One hunter and a member of this forum shot a buck this morning almost on the same spot were I shot my 108 two years ago. The rumor is that this buck has 8" EYE GUARDS and is pushing 113 inches.......I cant wait to se the pictures!! Ernesto C

Nothing wrong with that.......in Mexico every one is named Juan or Maria Good bucks, they are big enough for me too. Ernesto C

Stalkincoues, if you are already thinking that you'll get sick let me tell you something, you'll get sick. Even if the meat is perfectly ok you are already suggesting and convincing your mind that you'll get sick. Dont think you'll get sick, if things went exactly the way you told us the meat is perfectly safe to eat. You can donate some of the meat if you want to; also a thankfull pray before your meals will help. Ernesto C

Excellent, what a year for you ha? Hey I dont see any blood on her Ernesto C

The meat is perfectly good, nothing to be worry about. Ernesto C

Some of you remember and some of you may know Rich Thompson, he's a fellow coues white tail member, goes by "coues addict" here in the forum. His brother passed away last week. Please keep Rich and his family in your prayers and may the Lord give them strength to heal their loss, Amen! Ernesto C

Larry, there were several bucks there but they were like a 1/2 mile west from were you saw Alberto, including the 112 Randy missed at 80 yards. How you did on your ranch? Ernesto C

Good luck Tim and dont shoot the wrong buck ok? Ernesto C

AWESOME!! Congratulations.

Matt, I never get to see "Alberto". There was another 4 X 5 but he was only like 103 inches, nothing close to Alberto. I had/have two weeks vacation, I supposed to take my time not to pressure, look for Alberto or another big buck........actually I found a big buck but sucked big time . The very first day I hunted, with-in 5 minutes of glassing I had a 105 inch buck 250 yards from me.....man it was hard to pass that buck with 5 inch eye guards; but decided not to shoot becuase I wanted to look/take Alberto. Thanks a lot guys and I guess I'm not the only one ha? I will post some pictures once I get back from the ranch again this coming weekend. Ernesto C

My quad, back pack etc etc. including my camera is back on the ranch. I will go back down this weekend to help out a couple of other hunters and as soon I get back I will post some pictures. I was so sad and upset with my self that I did not took any pictures of the buck I got. We took some later on on the ranch that I will post when I get back. The buck I shot is on the 75 - 80 range. The other hunter that was there missed a 110 and later on the week missed a 112.........what's up with that?? Ernesto C

