka-donk!!!

I'm numb.

Agreed, they could get rid of the Auction tag; but will G&F balk at the lost currency? At first thought, you would think they would make less money because there isn't a big bidder on the Gov's tag. Here's how it might work: If you allow for unlimited lottery ticket purchases the wealthy guys might put their money down regardless of a guaranteed winning bid. If 10 wealthy Gov' tag bidders each put down 1/2 what they would have been willing to pay at Auction you would make up for the lack of the Gov' tag. The auction raised some $130k last year at $25 a lot; the Gov' tag went for $120k; For 65k a guy could have had a 1/3 shot (65k/195k) at getting the lottery tag. Some statisticians figured out that if there are alot of bidders at auction the bids track in a linear (straight) line. So for the lottery, it comes down to how many and how fast the lots decrease. At a 50% depreciation rate (next bidder puts up 1/2 as many as the first) you'd only need 10 'Whales' to push their lot buying out to 60k to make 120k. Sure, it would make it ALOT harder to win the Lottery tag; but at least more money would be going toward game management. Now whose going to complain about having to compete with wealthy guys buying 1/2 of the lots, and getting 1/2 the tags every year?

120 6/8"

The first two poll questions are multiple entry. We had a heck of a time on my elk hunt, and it seemed that way for just about everyone else I talked with... I've been thinking though, if the rut was delayed, the early muzzleloaders should be cleaning up about now... Just wondering what the peanut gallery thinks. Tyson

I'm going to go ahead and NOT feel sorry for him. That's an awesome bull.

Awesome Doug, This thread had snuck past me until just now! I'm so glad I found it, big congratulations. Tyson

great to see CW'ers get him. What a stud bull!
