    I would not be so quick to believe only AZ taxidermist can mount coues deer and do a great job.  If he has a great taxidermist then he needs to know the best method to ship cape to him.  That is not to say he should Not get it mounted in AZ. PLENTY of shoddy work in AZ as well.  There are some great taxidermist here too.  By the way any taxidermist can buy great coues deer forms.  Trufitt supply house has some of the best coues forms.

    If it was me I would have a reputable AZ taxidermist do the work as they are familiar with coues deer characteristics.

    All taxidermist that sponsor this forum are trustworthy.  

    Plenty of good AZ taxidermist but shipping mount home will get $$$$$ i would freeze it wrap in cheap Home Depot pink insulation put it box with a pound of dry ice and three day ship it to your taxidermist.

    I’m heading out of town here shortly for elk camp and wanted to check for reports of if they’ve started up the bugling chaos yet or not. With this heat I’m assuming the second week should be much better and they should be more fired up. 

     

    I’ve heard of some bugling here and there in 10 and 3c, but definitely not fired up yet. What have you all heard so far?

    I was 4b and elk were screaming. Especially near where I was on wildcat rd near 153.  Just wish I had a tag!!!!

    no joy on cows this weekend.  called in many bulls but couldn't find a single cow.  heading back next week.  

    I was up there and busted a big herd with a couple of bulls and 20 plus cows off of 153 and 153c.   Bulls were screaming!!!!!

    just go to the nasty canyons...the big bulls are looking to get away from the cows and just recover...get a decent set of glass and MUST GET TRIPOD...sit your butt on a lookout and glass glass glass.....on the late hunt if your spot a bull he will not move much and you can develop a plan to move in on him....fossel creek, wet beaver....they will both have big bulls in them....you just need to find them and have a good pack to debone and haul out the meat, cape and rack....You might want to precoordinate with someone that has mules to help haul it out...

    I shoot 80# and that should be the min. Being a small guy like myself that’s all I can pull. Of course knowing my distance and shot placement is key! Anything less is just uncivilized.

    That’s good to know I was concerned about dropping down to 80!!

    Was 40 pounds but it might even be less , I think they lowered it.   all about shot placement..

    Sorry I should have been clearer. Not legal poundage of ethical poundage.  As in would you not shoot an expandable under XX pounds for elk... etc

    I'm thinking about finally getting a .243. My first two choices are a Win 70 featherweight or Ruger Hawkeye. But I'm open to suggestions. I want something with a wood stock, good trigger, kind of traditional. I'm not opposed to something like a Tikka Hunter. What are your thoughts on the best .243 that performs well but has that trad feel?

    Well if you want a super accurate rifle and would not mind a synthetic stock, ruger American predator rifle.... I just picked up my 4th.  I have 2 in 6.5 creed  1 in 223 and one in 6 Creedmoor which is a supped up 243 all shoot 1/2 or better

    What’s your favorite pair of boots and why?

     

    These are my redwing iron rangers.  I love the versatility.  I've worn them cutting firewood, packing elk, business meetings, church, and sales presentations.  They are looking a little rough these days, but regular saddle soap and oil keeps them going.  

    Handmade in the USA.

    A few cons, they have a cork dress sole, so they aren't that comfortable for the long haul.  I had to put cushion insoles in them for comfort.  The dress outsole is great for working in customers homes, they don't track mud or rocks.  But when i get them re-soled, i will go with a softer gum sole for more traction and comfort.

    Nothing relieves stress like a stout cup of coffee and a can of boot oil, and a good boot cleaning session.

    Thoughts?   States around us are establishing a shed season.   Efffect on AZ is people from those states now hit AZ.  DEER AND ELK are pressured from August - April through hunting and shed hunting.  Just when bulls and bucks need to recover from rut and winter people are then in looking for browns.  It would be nice to give them a break a maybe have a shed season open in may or jun.

    If that is an experience that makes you react like this, you don't get out or hunt much....

    Not sure what I said indicates I don’t get out or hunt much.... fact is I hunt a lot.... I’d love to hunt seeps or off the road and that works for late elk hunts but right now bulls are running with a bunch of cows and bulls will walk right past a seep to hit a tank so they can get right in the water and cool off and wallow.... and every tank has a road right to it.  So when I am watching 50 hit a tank then when would we not sit it???? I would not in a million years drive a quad right into a tank opening day of elk archery season especially with the likelyhood there is a good chance someone waited 6-10 years to draw that tag!!!!!!!

    Just thought I’d get on and complain some more so AZDIAMONDinHeat could tell me how dumb I am......This time I’D like to thank the stupid guy that decided that he needed to check hid game camera opening day of elk season AT PRIME TIME.  Not my tag but the guy I was helping was sitting the hole,   Truck parked 1/2 mile on road up from tank so this idiot drives his quad right past the truck up to the tank walks down to check camera.  Buddy gets out of blind and asks what he is doing.   Says he is checking his camera!!! Really??? prime time just prior to sunset and he needs to check his camera NOW!!!! Just another reason I hate trail cameras.  Jerk could have checked camera at noon or atleast had the common courtesy not to drive in to a tank that had a truck park near it at prime time.......unbelievable.    Did I mention I hate trail cams.....

    Thank you for admitting you are dumb as a box of rocks.  Admitting you have a problem is the first step. 

    Atta  kid.

    Now learn how to read and comprehend and you will be half way to being a useful idiot. 

    P.s.   please learn the meaning of the word "literally". Actually, please learn ANYTHING.

    And because you ride the short bus, I will explain this in small words so you won't need help.  As others have pointed out, you are STUPID because you are throwing a second grade hissy fit over statements CLEARLY made in jest.  You have PROVEN me correct. 

    There, no big words to make you cry from lack of a vocabulary   But you are  still stuck in your ignorance. Nothing we can do about that

    We can explain it to you, but we cannot understand it for you.
