come on Casey - 75? just for kicks I put a tape on him and came up with 64. oh well - maybe I can change my name to 'seventhcoueswas64'. naw I'll stick with sundevil - even though they fired my coach. CB

just quit jamming your 243 ammo into your 223 rifle. I know you are always trying to get improved ballistic performance but come on. that should take care of it.

A LOT BIGGER - 3X3 with probably about 8 inch G2s. Short thirds but good main beam and great G2s. Probably a mid 90s deer. CB

Doug - Love your toilet bowl cartoon! I was alone. If Scout'm had been with me it would not have happened. Very rarely do we split up but we did that evening. There were however several benefits to this situation. One I did not mention is we found a little spot that holds deer but is difficult to hunt correctly. I am sure we will scout this spot in the future and who knows, maybe the bigger buck that got away will be in there next year. Anyway, here is a pic of "W" (short and code word for 'wrong'). I wasn't even able to get any field pics because I was alone and it was dark. Oh well - better pics would have been tough anyway because he had a hole in his cheek and his mouth wouldn't shut because his jaw had been shot out. Later. CB

Heard about it and just found a pic of it. CB http://www.azodchat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12950

1998 was the last year I personally saw any good bucks in this unit and I have been in there 6 of the last 8 years since then. I refuse to let Scout'm put that unit on our application but every year he asks. I was down there this year in october helping some friends with there hunt and saw 4 spikes and a fork horn in 2 days of hard hunting. Once again though, saw some good ole boys who had the key to the locked gate from Klump. Shot a buck right off the road as a matter of fact. Also found some kind of deer stand or something. Looked like some kind of plastic seat on top of a windmill stand. Should have taken a pic of it. Seemed kind of weird. Anyway - I personally have had enough of this unit to last me awhile. CB

That was Scout'm. He was there with his brothers. One from CA and one from UT. I would have been with him but was helping out a couple of other buddies down in the Dos Cabezas. We will be back in 33 on our Nov hunt next weekend. CB

I used the 150 grain remington core lokts in my 7 mag for years. then I switched to the ballistic tips. currently am using the remingtom ballistics but I dont think the winchesters are much different. CB

Went back and checked who drew unit 23 this year. here is the list I came up with: treestandman fatfootdoc (early Nov) TAM (early Nov) Bcoover Scott Adams (Oct muzzy) Flagstaff4398 (his son) Corkin it (early Nov) Phx hunter My hunting buddy and I will be over scouting from Oct 13th - Oct 15th. We will probably scout and hunt the Harden Cienega area. Anyone else care to share where they may be at to avoid stepping on each other toes when we are out there? Anyone hunting on a private ranch? Anyone going to be over there scouting on the dates I am? Good luck to you all and maybe we will meet up somewhere along the line. CB

the bear was up high. as were the bears we saw last year. in the junipers eating the berries. I also saw some bear tracks last weekend at another dirt tank. I guess it could have been the same bear but I doubt it. CB -
What should my name be?

how about lobocoues? -
One other thing - once the shooting starts - start looking in the thickest, nastiest parts of the terrain. more than likely, that is where the older, smarter bucks will be hiding out. CB

look in the shade first thing in the morning as well. just because it is morning does not mean they will not be in the shade. have seen plenty of deer and bucks in the shade at first light. tough to glass but well worth it. CB

pretty much a bummer of a trip. only saw 3 little bucks. 2 were legal but not really shooters. maybe last day shooters and only because they were at a tank that was right off the road. did see a really nice rust colored sow with a cub. like scout'm said, got rained and hailed on saturday afternoon. ended up cutting the trip short and coming home early to avoid the thunderstorms. CB -
Oct = find them before the season and keep an eye on them. Nov = try to figure out places where they get pressured too or find places that may not have been pressured in Oct. Dec = find the does. CB

have worked for UnitedHealthcare now for 10 years. hopefully nobody out there has had any bad experiences with us. quite possible though due to how complicated health care really is. know quite a bit about health care in general and how to get through the insurance system maze. let me know if I can be of any help to anyone out there.

Bill - did you get scouting last weekend? where are the pics? hope you had some success. We are going this weekend for 3 days. Probably spend 1.5 days south of mule creek and another 1.5 days up harden somewhere. this will be our only scouting weekend before the hunt so what we find this weekend will probably determine where we are during the early Nov hunt. will let you know how things go next week when we get back. my buddy checked and there are still some bear tags available for that zone. we may pick one up before we head over. need to check on the price. Later. CB -
Was out on my first scouting trip so far this year. Saw a really nice 2 point. He probably had 18" main beams and 9 inch G2s. He also had 2 inch kickers coming off from his G2s. The problem is he only had little nubs for G3s. Probably not 1 inch yet. Without G3s, he is probably a 95 inch buck but with even 1 inch G3s and 3 inches of 4th mass he is a 100 inch buck. Is he done growing or will those G3 nubs get some more length to them? Unfortunately my wife had the camera and I didn't throw in my video camera. Another interesting thing about this buck is that he was standing right out in the sun at 4:30 in the afternoon. Not exactly what I was expecting but right out there non the less. Thanks for your thoughts. CB

so I started playing around with the video that I have taken over the last couple of years. had never played around with the software that allows you to download the footage to your PC. have now spent several hours behind the monitor looking at, editing and taking snap shots of video footage. here are some sweet snaps of the buck I took last year in NM. I have also saved probably the best 20 - 30 seconds of footage I have of this same buck. I will email to 'downthebarrel' and see if he will upload to his photobucket account. has got me a little excited to go to NM and go scouting. CB and a couple more
