Moose, your not a guy by the name Scott G. are ya? yeah screw those guys! its kinda funny, once the hide got cleaned, they did show up a lil. taxidermist guessed him right at 2, he said they loose there spots at 2. the spots are very faint, just showed up well in the pictures.

6' 2" 235lbs of a lean mean coues finding machine. Well maybe not lean..... 5'10" 150# Lean, Mean no shed finding, Sore legged machine LMAO I don't think CnS will respond to this thread. Do ya think I can't or do ya think I won't respond..... ...... I'm calling BS on your statement above...... .... first off, all the rocks in your head weigh at least 235 lbs..... ..... and second, have you ever found a coues deer?? .... That is what I thought!!! And you can say all you want about my chubby 220 lbs on a 5' 11 1/2" frame...... I can still walk the legs right off of you..... "Desk Jockey" .... For those who read this with their mouth open....it is, ok...... I love that guy like a brother..... a red headed, step child, brother...... that is!!!!! ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got ya, Buddy! This sounds like Jim and I! hahahah!

Scott does do a awesome job! i have seen him paint a pig up and finish a antelope... when i kill my 109 2/8 ( Just bigger than shortypants) scott will do the mount he does good work!

i think your nuts for not flingin some carbon at bull number two at 23 yards!!!!! thats truely what i think!

heres another pic of the mount of my buck.

I really like Scott's Auodad, i always stare at that thing when im there. Hey scott, you posted a "non-complimenting" picture of that lil monkey!

I really like Scott's Auodad, i always stare at that thing when im there.

I cant figure out these people. they really do stuff that are not "good calls". for some reason, it seems like only us hunters think that what they are doing is wrong. it is obvoius that the only reason they raise the amount of tags is like Gino said cha ching, cha ching. i really wish they cared more about our game then their pocket books. it is disgraceful and disgusting. to me, the worst part is they issue surveys like they actually "care" then when we tell them what we think and what we want, they dont give a rats .....

Scott, no hurry. I already know whats there and what it all looks like

so i got a new laptop this saturday, now my old one is for sale. It is a HP ZE4325, made on 2/14/2003. i used it for 3 years and finally upgraded. right now the screen does not turn on, and it needs to be re-formatted as well as a something in the sensory needs to be replaced for the cooling fan to turn on/off. New/upgrades: the cooling fan itself is brand new, the hard drive is under a year old. the computer itself is in good shape, has been used, but not abused. because of the repairs needed, i will sell it for cheap! (the brand new fan cost $203) it is in tucson, asking $250 shipped, or $230 picked up.

yeah that hurts! that last picture is pretty nasty!

thats weird, nice two!

Scott,you better have a bunch of memory on your camera!

it was jason(shortypants) you can tell he was liking it, and still is smiling!

Hey Bret, look at it this way.. on the second shot you hit exactly where you were aiming! thats better than me, id prolly never get that close!

sad thing is: im 21 and she has killed just as many yet BIGGER coues than me!

Glassed him up, spot and stalk style! no dogs, all spot and stalk. shot my cat at about 25 feet. there was another one with it and my buddy who glassed them up killed the other one after i shot at about 340 yards IIRC. all the taxidermy work was about half the cost of new Swaro 15x56's.

these are very bad pictures! they are from my camera phone as my computer isnt work ( at the library) and there are all i have to post until this weekend. I am tickled to death with him! think he came out great!

good thing im on the computer at the library and not mine! who ever uses this next is gonna have my drool all over their hands!

Hey Bret, didnt you shoot a 90+" whitetail IN THE ANTLER?? after missing him once? :D:D:D looks like you drilled that muley though!

A properly calibrated turret is Far more ethical than a "hold over", or a Balistic Recticle...... IMO.... I have never been a fan of the 30-06..... I am a 300 Wby guy.... .... Like it or not the Wby is a ballistically comparable to a 7mm. I can zero @ 200 yds. and still be holding on hair (barely) at 400 yds on an elk, with a 180 gr. factory load...... But to shoot beyond that does require a Quality scope, IMO....and you are not buying one for $400....no way. I also don't have a whole bunch of faith in a gun tha comes right out of the box, being able to shoot sub-MOA groups.... I spent over a $1000.00 on my Wby and the best group I have gotten with it are right at .5 inches @ 100 yds. The 300 Wby I got from AzOneCam is straight out of the box and Jason told me that the best he could get out of it was just over 1 MOA groups @ 100 yds.... That is over 6" at 600 yds..... that is a lot when shooting at coues deer. I have posted in the past that I am looking to put a LR Scope on my Wby.... and have settled on the Huskemaw Optics scope and after I have it set up I will post and review about it, as it is a fairly new product built by hunters for hunters. I also really like the Idea of practicing personal technique from a bench, but there is no substitute for prcticing in hunting conditions, too... Also,because ammo (and reloading ammo) is not cheap and to save the barrle on my rifle, I am in the process of building a .22 cal target pistol.... simlpy for cheap technical practice (I'll let you know how that works out, too).... CnS theroticaly speaking, that gun would shoot a 6" group at 600 yards. is that a bad thing? heck no. what that means is that gun should not be shot at an animal at 600 yards... period. that is the way the gun is set up, now with some tuning and customizing, it can probably be made to shoot smaller. its not the guns fault that it shoots that big, and id be willing to bet, that gun in the right hands would shoot smaller than that at that distance.

Hey Casey,That's o.k...a 100lb pig would look like a little (red) next to you & no...it wasn't as tall as me, that's called trick photography. Ooooh...Casey................he got ya there! atleast i weigh 100 lbs!

jason, i was quoting you. dont let it bother you though lol. bottom line on long range shooting is to get out there and practice. no matter the method you use, weather it be a specialized rig costing thousands of dollars, or the 270 ( said that for you lark!) that you shoot every other day and is a extension of your body. nothing replaces experience and practice. you cant buy a 10,000 rifle and scope, and expect to shoot sub MOA groups out to 1000 yards just cause you paid a ton of money for the rifle and someone else can with the same rifle. its all about what you can do with the rifle. edited to add: some people think because a rifle shoots .000001 at 100, that it will shoot the same at no matter what distance. that is not true. also, some people think because a rifle only shoots 2-3" at 100, that it is no good at all. from what i have read, this is not true some rifle shoot better at longer distances. now, me and my rifles, can produce 1/2 MOA at any distance. we are just good like that. :D:D that is unless a deer is put infront of me! isnt that right Ernesto!

terry, i wondered if that only happened to me! seems to happen to me on bull elk hunts as well. the OPPOSITE seems to happen on cow elk hunts! on all 3 cow tags ive had, i chould have killed 1 360" bull and at least one 340" on each of the other hunts! heck, on the last one i could have killed a spike from camp!

he came from 36c
