Coues Sniper

With all the great advice about the electronic callers, I'm hyped about getting one and start hunting! But i also wanted to get a couple good predator videos as well. Have any favorites? I'm more looking for something that has information on tactics, set-up, etc, rather than just an hour of kill shots. (alright, maybe a few kill shots ) Even a favorite brand to try would help. I'm looking at concentrating on coyotes (of course) but would like to get a few bobcats as well so something that has one or the other or both would be great. Thanks guys. Hope all your hunts go well, Kevin

Congrats on a phenomenal buck. That one is gorgeous. Love character like that.

Especially if you happen to be a Coues deer...

The Randy Anderson videos keep coming up from everyone i ask... I'll have to look into those!

Clint, I watched the promo on their site, and it looks awesome. I'll email Scott (i am assuming from the email address) here in a sec. Congrats on being a part of a video like that. Pretty cool. Thanks for the help man, Kevin

That's just cheating! The downfall of every man...

I plan on doing some of that as well. But a little help never hurt. Absolutely. I've heard some good things about those on other sites.

Great buck! Welcome to the site

Pedro, That is a great decision. You will be glad you waited and saved with either the Swarovski or the Leicas - both are very good.

Wish i had the funds - or the need. That is a smoking deal. There's been some crazy deals on some really good rifles on here lately.

Yeah i saw those pics a while back. I never did hear a score, although i was told Colorado as well. Definitely a ranch/high fence bull - for whatever reason they always seem to have pale antlers and rarely rub all their velvet off. Thanks for the pics though

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, that looks friggin cool man! Awesome work!!!

I agree with CnS, but high fence or not, I'd like to see it. PM sent.

Been wanting to get an electronic caller for a while but haven't pulled the trigger yet because I'm just not sure which one to get. I'd like to get a nice one. Which in your opinion is the best one and why? What features are most important to you? Thanks in advance for the imput guys.

I prefer the e-trex. Very solid unit.

That helps a lot. Thank you AzTrapper!

I'm breaking down and buying a good caller and getting more into predator hunting. We can hunt coyotes, foxes, and cats year round up here in NV so i plan on doing that till it gets too hot. By then it will be time to start shooting the bow more for archery deer season. Which will bring me back to the fall and my favorite time of the year: Coues season. Can't wait already. I'm also pretty excited as we are getting a Sportsman's Warehouse up here (the first in town) literally 2 minutes from my house. We don't have much for hunting stores up here besides an understocked Bass Pro Shops . I'm actually thinking of getting a job there on the weekends just for the discount.

That's pretty good. I have been looking at getting an electronic caller, and I noticed one of the sounds you can choose from Foxpro is called "Corn Feeder" Wonder if that guy is aware of that

Uh oh, looks like the Goof Troop is ganging up on me... First off, longshooter, I did say i liked your Leicas but that was more so as not to hurt your feelings about them. I know how fragile you are. I actually did like the built in rangefinder as opposed to having an extra piece of equipment - but that would be the only reason to buy them And I'll put my Guardian against your soon to be 48 lb Hoyt whenever you're ready. Loose that training wheel whisker biscuit before you come up though And also, my hair is just plain awesome. Casey, I'm sorry you just can't see the light (literally) with the Swaro's. But the fact you're on the same side as Shortshooter on this one really speaks for itself! They outsell the Leicas for a reason!!! PS congrats on the test

GREAT buck, congrats guys!

LMAO Casey! You called Longshooter smart! Hahahahaha if you only knew!!! And shame on you for using your mediocre spanish to tell this guy that the overpriced Leicas are better! Leicas are very good glass, but they are not as good as the Swarovski's. And they certainly do not have near as good of a warranty or customer service. I really don't think you can argue that one. I have scratched my Swaro 15's twice (my fault both times - the tripod fell over) and didn't have to pay a dime to have the lenses replaced either time. They even next day aired them to me for nothing, and offerered to send a loaner pair to me when a part wasn't in stock. Definitely something to consider as well. Pedro welcome to the site. We are having some fun here, but the bottom line is, you really can't go wrong with either the Leicas or the Swarovski's. Zeiss should probably be mentioned in the same breath as well. If you get a chance, i strongly suggest checking them out side by side and seeing for yourself. There are even some companies that will rent binoculars to you so you can take them out into the field and compare. If you can't, i would say go with the Swarovski's. I gaurantee you will not be dissappointed. Good luck in your purchase, and again - welcome to the site. You can learn alot from these knuckleheads. (most of them)

That sounds like a heck of an operation! Glad to hear it is working for you, and i hope you're back hunting hard again soon. I'd like to go calling with you, but i live all the way up here in Vegas... but i actually still might take you up on that! Thanks for the information about the Bobcat in heat sound. I think lions court this time of year too, but they might be almost done. And like Josh asked, do you play that sound continuously, or on and off? For how long? Bobcat is one of the main things i'd like to call... does a decoy help a lot with them? Thanks.

That's a really cool find! Thanks for sharing dude. What i wouldn't give to be able to go back and hunt Sonora back in those days.

Got back last week from Mexico, and was able to help my cousin (not the one who killed that monster Carp) kill his first Coues deer. We chased a big heavy 4 point i guessed would go about 110" for a couple days, but he wasn't able to close the deal. Last afternoon he put the smack-down on this great buck. He has some of the best brows I've seen on a Coues; both are well over 6" and they almost touch. He's basically a big 2 point with a small 3rd on his left and a kicker off his base on his right. I was pretty surprised when we put the tape on him and came up with 99 1/8"! He goes 96" as a 2 point! His mass and beams are what get him there (both beams are over 17") and of course those awesome brows. Not bad for his first Coues! Another buddy of mine killed a gorgeous 3 point that went 110 7/8", I'll see if he minds me putting his ugly mug on here and post those if he gives the OK. Hope all your hunts go well, Kevin

Holy crap!!!! That buck is just a friggin stud! Man, would i like to whack that buck. Have you been hunting him?