I came back from Sonora after looking for "Alberto The King of the Mountain" (that's how Larry (Scout'em) named the buck) the 115 inch buck he hunted for 2 days last year. Looked for him one day with no luck, looked for him the following and within 15 minutes of glasing I already spotted 4 bucks, 80, 90, 100 and one that was pushing the number to 115 inches. I knew he was not "Alberto" but I said to my self -"sorry Larry but this buck will do for me" I called my brother and another hunter on the radio to come and help me out with the stalk of this buck but we were about 6 miles apart we had no radio contact. The buck bedded down and whatched him for about two hours, once again tried to have radio contact with the others but no luck. THE STALK The buck was not moving at all, he problably was tired of being chasing and taking care of his hot doe that he had just behind him behind an ocotillo. I will go down to the wash will hike up to point A and from there will shoot to point B where the buck is said to my self; that's what I was trying to do but when I got down to the wash I noticed It wasn't going to work because point A was lower and will not be able to see the buck. I hiked buck up to my glassing spot where I had left my back pack and binoculars and hoping he was still bedded, yes, there he was in the same spot. Tried one more time for my brother and/or the other hunter but the radios did not had that much reach I guess. Now I was convinced for sure that I had to do the stalk alone. 2nd TRY AND MOMENT OF TRUTH Decided to go down again but this time will hike up the ridge all the way to the top and will move right above them. I left again my binoculars and back pack there and drink a whole bottle of water and off I went. One hour later I was on top of the ridge and 4 hours since I glassed the buck. Catching my breath, I slowly peek or look over the rocks and look for him or his doe, nothing, I could not see them. I ranged the point where I saw them the last time, 180 yds. 30 minutes later I was thinking did they move?? did the doe got up and the buck followed her?? maybe while hiking up they moved but in which direction?? Or maybe they are still there but I just cant see them because the tree where they were bedded down is blocking my vie?? Once again called in the radios but for answer I recieved silence. Another 30 minutes went by and still nothing. There was one moment that I felt the necessity to cough.....I could not hold it anymore and cough,cough,cough tried to muffle the noise with my shirt and hands but I guess did not work out because I looked up and there!! a deer!! is a doe or a buck?? Look through my rifle scope (That day I left my "chest binoculars" on the quad" ) it was a doe but she had me pinned and send the alarm that probably every deer herd in the whole canyon -FUUUSSHSHHH!! FUUSSHH- FUUUSSSH. She ran back on the the tree and she came out on the oposite side! then saw a deer following her! raised my rifle and through the brush I saw antlers and said....-This is the buck!! deer came out to an opening and BOOOOMMMMMM!!.......I missed!!! Now the adrenaline is at a full rush and I'm under pressure!! the doe ran back to the tree where they came out and buck following her I shot again BOOOMMMM!! I know the buck is hit!! but still moving and just before he entered the tree BOOOMMM again the buck droped on its tracks!! THEN THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED!!! The doe came out of the tree with HUGE buck following her!! and I'm like WHAT??? totally CONFUSED!! Where that buck came from???? .........OH NO!! GOD PLEASE NO!! Dont tell me I shot the wrong buck!?!? NO PLEASE NO!! For a moment I thought on shooting the other buck too but said no! I have a buck on the ground! Came down as fast as I could to the buck and whatching the other one walk away with thousands of emotions and feelings going through my mind and body. PLEASE GOD TELL ME I DID NOT SHOT THE WRONG BUCK!! ....came to my buck and yes there he was I SHOT THE WRONG BUCK, THIS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MY BUCK!! I FELT LIKE TRASH! I FELT REALLY BAD I WANTED TO CRY. I SAID GOD I KNOW IS A GIFT FROM YOU AND I DONT WANT TO MAKE YOU MAD BUT I DID NOT WANTED THIS BUCK!! Guys, Larry............I felt and to this moment I'm still feeling bad (well now I dont feel as bad as before ) THE KING or I should say KINGS are still alive!! Alberto gets to live another year!! Ernesto C Yes I shot the wrong buck, I still feel like I want to puke, sorry guys .....I goofed big time

Good job Tommy but hey, dont you have a camera?? field photos will be great, just dont buy one of those disposable cameras Ernesto C

Mike, you the man!! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your succes with us. You are right.....that buck looks a lot biger. Ernesto C

Wow that's a nice buck! I think getting stuck was worth it isn't? Congratulations. Ernesto C

Wow guys good job!! Those are trophies in my book too! Ernesto C

I say water is not edible, it is drinkable.......my two cents? Ernesto C

Congratulations on a muy grande Puma and also congrats for not givin up! Persistence paid off. Ernesto C

Doug, you dont have to wonder any more! Ernesto C

BIG BUCK!!

Catclaw, christian or no christian, I dont think any one will let his kids get raped and just watch and do nothing correct?. You called me "good christian"......I never said or called my self "good christian" We all know good.....there is only one. Tim, like you said, we can go on and on with scenarios, you need to re-read my post. Ernesto C

Yeap, before taking the class I already knew bullets will go through walls. I'm glad you learned a lot in that class Is this turning political yet?

What I ment is that if I see the guy going behind a wall, I wont hesistate to damage the wall to knock his bud down!! It will be completly stupid to shoot if the bullet is going to take your child too! If a "bad guy" comes into your house after midnigth, through the window, with knife or gun on hand, he has no bussines at all there and that's enough reasons to blow his brains out..............yea you may have a little blood on the floor but that's better than have a love one on pain,destroy for the rest of his/her life. Ernesto C

Yeap, 12 Gauge short barrel with buck shot (holds 7 rounds), 357 Mag, and 38 Special as a back up; they will go through walls and for sure will drop them dead if necessary.

Nice, good Job!!
