Heard it was pretty ot over in 36b. hope it stays that way, ill be there next weekend! As for 34a, redrabbit and i didnt see ANY sign of rutting activity... I do think I have a picture of a fawn tryin to hump its mother though... not quite sure!

ditto

very nice. Hate to sound like a jack A$$, but you got lucky on that shot... 500 yards with a 22-250 going away? Man thats a touchy shot to take/post about. glad it worked out for you guys though!

Read again smarty pants, it says HIM AND i found...

GSP is an AMAZING athlete! He is one heck of a fighter. I didnt get to see the fight because i was out deer hunting with doug

Awesome! john forgot to mention this is one of the bucks that him and i found the Thursday before the hunt. nice to see what he looks like up close.

Jeff, what is your problem man! where are more pix!

UPDATE: Yesterday morning, 10 minutes into the hunt my set of Leicas find a GOOD buck... im talkin 1.5 miles i can see good main beams, width and mass... off we go! to no avail! Today: small buck 15 minutes into the hunt and thats about it. its tough out there! Between yesterday and today, we did about 16 miles. Its tough out there and its not from lack of trying!

Yep! BBD 15 minutes into the hunt! Saturday morning, my dad (Mick) my moms boss (Fred) and my self ( Coues killer ) woke up to go find Fred a buck. Well, it was extremly cozy in the trailer and 16 degress outside, so we over slept. We got to out our glassing point which is where I glassed up AzpackNhorns buck at about 8:30. I picked up my Leicas for a quick scan and found some deer! I threw them on my tripod and all I could see was horns! So Fred and myself threw on our packs and away we went! The buck was working his way down a finger, munching on barrel cactus on the way. We got to where I wanted to get and spotted the buck! At the same time that I saw him, he saw me and started off up the ridge. He wasn't spooked, but wasnt hanging around to see what we wanted. I ranged him at 335 trotting. Fred shot and missed low! Up the hill the buck went and fred shot again, JUST infront of him. The buck made it up to the base of the rimrock and I stopped him with a grunt in the best shooting lane possible! I told Fred to shoot him like he was 400 yards and down went the buck! The time was 8:42!!! Twelve minutes into Freds hunt we have a big buck down! Fred was shooting a 7Mag with 160 TSX and DUMPED this buck! Here are a few pictures! BTW, this makes us 3/3!

That sure is a wise old man! big dog! nicely done!

VEry nice mature mearns! Nicely done. how about some more pictures?

I am in a stand. Its load up there and i figure this is the only way to do it. I have tried ground blinds but i like it better up high. Would you take the one in the pic as your first one? He just seems kind of young, 2 1/2 or so. I am out of meat and the year is almost over, but i no how that story goes, during the last week he wont be there???? That could be a 1 1/2 year old deer with great genetics..... you are in 23..... Heck yes, you should shoot him!!! How do you know you won't blow it when a Monster comes in if you haven't killed one yet??? It truly surprises me how many people "pass up" animals larger than what they have already ground checked. I have 5 Coues with a bow..... my first was a forky and my last was a 108 1/8" Gross non-typical. Each buck that I have taken was larger than the last, but now I find myself wondering if I can pass up a buck that is over 100".... .... That would be tough for me. You ought to be happy to have an opportunity at any Coues with your bow and earn your badges one buck at a time. IMO. Welcome aboard! CnS SHOW OFF!!!! Gino, if you pass on a 100" buck with your bow, I will drive up to your po dunk hood, and whope yer arse myself!!!! comprende!

Must be that AsWho education.... as per the listing before the pictures... thats my moms boss!

Never mind. They must track towards skull plates. Guess I will just hold over Hey, But Thanks for your input Casey. Mike You know this is going to go on for years don't you Buddy What about the two shots i put into him 3" apart at 360 yards? It was set on 0 when i shot him in the head damnit!

Yep. got turrets on my 270wsm. The scope is a Zeiss 4.5-14x50. Love em! The only part where they could be a pain is if you have a quick (possibly running) shot at an animal way out there.. but at the same time, thats not a shot that should be taken unless the game is already wounded.

Casey Everything looks good with a blond in tiger stripes!!!! I thinks he is going to go with the natual look but he is not sure if he wants it a semi gloss or glossy finish. I was going to tell him he need to find some peices of the same wood and try a bunch of finishes to find the best one. True that! Go with a gloss finish, then work it back down to no gloss with 0000 steel wool. that way it is less likely to scare off coyotes coming into the call!

Funny, they lead to several bucks, not just one

It is pretty darn impressive that this sight ( which concentrates on ONE species) that this sight is top 20!! That is the most impressive part to me!

Word up!

Dude Chrissy, you got some moves buddy! you gotta teach me some of them! Dallas, at least that wasnt a frown Here ya go Dallas et al. Heres a smile!

Dallas, if he does the right finish on that gun, it surely will shine nice! i would put something that complments the blonde with the tiger stripes! something light in color.

Jeff, in my opnion, if you can get ANY coues buck in range WITH a bow in hand AS WELL as a TAG.... SMOKE HIM!!!! Welcome to the forum.

I do believe the Leicas attributed to the biggest buck killed in October, am I correct

I shoot 140's out of my 270 and my 270 wsm, love em outta both.

Some guy who broke his ankle walking around his house! He only showed me little bucks, I had to find the big ones Eric, I almost think the last buck we killed was possibly the buck with Gabes deer? Or did that one have giant eye guards?
