Wow is all I can say.

Either you have the best spot in the state or I have a lot to learn about calling in coyotes. And I think it is the ladder of the two. Excellent calling.

I think it would make a neat mount. Cool buck. I have heard it happening with muleys too. Chef here on the site shot what him and all of Duwane Adams guides thought was a monster buck only to walk up on it and it being a little buck with a good rack.

I have the same rifle and shoot 2" groups at 500 yds shooting the 140 grain Berger VLD bullets. I love the rifle. I never shot it without a muzzle break so I can't say anything about recoil. In fact that is the rifle in my avatar picture.

Great buck. Congrats to your son. Hunts like that are character builders. You should be proud of him.

There was recently a thread on the same topic. I think for the money the same Harris 27" swivel bipod that you were using is about as good as you can get. I just put one on one of my rifles and really like it.

Cool buck. Congrats

I was there a few years ago and we went out for a day fish. We took turns on the pole and ended up landing 3 fish. There were six of us total. If I was to do it again I would want a max of 4 guys and fish for whatever is biting instead of going for bigger fish. It can be pretty slow waiting for bites.

Great buck. Yes, you do not pass that buck up. Congrats to your son.

This is kind of like our version of decorating a house. It is funny to sit here reading about color choices. That said I really like the Patriot Brown.

Was that a cat or a little dog? I have some behind my house that I am going to thin out this Saturday morning. I hear them early in the morning howling.

Best post of the week. Awesome

Congrats on a great buck. Let him know his hair looked good for the pictures.

They might already be bedded down now. It has got pretty warm the last week. I have three friends with kids that have youth tags and they all say it is really warm. They are all saying that the bucks are bedding early.

That is a real nice bull. And that sounds very familiar.

Had me going for a second. Great picture as always.

Congratulations, that is awesome.

Congrats again Phil on an incredible bull. The videos of the fight were awesome to watch. It is amazing how powerful they are.

Congrats on a great hunt. This is the kind of write ups I like. I can't wait for an archery tag. Nothing like being up close and personal with bugling bulls for a week.

Dang that sucks. It is one thing when you hit a deer and it takes out your grill. But to hit an elk they clear the grill and come on in and join you in the front seat.

That looks great. By the way with a stud finder on deep cycle you can find the studs. I just moved and had to mount two bulls, a mule deer and coues deer on a wall with plywood over the studs. Got everyone of them the first time. I pre drill the holes so I don't split the studs due to the width of the bolts.

I have called in several coyotes up north. Unfortunately we were calling for turkeys. Last year I started packing my AR with me while the others shotguns.

Even if the bull was mortally wounded I feel the proper thing is to finish the job. If the original hunter had a mortally fatal shot than the bull should be his. But to say the second hunter should have sat there and not finished the bull is disrespectful to me. We as hunters owe it to the animals we hunt to shoot and kill them as fast as possible. That is where respect comes in. I have trophies mounted on the walls in my home. It isn't to show off my kills but to show respect for the animal and the hunt memories.

Congrats on a great bull.

I agree Flatlander. But we are not the typical hunters here on the site. Most average Joe's will be heading back home after a few days hunting.
