looks like that top buck has some years behind him.see how his bases are heavier than his main beams. I betcha he's outsmarted a bunch of hunters in his time.he's gotta real nice inside spread.I'd say around 15-16 inches.great pix.thanks
-
I think he might touch 90 but not anymore than that.

I use the zeiss davari 5-15x42 on my .300 weatherby and love it.puts em in there real tight. the clairity and brightness is great as well.

I'd have to disagree with you deerslam about a big mulie being harder to get then any other deer.you can only find coues in 3 different places AZ,NM,and old mexico. mule deer are found all across the western states and into canada. so i believe there's no way a big mulie is harder to get than a big coues.look in the record books as well and see how many b&c, p&y mule deer and coues there are.you guys shouldn't get too serious about mule deer being called carp.I've got a hard core mule deer guy at work that calls my beloved coues a dog deer because they don't grow any bigger than a large dog.he says its not worth hunting them because they don't have any meat on them.

I think your right 111. I studied it for a while and can't find a real noticable difference. the front 2 points really make me believe its the same as well.

just good hearted fun.I have a great story about this one.my brother has a rancher friend who hunts nothing but carp deer.he always told my brother the same thing.he'd say "if its so easy to get a mule deer than why don't you put in and try".well the next year my brother put in for carp deer and got drawn.On the first day my brother went out and shot a monster 4x4 that stopped to look back.it was hilarious.that rancher couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the deer my brother had in the back of his truck.you have to know that my brother is a heck of a hunter and usually gets a great deer every year no matter what species he's after.I also think it's because of the terrain that mulies live in out here.its a lot easier to hunt mulies in the rolling hills and flats than it is to hunt a coues up in them high peaks.

north,central minnesota by a little town called Sebeka. My grandpa has 120 acres of swamp and forest I hunt on.I'm gonna go up a week early to hunt some honkers as well.so not getting drawn isn't too bad.
-
you forgot about the last choice. didn't get drawn,going to minnesota in nov to hunt monster eastern whitetail

It's no fun shootin' em long distance. there's no sport in that.where's the hunt. oh, let me see, he's at 550 yards thru the rangefinder so that means 8 clicks up and aim 2 inches to the right. give me the good ol days when people actually got in close and took there game. I've taken more deer at less than 100 yds than any other distances. My 2 biggest deer were shot at 60 and 75 yds. thats when its fun, finding an animal,sneaking up close and making a good shot.

elkhorn ranch, Baboquivories I think.I used to deliver out there alot.

I believe you guys are right on. Mid 90's. his eye guards and inside width keep him back a little bit.I still would put him on the wall though.
thx for the pix. -
arizona dot has 2 different license plates you can apply for. 1 is used to prove ownership and the other is if you want to make it street legal by putting lights, a horn and rearview mirror on it. a lot of people don't register or have a title for there quads so they don't ever take it to motor vehicles. I don't know what the fine is for not having a plate on or if there even is a fine. I've never heard of anyone getting a fine that i know of that has a quad.

I saw the same thing in 27 that scott did on 2 different elk hunts.low flying 2 seater plane circling certain areas. I talked to a couple of local guides and they said the same thing about it being USO.
-
so that means that the website is right when it's showing I've got 3 bonus points for next year. 1 for not getting drawn, 1 for hunter ed, and 1 for being such a loyal, top notch arizonan. yeee haaaa, late whitetail 34a here we come in '06!
-
I've got a question for the rest of you guys that didn't get drawn. On the game and fish website it's showing that I have a loyalty point for deer.This is the first year that I wasn't drawn and I thought that loyalty pts were only for guys that put in for 5 years straight without getting drawn. I was just wondering if anybody else was showing the same thing.
Thx Wade

The only thing is is proving he was trying to locate elk or just out flying around.All he has to say is that he saw the elk and went in for a look at them.Unless you get them on a radio frequency telling someone there scouting there's no way to prove that they were doing anything wrong.I think az g&f or new mexico tryed to get an outfitter for doing this a while back but there was no way to prove it in court.just my dos pesos.

I believe it's easier to hunt coues on a windy day than a calm one.it seems when its calm and quiet I have a terrible time sneaking up on deer. last year I was able to sneak within 75 yards of a bedded buck while the wind was blowing about 20 mph. one shot from my .243 and he was down for good.
-
your gonna have to walk a ways off that road. there's a lot of road hunters that drive up and down on quads during hunting season.the good part is that once you walk about 1/2 a mile from the roads you'll start seeing a lot of good deer. 2 years ago I shot a decent buck in that area after I walked in about 1 1/2 miles.most quad hunters stay near the roads and don't walk in very far so I don't mind seeing a bunch of guys riding around.
-
was there any other tires with it or did you shoot the first thing with radials on it?
-
I think brian's right with around 13-14".Because deer always look wider from the back view and his ears are laid back making him appear wider as well.
wifes gonna kill me
