I drew mine last year with 9 points and donated the tag to OE4A... my dad still has not drawn and is now up to 12 points I believe.

A 20" outside spread on a typical frame buck is going to be a buck that has a 16 to 17 inch inside spread depending on how massive he beams are and how his tine configuration is. I would love to see pictures of the buck you are talking about. If you look at the space between the antlers from base to base on the inside is normally around 2 to 2 1/2 inches depending on the buck.

Way to go Allen on yet another great buck!!!

No back to back for me and the ol' man is up to 11 points for turkey now

Hey guys and gals I am wanting to start working up a good load for my .280 and was wondering if anybody could help me out. I am looking to use 160 grain Nosler Accubonds with either IMR-4350 or Alliant Reloader 22 and was curious if anybody could help me out with the max loads and starting points for these. Also if anybody has worked up loads for there .280 what worked for them. Thanks guys and gals.

Here is the story of my first coues buck from 2006 on the 36b November hunt. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4505#entry48852

Well after spending 6 months in Nebraska I have come to the conclusion that AZ is where I belong. I will be moving back in the middle of October and cannot wait to get back out to chase some coues bucks around.

Stanley I wish I could but I will be unpacking still most likely. I do have a 36c early November tag so I am hoping to smoke a big buck this season.

Less than 3 weeks now!!! Cant wait to get back to AZ and start glassing up some coues bucks and seeing all my friends back home!

Congrats on a once in a lifetime bull Josh!

There is no better feeling than spending quality time in the field with your dad! Hope you and your dad have many more years ahead.

Way to go Conner!!! That is a great looking buck!

My buddy smoked a decent buck in 4b Saturday morning. Good luck on your hunt and post pics when you can.

Maybe we will see you down there again Doug. I will let you know where we will be camped and holpefully you could swing by for a beer.

It can be a pain to adjust especially if you come up over a rise and you have your pin set for 40 yards thinking that is going to be how far he is and he ends up being 20. You can look at some site companies like sureloc, spott hogg or even copper john and get a multiple pin sliding sight, that way you can have your 20 through 40, 50 or 60 and use your bottome pin for any longer shots with the slide.

I was thinking the same thing... has to be the same person.

I would reccomend going to a shop and asking them to let you shoot a bow set up at 29 and 29.5 inch draw. With your wingspan measurement I would normally set someone up with a 29 inch draw so you can shoot with a slight bent arm. This will be alot more comfortable and you will probably be more consistant. You do not want to be stretched out to much since that will cause poor form and you would be more likely to catch your arm when shooting especially when shooting with a jacket on.

Gun is SPF

My dad is looking to sell his Remington 700 CDL in .257 Weatherby. It has a stainless steel action and fluted barrel, action blueprinted, freefloated, timney trigger set to 2.5 pounds and it shoots sub MOA out to 600 yards (will give load recipe). Also with the gun is the scope, Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40 with front parallex and varmint hunter reticle. The ring base setup is a Talley setup. Pictures will be posted later. Asking $1400 obo.

I will be there tomorrow also. Looking forward to seeing everybody again.

Just wanted to let everybody on here know that I am going to be moving to Nebraska on the 20th. I am hoping to be back for a coues hunt this next year but there is no garuntees. I will be attending the Arizona Elk Society banuet on the 19th and hope to see a bunch of you there.
