33 Coues Oct 21/27th

I got this tag too

["Group Bonus Point Average 1" What does it mean ?]

This is really distributing that the points aren’t being added and you as the customer have to call to remind AZGFD.  Not good.

Are you talking about B&C book books? It would be outstanding to get 4 book bucks in a lifetime, especially without guides.

Looking forward to your reports.

Good Luck!

 

 

The buck I posted a picture of would have scored like 110 with the deductions on Boone and Crockett.  It’s a silly system.  SCI is more straightforward

Thanks!  I prefer SCI myself, but yes that’s the goal.  I will have help on each hunt, guides on 2 of the hunts, but that’s mainly for glassing as I won’t have a ton of glassing help otherwise.  Will keep you posted!

That's a heck of a buck. Did you hunt Sonora or Chihuahua?

Thanks!  It was northern Sonora!

MX was the easiest part

NM will probably be the hardest

I agree.  And MX was not easy in the slightest bit.

Frank, I remember not that long ago Coues deer were your kryptonite. Look at ya now, all grown up and trying to set records! Good luck my man! 

Thank you my friend.  They are still my nemesis but I’ve learned a lot from my failures.  Time to make amends.

That buck's a stud! Congrats! It would be pretty crazy to get 4 bucks all over 100 in a year. 4 over 110 would be absolutely legendary! Good luck man! Hope you can pull it off.

Thanks my friend I’m gonna need it!

Would be an impressive accomplishment to get 4 book bucks in one calendar year

Thank you!  I think so too!  Gonna give it whatever I got in the tank

Your New Mexico hunt will definitely be the most challenging, unless you know that unit, or hire a guide. I shot 2 one year and I felt like I hit the lottery…. 4 is awesome! 
that buck is an absolute stud by the way, love the angular tines

Thanks my friend.  I agree NM numbers are way lower.  I don’t know the unit but am bringing in some help

Hey there.  Was not intending to come across as presumptuous at all.  I am laying out that I have 3 more tags in my pocket.  Every single hunt will be its own battle.  If anything I’d say the odds are stacked against me..

I know 2 guys that take more than 3 a year in Mexico with their bows. Money and available tags is all it takes. Congratulations and good luck. Ed F

Thanks Ed.  No doubt you can buy your way into tags in Mexico.  I’m talking about being the first ever to take a record buck in each of the 4 legal hunting areas, all in one year
