looks like a great cat. way cool.

Huge congrats Justin and Braedon. Great coues buck.

Congrats Jed and Ian. I'm excited for you guys, what a couple of Giant bulls.

Big or bust - No I've gotten to know some of the ranch families over the years but I've never hunted private land...

You really are that much of a stud huh?

Clb- you back at the ranch yet?

Well that's it...I'm deleting my little bucks....clb those are some studs..

2 of my 36a bucks.

Unit 36a was the unit I cut my teeth on in the Coues hunting world. There are a few good bucks in the unit, but access is difficult, bucks can be very scarce and lots of hunters. This is my best out of there a few years ago. Not real big, but a cool buck and fun solo hunt.

This is what I've been doing for the last few weeks. I do not miss all those years of school or the valley. Since we have church obligations on Sunday, our work/play day is Saturday, This is how the Davis family spends it. My Son's first Elk, My uncle's best buck to date. Good buddy Ammon's last day he could hunt buck My wife and I's favorite activity, the kids whine and cry til we get out, just like most kids will do, but once we get going they work very hard. We probably get 8-10 cord a year for ourselves and family and friends. We hunt in the am and or pm and work throughout the day. I strongly believe that a family working together will keep it strong, and our great country is disintegrating because of the lack of families that learn how to work, individually and together. We often times come home with more shiny rocks and chunks of "pretty" wood than we do firewood but I wouldn't trade my fall days with my family for anything in this world.

If a guy asks about a 461 or 660 he most likely knows saws and echo isn't real high on the list for a reason....and this is coming from some one who owns a echo 670 and stihls and runs a husky sometimes... Echo is a good saw but IMO can't compare to some of the others...

Great tall buck...nicely done...

Congrats to your boys on some fine looking bucks.

"Dink bucks of mexico" wouldnt sell as may books or papers...as stated before its easier to find and kill big bucks in mexico because of the lack of pressure. That being said they are still very hard to come by..very hard.

Congrats Porter L.. nicely done

Only wolf was from the air. I'm sure there are times when caribou hunting may be easy, but ours was not one of them... we were extremely lucky to get caribou at all. Huge thanks to Golden Eagle.

Yeah and then we waited 3 more days in the field without seeing anything but 2 grizzly bears. Very different and tough hunt for sure. One more of Clay showing off the tops of his bull. One of my favorite shots showing the 206 coming in to take us out.

Funny. I just uploaded some pictures and was going to start a post. It was a great time, lots of memories. I glassed what I assumed was antlers at about 2000 yards. Pic through my 15's Up close more of my bull

I like the short but if you have close set eyes you may need an extra base for the extra inch to allow the binos to adjust all the way in together...

I don't think it is the energy that is the issue. It is the ability to maintain consistent groups st those distances.

Congrats Joel, and crew.. what a special hunt for you guys...glad I could be part of it in a small way.

Sundevil- I believe you have bulls and units and persons mixed up a bit. J Larsen killed a giant bull and his hunting buddy but he doesn't work at archery headquarters but yes goes by the handle sneak freak. Also not 23S I guess SunDevil deleted his post.

Asu should not even been in that situation, but I agree that really was a horrible way to win/lose.

Well...I was probably made a liar...In the last 2 days we probably have gotten 2-3 inches of rain with some real downpours....good chance your tanks are full. Bad news I wouldn't even think of sitting water..

There is water everywhere, even on the north of 260. If the tanks don't have water in them now, they won't in 3 weeks, unless we get lucky. Usually the reasons the tanks don't hold water is 1.lack of maintenance 2. changes in drainage. Good luck it will be a fun hunt. Grass is awesome.
