Thats pretty neat! I once had Cotamundi, Javelina, and about 6 or 7 coues with 2 nice bucks in one FOV in my Leicas once... Remeber Brian?

I was a big fan of mine, but since I got my AR it just sat in the safe. I was also semi afraid of marking up the stock when ever I took it out as it had a well above average piece of wood on it. It did shoot very very well. My best shot was a 438 yard jack rabbit on film. If the job is around $1,000 I would accept that as payment.

AzOne, That my friend is why I choose the Accubond or VLD for deer. I have seen a few deer die from a TSX and actually to my surprise there was some expansion. (both deer were hit in the neck/spine so bone was involved). The combination of penetration, weight retention and how "hard" or "soft" a bullet and matching it to the game being hunted is something I have been researching and testing for quite a while! Would I use a Ballastic Tip on a elk? NO! MAYBE on a deer, but in my mind there are better options. Now, I use BT for coyotes etc because they do a great job, and IME that is where they are matched perfectly. I have killed and seen deer killed with BT's and NOT been impressed with how they performed. I have also seen about 6 deer killed with Accubonds and have been nothing but impressed! Shots from 35 yards (recovered that bullet, after hitting from shoulder and being found in the hip it still held %69 of original weight, with a MV of 3250) all the way to 531 yards, going clean through both high shoulders and knocking the buck DRT. In my opnion and experience, I think they Accubond and or the VLD are both matcher perfectly to our Coues. I was not a fan of the VLD, infact Tim, and Gino and I used to get into arguments about them... Then I tried them. I hit my buck about 3" away from being PERFECT at 571 yards. This buck took about 25 minutes to die... I have no idea how.. His insides were MUSH and he had only about 1/2 of his lungs! He didnt go anywhere (13 yards) and he didnt bleed... AT ALL! But, the VLD performed like it shoot creating havic on the insides, and not exiting. Would a Accubond have killed this deer? Yep! Would a BT? Yep! Would either one have done a better job? Doubt it.

Dead dog is a dead dog, right? BTW, right now is probably the hardest time of the year there is to call and kill them.

Wow thats a lot of yellows!!! When our chocolate had pups, she had 12 and not a single yellow!! Congrats!

I have a 270 wsm that might be up on the block... would not be cheap as it is a custom with a zeiss scope and a mcmillian stock, but possibly...

I bought a house this past year... I LOVED this past tax season!!!

100% safe.

Seriosuly?! A commissioners Javelina tag!? That makes me laugh, but congrats!

I had a client who had a Minox spotter... I cant remember if it was the ED model or not but it was pretty nice... It wasnt an "alpha" but it was pretty good!

He was born September 26th, and he is a good dog. Great with the kids, loves everyone he sees... Not gonnna be a great watch dog as he is pretty much a sissy but a good boy none the less. He should be a solid 90 pounds!

True... Plus, 9.5 fingers is against policy...

Gino, sounds to me like you stepped on Clays toes by sayin you (and I) are not fans... Clay, if I REALLY want someone to know about Coueswhitetail.com I will just tell them " HEY!!! GO CHECK OUT COUESWHITETAIL.COM!!!"

TJ, If she ever needs some lovin, Charlie is papered and ready go to!

A little more info on why would be helpful. Don't like the font? Don't like the buck? don't like tshirts?? Or even more useful might be what you would like to see on a new shirt? Amanda I just dont like them. I am with TJ, I like the current shirts and wouldnt mind seeing a collard shirt.

Funnest part of the job!

Truth? I wouldnt spend my money on any of them.

And thats the truth. I sent him my tripod that had a leg break... Three days later it was like new again.... About 6 years later, I still have it and it works like a charm!

I delivered a pedestal to those guys when I was working my old job.. Gavin showed me around and showed me their connex full on monster horns! Two weeks later, after our 10 minute conversation Gavin knew exactly who I was and remembered our conversation. Good people.

Ive spent a few hours at Jims house looking over optics, talking hunting, and about dogs. He is as good as they come.

For me the only time I have EVER called in fox is when I have been targeting them... I have never called them in in the desert with cactus, mesquite etc.

That is one of the biggest campers I have ever seen!!!

Poor kid, he looks just like you! Youre a goofy dude, but the kid is pretty cute! I get a kick out of the dogs! Momma is gonna have a hard time disciplining him with those watch dogs! Congrats!

85 coues in one day?! Holy crap! Never heard of that before! Great pic of the coati! Hope you are getting it tanned or something!

+1,000,000 on that!
