Coues Sniper

Isn't putting a scope on a 30-30 kinda like out driving your headlights?

Jealous of you once more Scotty. I got to get out to Africa one day. Congrats on an amazing trip.

Sweet! Good luck to her

I probably should have posted this a long time ago, as I have been enjoying this mount for a few months now, but better late than never. Anyhow here are a few pictures of my mount from my December '06 buck. He turned out perfect. Chris Harlow did the work, and I couldn't be more pleased. I told him I wanted something a little unique, and I got it. The form is a custom form used first on this deer (but on a couple others since ) that Harlow made himself. It's sort of a half alert, "I got you, but I'm still calm" kind of pose. The attention to detail is just amazing (Notice the wasp's nest?) And since I love skulls so much, and I couldn't give up being able to fondle this buck every once and again (Grong, you might appreciate where I'm coming from), the mount is actually a reproduction, not the actual antlers. But you'd never know to look at it. Big thanks once again to Harlow, I still have to stop and stare just about every day . If anyone is considering using him, I highly recommend doing so. Amazing work.

Boy do you and I have different dreams :lol:

Great buck, congrats!

Agreed! Don't get me wrong, if I see that buck with any weapon in my hands, I'm going after him. I love big 2 points. Check this guy out...

257 is a great Coues caliber. But for elk, not so much. ESPECIALLY when you throw in long range.

Both ears appear to be pulled back IMO. It appears his outside spread may reach 30", but i don't think his inside will. That's a tricky picture and a deceiving angle though.

hahaha LMAO TAM you're the man, you beat me to it! Ha ha, that's good $#it!

Longshooter, give me a call. The regular 215's are hard to find right now, but i know a place in Vegas that probably has them. I was in Kanab last week and there was a place that had them, i might be able to go thru there this weekend. The Gold Medal Match are pretty easy to get right now however.

The archery hunters are having a field day this year. Every time i come on here there's another stud velvet buck dead Congrats on a great deer.

Congrats and thanks for sharing! The mass on that ram really makes him impressive.

and mass...

I was in Utah a few years ago and saw 2 sets of triplets and a set of twins all on the same ridge! This was in July so they still had spots which was cool. Only seen triplets in Coues once.

Another great archery buck. Congrats!

What the crap is going on this year?? STUD of a buck, congrats.

My dear God, what an awesome buck. I'm speechless. Congratulations just doesn't seem like a big enough word. Unreal.

Got my shirts yesterday, and they look awesome. Thanks for your hard work on these Amanda

Hey man, any deer with a bow is a trophy in my book. Plus those guys are going to taste awesome! Congrats.

Nice bucks. I have a southern general tag and flung an arrow at a 160ish buck on Sunday, but the arrow hit a branch Oh well, a few weekends still to go.

Agreed. Posting those pictures was dirty, Doug.

I'd stay away from the .270 for elk. Not saying it won't do the job, just a little light for me. For what you are looking for I'd say a 300 Win fits the bill nicely for an all around, flat shooting, accurate, time tested round with plenty of bullet choices available. A 300 RUM would be a good choice as well, and is what i use for both elk and deer. Good luck.

Here we go again... Congrats Jimmy, Can't wait to see pics!

I think you're wrong there Case. If it was all about respect for the animal, then why put the hunter's name in the book? Seems to me books are all about ego, fame, etc. And as far as the radios go - I don't know Randy personally, although i have ran into him in the hills, but some people i know know him and say he is nothing but the real deal. A genuinely nice guy, who is an extremely gifted hunter. Just because his methods don't match yours doesn't make him a bad guy. A good percentage of people on this site use radios, why not call them out? Comes off as jealousy to me.
