Coues Sniper

Wouldn't your uncle know of one???

Thanks AzTrapper, and good luck on your hunt with that back! Yeah, they seem to have some of the best prices too. I think their price for a camo version is cheaper than the regular version on the foxpro website. The fact that they would recommend which calls to program in would help me out alot as well. And that's good info on the FX5 vs. FX3, I was trying to decide whether or not the extra $200 is worth it.

I agree, let's see the shed!

Alright, i decided to post the other buck. He'll get over it. This guy made one of the best shots i've ever seen. This buck had bedded just after they spotted him at about 2:30 in the afternoon. He sat on him for over 2 hours waiting for him to get up but he never did, and the sun was going down so he decided he had to shoot him now out of his bed. The problem was he was at 518 yards and all he could see of the buck was the buck's jaw and ear thru about a 6" diameter hole thru a cedar. We had taken a steel target down there to make sure of our zero's and he had dusted the bullseye at 500 yards so that gave him a lot of confidence, plus he figured if he missed or hit a limb the buck would get up and he'd hopefully get another shot. He got proned out and squeezed the shot off and absolutely earholed him thru that opening dumping him on the spot! Unreal shot. Then as he was walking up to his deer, 2 coyotes showed up trying to get a free meal, and he dumped them at 350!!! Gotta love Mexico . We taped him at 110 7/8", but he looks a lot bigger than that in person.

Great buck! Looks like you guys had a very successful trip! Congrats.

Very cool finds. Especially the ruins, awesome! Sounds like you have a good area for when they start dropping horns too .

That Velbon Chaser efl-4 is a nice tripod. Anything with Bogan or Manfrotto is nice, but can be heavy (which is good in it's own way). That new Swarovski is unbelievable, but pricey ($700). You can usually find some good deals on Ebay for Bogans. Good luck.

Neat pictures man, thank for sharing. I'd love to whack one of those one day.

cgmartin, I posted that question at the varminthunters website. I have gotten some good information, just not as many responses, and everyone here always seems more willing to help . I'm sure the fact that some new guy comes on there twice a week asking similar questions is part of it too, but i did some searches and couldn't find much. Does anyone know anything about Wildlife Technologies callers? Those guys sure like them. (So does Wildlife Technologies apparently at $850 a pop ) I've just never predator hunted much and figured an e caller would be an easy way to get into it, especially as i will be by myself some of the time. And i tried one my old man bought a few years ago and was very disappointed, so I'd like to get a good one.

You're probably right, but I'm betting that even though they may hate them or think they are for rookies, they still know a boatload about them . More than me anyways.

Thanks guys, keep the responses coming! That's why i love this place so much: I have 10 responses already on this thread here and i posted the same question on a varmint site and have gotten only 2 responses so far. Everyone here is willing to help with none of the attitude of other boards. You guys are awesome. cgmartin, that's a good point about the call starting to pay for itself. I hunt in central Nevada, and some bobcat pelts here can bring $500.

Congrats on a whopper of a 2 point. I've been wanting to kill a big 2 point like that for a long time now. We thought we had one this year that would go 100", but he turned out to be a 3 that had busted his beam on both sides right at his G3's . Congrats again on a awesome buck.

Congrats on a great archery buck. He's got a lot of character - be proud of that one. I would be! Or stick one is his temple! Only kidding Casey!!!

That's pretty freaking cool

dang right

Wow. Now that's a dandy. Love that character. Congrats to your dad, and i look forward to the story.

That's awesome! Congrats to you and your daughter!

Congrats on a great buck Gino, he's sexy looking for sure. What's even more impressive is that you were actually able to put an arrow in him with a Matthews! . (Still waiting on that video of the 100 yard group by the way. ) Kevin

If that's the case then I think Tony was right; they were probably Brocket deer. They can vary in size and color quite a bit depending on the subspecies, but the horns are small.

If they were "nice" deer that resembled Coues deer they aren't likely to be Brockets. Brockets have unbranched horns and a big one has horns about twice the length of your thumb. Although for Longshooter that would be a heck of a Coues . Not sure if there are Coues down that far or not.

That is a smoking deal man Man i wish i was looking for/needed a new rifle. A friend of mine is looking for a new gun, I'll send him the link.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh boy

I REALLY wish i had some cash lying around to spend on that rig... You said 2300 for the whole deal, what's in the info on the scope? Bipod too? Is it a Harris?

Whoa!!!! Monster of a buck right there!!! I love them high and tight like that. Congrats on a buck of a lifetime.

Those are some great bucks! (think they could get any farther behind those carp though )
