Is that line going from face to bottom of brisket a scar, or "muscle"? If its a scar, awesome!

Dude, that is a direct violation of CWT non-official, offical rules. You have to post when you saw "we only have one more tag to fill"

What power is the eye piece

I think a lot of people worry about that more than they need to. My dad shot his buck at 531 with his 7 RUM with a moderate load not all that fast and it hammered that deer with a perfect fifty cent piece exit.

I used to use one on my 257 but have since done away with it. It did seem to help, no matter where it was placed but an inch away from the stock is where best results were had. My action is bedded, and the barrel floated.

Was it a member from here? Good on you, you have good karma coming your way for sure!

I think a load of BB needs to find its way into him.

Beautiful buck dude! I would hope I had people around me to tackle me after killing a buck like that!

dont know. He didnt say anything about it, but I know they havent had any luck with the Spotted Hyena. Only browns.

In less than a week Scotty will be partaking in a "old school" adventure.... Returning to the days of Roosevelt, Capstick and Ruark. He will be chasing some big ole angry dugga boys with a doule rifle chambered in the classic 470 nitro express. Good luck Scott. Shoot straight and remember two triggers!

That is a shooter for sure...Imagine if he makes it through a season or two more and can put on some mass?! TOAD!

If you were at 1/2 mile why didnt you shoot? Thats well within your range isnt it?

Just got off the satelite phone with Scott... He killed a big, old, worn down bull a few days ago as well as a big Klipsringer and a Grysbok. Rich also killed a 57" Kudu. They are waiting for the Spotted Hyena other than that they are done!

Yes. That is an opening day shooter. Awesome buck! Congrats

Leica makes the best range finder for sure.

Tony, you do know sinaloa is responsible for probably 75% of the dope that passes through a right?

listo para tomas cabezales eh Your Spanish is as bad as your English. Stick to Ebonics! But yes, I am ready to take heads! (or hearts/lungs/shoulders)

DUDE!!! SMILE!!!!!!!!!!! Youre supposed to be happy! Congrats.

I've gotta admit, I am pretty impressed with the detail in the close up of the bulls face.

Arent there people on this very site who claim how safe Mexico is and how safe they feel going down there?

I hunted coyotes quite a bit down on the BA this past year. I did alot of research to the coyote season down there and I think it USED to be a three month only season,but I think that has sense changed and it is open, although I do believe fox or bobcats can not be taken for some reason. That strikes me as odd as I could think cats and fox would kill more of the precious, mysterious quail than a coyote would, but thats just my opinion.

A. I love big two points like that! B. WOW she is talented!!

Every year I question myself why I put in for December hunts, when I am already going crazy here in October (started a month or so ago). I have been out doing some leisurely scouting 3 times. The first time was just driving roads in a new area, the other two was while glassing/ calling. Have seen only 15 deer in about 3 hours of good glassing, 9 being bucks and 5 being 80 +/-. Tested the turrets out to 600 yesterday. Am good to go! I cant wait!

Jake and I went out today calling/scouting. Somehow, I have a ability to see a fox area, call it and kill it. We were drivin down the road and I saw one of these areas so we went to callin. About 3 minutes in, right after I had switched sounds I hear Jake click off the safety of his .243 and I see a fox runnin across the rocks comin quick. Jake holds off as we know he is coming hard. About 30 seconds later the fox steps out at about 10-15 yards. BB shot from the 12 guage and he goes down, but I had a feeling I hit him a little far back but he flops backwards and we think he is dead. After a few giggles we get back to callin. I look to the right just in time to see one take off to the right. When its time to go get the fox, it is still alive looking at me. I am only about 7 yards away comtemplating what to do. I dont want to shoot it with the shotgun as it will obliterate the fox, I think about using my .40 but before I can do that the fox gets up and hauls arse. I did not see that coming so my reaction time was a little slow, but I managed to get one shot off before he bailed off the cliff. I did not think I hit him and expected to see him hobblin off, but he was was layin at the bottom of the cliff. I looked up, and at about 70-80 yards was another fox. I put the bead high and shot. The fox jumped up and ran off. Jake fired a shot at him but missed. We went over to try and find it to no avail Saw 10 deer, 4 bucks. Thats a total of 15 deer so far, 9 bucks... Ill take that ratio!

Congrats!! Reminds me of my first cow hunt. I didn't have to call 'mommy' though she was there with me!
