    What are we going to do if draw doesn't come out today?

    I was told by my super secret contact that the verification of draw results this year has been changed,they wont be posted due to server problems. You will have to await your tag to see if you were drawn!

    How much bigger can a muley buck get ...

    Could be the same buck.... but I'm not convinced. Look at his rump (I winced just writing that). There is a dark spot on top of the white. On the first buck it appears to come down to a point, sort of like a diamond. On the second one it is more of a blob. Not saying that his hair couldn't change, but there are a couple diferences like that.

    Find the deer pic

    Good to see the hunter is wearing blaze orange. The deer are a bit more tricky to spot, but they are there .

    THIS HAPPENED TO ME!!!

    Can't really say that this happened to me but I was a contributing factor in it. Me and my buddy were glassing a broad gulley in 32. Well, I guess the long day's hike coupled with the warm sun on our back and the soft sand under us (yes, for some reason this spot had some sand) was too much for him. It wasnt five minutes later I looked over and he was stone cold out. Let's just say this was awhile ago and, having seen no deer, I was bored. I took a feather that I had found early in the day and started tickling his nose with it. Seeing him bat at his unknown tormentor in his sleep was just too mcuh... I don't know I guess you had to be there. Anyways I was laughing REALLY hard when I tickled his nose again. At that exact instant I heard a distinctly audible grunt. I'm thinking wtf? I didn't know humans could a noise like that (and seriously considering leaving him on the hillside because I was certain he had rabies). Anyways a thought suddenly crosse my mind and I turn around. Yep. A nice 3x3 coues was staring at me about 100 yards away atop the ridge above the valley. I slowly grab my rifle (A custom .300 win mag) and prop it up on the bipod. meanwhile, the deer is also thinking wtf and looking at me like I'm an alien. I got lined up on him, quietly put one in the chamber, and pulled the trigger. The deer crumpled up and I am ecstatic. Suddenly I hear yowling that sounds like a dying animal. I look around and my budy is GONE. I have no idea what happens and then it hits me. I guess having a hot load from a .300 win mag go off six inches from your face in a gun with a serious muzzlebrake will startle a sleeping person. When I say startle I mean he took off screaming like a little girl down the gulley (unbeknownst to me, who was still half deaf from the muzzle blast). He evidently had tripped part ways down, and, lets just say, landed into a little cholla. He was covered in it and all I could do was laugh. I realized that a nice sized piece had went into his *private* regions. He was screaming and cursing at me and beggin me to get the cholla off all at the same time. Fat chance, I'm not putting my hand near that. Eventually he got all the thorns out and we patched him up ok. I felt a little guilty for not waking him up but what could I do? When it comes to your friend's well-being or having a chance at an awesome buck, You know what I'll pick every time . Let me tell you, that was one interesting night at hunting camp!

    drt ammo

    I shot a Coues buck at 542 yards with a custom handload shooting 150 grain Barnes TSX and the recovered bullet (only stopped by the opposite shoulder) exhibited textbook expansion. At that range I believ the load I was shooting would be down to 1800 +/- 100fps due to variances in temp, atmosphere, load, etc... I have also used Barnes (168 TTSX) on an Elk at 312 yards and they, again, demonstrated textbook penetration and controlled mushrooming. Devestating wound chanel, though not a huge waste of meat.

    Couesfan, out of all the threads so far, yours is the most unbelievable. If it werent for the pictures, I would probably called BS (at least in my head). Anyways, thanks for sharing! It was a fantastic read and very interesting. All these other stories have also been great. Keep them coming!
