Man - that's a beatiful mount! I love the details and character. Looks like he wasn't quite done growing either. Congrats.

Sucks when you're stuff gets stolen. I bet it feels pretty good you get it back though I've never recovered anything. Good thing they have what's coming to them. Hopefully, the judge doesn't go softly on them.

I'll see ya out there. The planets aligned for me as well!! Good luck to you...

Coach - it's already corrupted.

The game warden I asked told me "If it's family, the original tag holder must be present at time of kill - not at home or at camp." I have read articles in magazines contradicting what this warden told me so I guess it's not illegal unless you get caught...? I would worry about interpretation on this one - there's a lot at stake if mommy was at camp when jr. killed his bull.

All the bulls I posted in the trailcam section (velvet bulls) are from a spot my son killed a couple bulls in a couple years back in 22n. I placed that camera for a friend of mine who had the Nov archery tag last year to get him motivated. If you find a great spot like I did it can be an easy hunt - if not it will be incredibly difficult. I scouted 36 days to find a my son's first bull 3 years ago and that time produced several awesome spots where I know a good bull can be killed any day of hunting season. There's plenty of elk, but they won't move much in dayligt in November. The bull in my avatar is my son's first bull he took when he was 12 - lucky kid! Good luck...

Foxes and cats seem to bring out the worst in taxidermy. Some guys that do great deer mounts really blow a cat mount. I had my bobcat done by Chris Krueger @ Krueger's creations in Phoenix I think I paid $1150 and he bleached the skull. Incredible mount. My advice is to make sure you see their previous mounts to make sure they are schooled on more than deer and elk.

Just drew a unit 10 archery bull tag! Got excited and started looking through some memory cards from last season from a different unit. These bulls started on this salt lick before mid April. They used it weekly and sometimes daily up to the end of August. 23 total different bulls. Just a reminder to get your licks up and going. Enjoy the pics.

congrats on your first archery success.

It doesn't take 5 years to get the dark patch. I'll "shut up" now to satisfy Mr. Goodman. My apologies Jeff.

Re-read my post boys. I didn't say it's not a coues because it looks similar to another rack or rack configuration. It's a unique cool looking rack and looks a lot like the one in a magazine. I was stating just because a deer has close bases doesn't justify it's species. "Here's an "eaterner" I shot in Michigan (which is not that far from Kansas) close to 20 years ago. Note that its bases are not close. Also note how the eyeguards on my buck do not seem to come straight up from the bases as do those on that head. " - Bill Q. Bill - You have a nice WIDE racked buck pictured. Of course the bases are not going to be close together - it's a WIDE racked buck. There's plenty of pics of narrow eastern w/t's with bases extremely close together that form narrow racks. Jeff - sorry to question your buck. Please post a picture of the body prior to you cutting the rack off it so the issue is resolved and I can eat crow. Without a pic of the entire deer I stick with my opinion. There have been people all over the place lately (past couple years) selling eastern bucks as monster coues deer. I've personally seen 2 in Bullhead City, 1 in Rye and 1 in Albuquerque. All with the same "scalp" cut with brown hides. Sorry about my skepticism.

I'm with Brian on this one. That's an eastern w/t. Narrow eaterners grow close bases. For those of you who are members of the huntin fool look at the resemblance of rack configuration on this buck to the buck from Kansas - it's pretty cool to compare the two. Cool buck.

what swaros are you wanting?

Currently, I can't think of a worse arrow on the market than the easton flatline - especially for elk. I've killed elk with several different set ups and my favorite is easton FMJ with a 50gr brass insert and a 100 gr NAP Hellrazor.

can you put custom logos on them?

monster buck. Congrats to Jeremy. Thanks for sharing. I bet it was impressive holding that rack. 129"

very nice - thanks for sharing and congrats on the trophy.

"Obviously some one who places salt out in December doesn't know much about deer." Finally, Gearsnagger made a valid point! 1 in 120 posts. The rest of his posts have been verbal diarrhea.

my bows the past 5 years: 1) Mathews Outback 2) Mathews Drenalin 3) Mathews DXT 4) Hoyt Maxxis 31 5) Hoyt Alphaburner 6) Bowtech Invasion 7) Hoyt Carbon element RKT 8) Mathews Helium I liked something different on each of these bows. Probably shot the alphaburner the best. Killed the most with the drenalin. Right now, I have the helium and element. I absolutely love the helium. Mathews finally made a winner again. Good luck finding your perfect bow. I know I never will!

I have the same bow and have always ordered winner's choice immediately. I have 700 shots through the bow and have not experienced any issues yet. I wouldn't worry about the string until you start seeing some issues. I have my winner's choice ready to replace this one when time comes, but if I can get through a year with this string I'll be content.

which insurance co do you have?

That's an awesome buck for sure. Please post some more pics for our viewing pleasure. Can't see where the measurements are coming from with this pic. Congrats on a great trophy.

I'd like to get my son a shotgun for christmas. Needs to be camo or synthetic as it will be abused. 12ga with screw in chokes is preferred. If you are thinking of selling one please let me know what you have. Thanks, Wade
