the report is they used a weighted bag for the disposal of the body.

better be careful or the gov might find some way to tax you for all that "free" bone you've been harvesting at the expense of our precious and delicate ecosystem.

Nice job all the way around TJ!

thats a real nice bird. congrats.

I know a guy that has a remington 700 BDL in 300 RUM and he loves it.

I use 3" mag out of a 30" full choke barrel. I have shot 4 shot and 6 shot. Doesn't seem to be much difference. You can also by shells that have mixed shot 4 and 6 combined. You do need to pattern your gun to see where the shot is going and to gauge your max distance. I dropped a coyote in it's tracks once with this setup using 4 shot at 49 yards. most guys I know that hunt a lot of turkeys just bone the breast meat out and chuck the rest. I kept the wings and legs once and had my mom make some soup out of it. Meat wasn't really any good and we ended up feeding it to the dogs.

never put this 7mm Mag on one of the net gun auctions. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22962

Surviving the Game.

ditto on the pics. especially the Savage. What kind of condition is it in?

Tony.....the brain is already scrambled but I do manage to read between the lines and figure out bits and pieces. Amanda......I never ever thought I could get any smarter than I already is but cwt has elevated me higher than I ever thought possible. Non-Typical Solutions.......Ag classes? Just when I thought I had it all together . TJ TJ is always learning new stuff. just a couple months ago he learned that narrow road + big mesquite tree = remodeled truck door. \"/

can't wait to meet him and start glassing up bucks with him!!!

great bird amanda. congrats. I still think the merriams I got from the SC was prettier than the goulds I got a month later in SAZ.

it has generally been our observation that it is not until after may 1st.

why not set them up now and get pics of em before they drop?

this site could have used a little granola.

I always got a chuckle out of the article in the American Hunter that listed their "Top 3 coues hunters of all time". a year or so later, one of the guys that was in their top 3 was investigated by B&C. Shortly there after, all of his coues records had been removed from their record book. Always wondered what it would have taken to have the magazine make a correction to their original article as it was solely based on the number of records in the B&C book.

well that is the gov for you. don't let it spoil the incredible season you had. congrats!

Pennsylvania has 25 times more people hunting deer (as well as a heck of a lot more deer) than we do. More importantly, it does not have the large number of deer-eating predators that we have. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Bill Quimby well both are fruit and I would imagine the same fruit management programs that would be put in place to grow big apples could also be used to grow big oranges.

Brian - what unit and hunt do you have?

Pennsylvanie instituted a point restriction a few years ago. it was hotly debated. within a few years they found that success rates returned to normal and the avg age and size (antler size and body size) of the deer being harvest had gone up.

congrats. that is a great buck and some nice pics. I have a couple mounts that Stacy has done (including my avatar) and I have been very pleased with his work. he does a great job.

in 2007 our national deficit for the WHOLE year was $170B. in 2011 we had a national deficit for ONE MONTH that was $220B. either people in DC are really smart or really dumb. I will go with the later.

Happy Day Scott. Hope you have a great one!

Topo software would be a good investment used along with google earth because topos don't show all the roads. Tony and Duane's book available for sale here on CWT along with unit info from AZ G&F would also be good. If you can't come out for a scouting trip, you might want to come out 3-4 days prior to your hunt to scout the areas you have decided to focus on. Further away you can get from the roads the better you will do (especially if you find a shooter before the season starts) but opening weekend of the Oct and Nov hunts gets pretty busy out in the desert. Good binos, tripod, spotting scope, range finder and water are a must. Good luck!
