Wow what a great hunt! Can't beat hunting with the family thats for sure. Any more of a story on the hunt? I always enjoy a little narrative especially when its about the kids, takes me back to huntin with my Dad.

Sorry but i think you are the only one! :P Fortunately I am confident it will be worth the wait :ph34r: Congrats on a stud buck Jim

Here's an article from the latest SI. I find their approach extremely interesting... Anyone else read it?? http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vau...866/3/index.htm

hahaha I've only met ya once and i coulda guessed you woulda said that

Glad to hear everything went so well. and i know what you mean about the CW.com sticker, sure does attract a lot of interested people

Based on all the success stories posted recently, I would have to say pretty dang good...

oh man am i jealous of you right now! I have only seen does fight in the full rut, december to january. thats quite a sight for this time of year

Ummm... That would be my fault not Christians. apparently i cant see the difference between a 2 and 3 in my own handwriting. Sorry Christian :ph34r:

WOW! great read Christian, thanks for puttin us all in the hunt right there with ya. I really have to give you a sincere congratulations though. I have never and I mean never seen somebody with such dedication to Coues hunting and your story just cements that notion. I can honestly say you and your Dad deserved every inch of bone you brought down this weekend. Congrats again on a hunt you and your dad will remember for a long long time. P.S. thanks for havin me come down AFTER you knock down two studs glad i could be so much help

Happy Birthday! hope i can come help ya out on your san carlos tag

We got my uncle that adapter for Christmas and all i can say is WOW!! Yes the price is very high but it is such a joy to use on coues hunts when we glass for 9 hours a day. It makes life so much easier and allows for quick glancing from either set of eyes. For anyone that has ever lost a buck while trying to throw on the spotter, you know it is frustrating. this thing virtually eliminates that. If you can afford it i highly recommend it and anything from Outdoorsmans, they stand behind their product like no one ive ever met Definitely one of the coolest contraptions i could carry in the field, just gotta get the spotter first

So now i dont even get mentioned in the post?? Man im really starting to wonder if im ever gonna see my pack and binoculars again...

I agree except i think you understated it by a loooooong shot

Not lookin to good...

If i were to backpack in i have to imagine i would camp near a tank or spring and carry tablets or a water bottle filtration system in an emergency. Im sorry to hear the antler were cut off but i am also sorry to hear all the lead flung. It was hard to focus on the story with all the lead flying around in my head. I dont know how i could shoot all those times let alone bed the buck and leave... Just my .02

We have 8 animals that Clay has mounted in our house and I only have the best of things to say about him and his work. Great all around guy with an even better product!

Its definitely a 2x2 but I'm not going to say because I MAY have heard about this buck already Either way its a stud 2 point

How come every time i carry a lion tag there are none in the state and the minute i take it out, they pop out like rodents???? Just the way it works i guess And at least he carried a sidearm, most hikers i know do not...

WOW!! STUD buck you got yourself there. looks like you did a little celebrating with the crown and silver soda

Heard about this deer almost as it hit the dirt and all i can say is WOW! Sounds like a great hunt with an even better result. Congratulations on such a successful hunt

Have not heard of this place yet, will definitely have to give it a shot though

WOW!! that looks like a dream hunt come true much congrats on such a successful hunt

Well if you have any trouble finding him, I am fully willing to help with your search attempt

I can understand leaving a gun at the place my animal fell but leave it along a road i just cant imagine...

Floyd has two tripods and neither one are CF. His are "proprietary" and typical of everything else over there, way over priced. have you ever owned an outdoorsmans tripod? definitely the best purchase i have made out of all my hunting equipment. their product, while not CF, is light, sturdy and wont crack like CF. they stand behind their product more than anyone i have met. they will clean, oil, and put new feet on the tripod whenever i ask. after 5 years, my dads started to have a little friction in one of the legs and they gave him a brand new one on the spot. they also recently changed their clamps to a high density plastic type material and offered to swap out my old aluminum ones for free. Outstanding CS and company to buy from. while they are not CF, i felt the need to stick up for the good ol local boys who really care about you.
