i agree, they both look bigger than the given scores. congrats

Happy Birthday Brian you old SOB!

no buck for my dad, didnt see anything that itched his trigger finger. he would have loved to shoot those 3 that we glassed and i spotted. the plan was for me to get into position and for him to get over they and were going to flop bang them both, but that fell through when i could only find one of the bucks.we though we had em! but they gave us the slip.

Scott, always something positive to say! i love it!!!! i passed on a lot of smaller bucks but i had to take this one on the last day! i did see two 90-95" but they were a mile away and moving to the thickest nastiest stuff around. saw them 2 days in a row in the same place but each day they were in a bad spot. put a stalk on them opening morning and found the smaller fork ( there was 3 together, and he was a 70" fork) and let him pass. had him at 308 and then again at 418 but let him walk.

actually, my second was about 60" my 3rd was about 11" and this is my fourth... in a row! Ernesto, arent you proud! only one shot! and he rolled at the shot!

scottyboy can go on for hours and show a lot of pictures and stories, i have seen them and heard them. he has a lot of good ones! hey scott, i glassed up a big blue tarp way up in one of my coues wholes yesterday. lets hike back in there and check out what it is.

Lance, my dad shoots a 7RUM also, pee shooter and man its accuarte too! shoots under an inch as a total factory rifle, just a tuned trigger to about 3lbs. 140 accubonds are deadly!

either way, i was still closer at 100 1/8 than he was at 84!

if im smoking crack Josh, i got closer on the gross score than you did must be some dang good stuff huh? you want some! hahahahaha ( you know im just bustin ur huevos)

man ernesto you have a good memory! yeah she was a blonde and yeah she did cut me off. sorry my typings not 100%, sometimes ya gotta think after i type cause i leave words out. on the final morning of the november hunt in 2003, i harvested my first coues whitetail, he gross scored 85" and was shot in the flats where i would not usually hunt.

my buck grossed 85 and he had no where the lenght that that buck had. my buck has the same about of mass but a wider spread.

i have seen a very decent amount of illegals there as well as many hunters!

Killed my 85" on the last day of november 4 years ago. he was in the flats.

i think every one is low, i bet hes over 100" that is a story to remember! congrats!

i use a 270 wsm, i think its a pretty dang good caliber. the 7mm is also a good one!

This is my cousins buck, he got lucky and smoked him at 420 yards opening morning with is 6.5x55 k, pictures didnt work, i have sent them to Christian to post for me

very nice buck, very tall and massive. whats the story?

this is the story as my cousin told me: the unit is 34a. him and his dad crossed a fence, right when they crossed the fence, they spotted a forky. my uncle asked my cousin if he wants to shoot and he says no. they look around for another deer and find this buck. my cousin runs to the nearest tree and guesses the distance. he made a gorgous shot and the deer ran 10 feet and died. he hit the buck right in the heart with his 6.5x55. no idea on the score, but im thinking right around 95".... either way a heck of a buck. this is his 2nd buck. his first is a beautiful buck with a small 3x3 basket rack.

i can vouch for that one!

good job jim! way to go! that buck is nice and would be very nice if he wasnt short on that right side! his body looks pretty good size, was he a fat buck? i bet he taste good!

no doubt about that... not the perfect mushroom you suspect to see from a Accubond. SOMEONE that i know turned me onto them saying they were gods gift to hunters and now there all i shoot! ps, how was the internal damage and blood shot meat all that goos stuff? what did the wound channel look like?

Jim, thats all that matters to me! we had a great time. my hunter was new to coues and he learned alot from my self, Rick Bin, Enrique and Darren. we had a great time, got to try out some not on the market, protype glass and compare my Zeiss, to swarovskis, minox. it was a great time. one of the most enjoyable hunts i have ever been on and nothing more than a coyote was killed.

well, i am now a official licensed arizona guide! i have my first hunt this weekend in unit 32. i am working for/with an outfitter who knows the area. i am hoping for the best and am excited/confident! wish me luck! i leave tomorrow around 130 pm!

good job doug! those blacktail are handsome deer! how was the performance of that unaccurate 300wsm? what about the bullets at 431?

thanks Christian! im not 100% sure of unit, but they usually hint 34a, but last year they either hunted 35a or b so it could be from either one of those units. i will ask him today. he shot this buck with one shot from his 6.5x55 mauser through the shoulders and top of the heart, buck didnt move a muscle.
