Coues Sniper

He looks much bigger this year. Good luck Scott

Unreal. Simply dope-tastic.

+1 Nice buck, good luck to you!

Oh wow. I really hope that's not him man.

Since people are getting butt-hurt when it is referred to as a Carp Contest, I propose a new name for it - "The Biggest Loser" Come on guys this is a COUES site! What's next, a cheesecake contest?

LMAO

+1!!!

New pics only make him look even bigger. 400+, no doubt.

I agree with Scotty on score. His fronts and trash will push him over the 400" mark. All those extras add up fast. That being said, I'd whack that bull no matter what the tape says. Character like that is hard to come by. Super neat bull, good luck gettin him killed and ending the guessing!

Tyson is holding out

Lion season does not open until Sept 1 for most of the state. That's no excuse sweet pics, good luck on that bear.

Holy Shirts and Pants dude! That thing is a PIGG!!!

Sorry to be the one to bring the thread here, but I am part of a pretty sizeable percentage of Coues hunters that believe the top 2 nontypical Coues deer are actually not Coues deer at all.

That's the top nontypical and was killed in AZ, and don't get me started on that can o' worms Or the number 2 nontyp either. I think it will happen within the next 10 years or so, it will come out of Mexico, and it won't be a farm deer. San Carlos is a great possibility too. Bulwidgeon, I agree the Stockwell buck is a freak in the fact of how big he is and how symetrical he stayed, but if it happened once... And Ernesto, please, enlighten us

+1 I'd look at Krieger barrels as well, but let your smith help you with the pro's and con's of each barrel type, action, etc. Those guys on longrangehunting are legit. And as a side note, a good smith can put together a build that will shoot as good or better as any "Custom Rifle Company" and do it for much less with much more personal attention.

That's flippin sweet

Never seen one on the hoof, but I've held a couple that others have killed. Seen pictures of a couple more. It does happen, but just like in mule deer, pretty rare.

I'm sorry, I was thinking you had the 7mm version . With the kind of power you have, and wanting to shoot long distance, i would REALLY look at the larger 210 Berger and 208 A-max bullets. However, I don't think the twist you have will stabilize them. You'd need a 1 in 11 or maybe even 1 in 10. Give the 185's or 190's (Berger) a shot and see how they do. Performance-wise they are like a magic wand on game from all that I have seen and heard. If all else fails I'd consider switching the barrel out for a faster twist. That way you could get the full potential out of that round. You might try switching powders, maybe Retumbo or H1000 but i really think you need a different twist. 308 brought up a good point about the different 338 calibers as well. There are some great bullets coming out in the near future for long-range stuff, and some pretty fine offerings out already. You're in kind of a spot man, I wish you luck

+1

Can't even begin to imagine what you are going through right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

+1 on the 3600 fps being too fast for the Bergers. Those J4 jackets are only able to stand up to about 3350 or so. If you wanted to try the Bergers you could try the 180's, still may have to tone it down though.

Dang I hate to agree with Casey since he hates me Holy crap, I actually agree with Casy too. Maybe he's drunk. Anyhow, I feel 6x is a little high for a low end on a 40mm scope. I'd never go below a 50 with a 6x low end (or in general for that matter.) My 2 pennies. I am the drunk one?! Atleast I know how to spll Kevn Pschhh All I spelled wrong was your name. I got the important stuff right

Brock - Nice piggie (like the shot placement , talk about earholing him!), sweet looking pup, and SWEET looking buck in your avatar. Welcome to the site man, you can learn alot from the guys and gals around here. Good luck in the draw too Kevin

168 grain 7mm pill at 3600 fps with 1/2 moa? Yeah that sucks . Have you shot it 300, 400, 500, etc? I'd look at your long distance groups (if you haven't already) before I changed anything. 168 grains is pretty big (long) for a 7mm, that bullet make take a while to stabilze.
