    You ever see rutting in November?

    Saw a 2x2 chase a doe for 15 mins with his nose to the ground straight out doggin her. She finally was able to give him the slip after which the buck was able to sniff out 3 more doe and proceeded to chased them around for about 5 mins. All this happen during the early rifle hunt(late October) in unit 29.

    My Biggest Yet!!!!!

    Becker shoots yet another GIANT coues! This guy sure has got these big boys figured out. Such an incredible deer! I Love everything about this buck especially his beams. How long are they 20+??? You going to post any more details on how the hunt went down? Congrats on getting your biggest buck man!

    mass and trash

    . The buck lived the entire time in about a 800 yard by 800 yard box. Usually in very thick and flat terrain. He had to be on the fringes of that box in order to harvest him. That's why we were lucky to get him because catching him on the fringe of his core habitat required the luck of timing. Gets old sitting in the same spot all day, day after day waiting for him to make a mistake. Cool thanks. Sounds like you guys put in some serious work to get this buck. Congrats again to everyone involved and thanks for sharing the experience with us.

    mass and trash

    Not much more I can say that hasn't been said already. I'm a mass man and this kind of buck is the kind of buck I dream of finding someday. Congrats on such an incredible buck! Just out of curiosity how far did the buck move in the last three years of hunting him? Did he happen to stay in the same canyon year after year?

    Swarovski 12x50 EL (((SOLD)))

    I have a very nice pair of Swarovski 12x50 ELs for sale. I recently bought these from the original owner who bought them from an official US Swarovski dealer in 2014. The original owner used them very sparingly for stargazing only. Since I've bought them I've only used them in my backyard a few times to test them out. As far as I know they've never been on a hunt or been used anywhere other than someones yard. Needless to say they are in outstanding condition. I hate to use terms like "mint" or "like new" but in this case I would have to say they are in mint condition. Reason for the sale is simple my eyes were bigger than my wallet. Located in Seirra Vista and I'm asking $2200. I'll post pics as soon as I get the chance. Thanks. (((Reduced to $2000)))

    My Solo Adventure

    Man what a great write up and incredible hunt it looks like you had Jack. I can confirm what you said about how things on Google Earth look smaller than they really are and I also tried a solo backpack hunt this year and an experience you what your had was exactly what I was hoping for. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me like yours did for you. Not even close. Huge congrats on your successful solo backpack hunt!

    Swarovski 12x50 EL (((SOLD)))

    Back from hunting and all PMs have been answered. Binos are still available for $2000. There has been a lot of people asking me for trades. Sorry I'm not interested in trades at this time.

    Swarovski 12x50 EL (((SOLD)))

    Probably the nicest glass I've had the opportunity to look through. Just a heads up starting tomorrow I'll be out hunting until Tuesday the 27th unless I tag out early. Not taking the 12x50s with me because I don't want to run the risk of damaging them in anyway so they'll still be in the same current condition as I listed in this ad.

    Best spotter for digiscoping?

    Your getting some great results from your little 65mm WHT_MTNMAN. That Nightforce is a sweet scope. Rumor has it that it is made by Meopta and is pretty much the same scope as the Meopta MeoStar which is a fine scope especially for the price. That being said if you want the very best scope for digiscoping IMO you'd be hard press to find a spotter better than Kowa's 88mm scope. If you got an extra $1500 laying around then the 95mm Swaro might top the Kowa but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to tell the difference between the two when comparing the pics and video shot through the both of them. If money is an issue you might want to consider looking for a used Nikon 82mm Fieldscope. You should be able to find a used one for under $1000 if you look long enough. If money is not an issue you'd be more than happy with the results you'd get from the Kowa. This of course is just my opinion nothing more nothing less.

    Giant 5x5 bull hit dirt

    What an AWESOME bull! I'd take him over a 370 6x6 all day every day. Congrats you did good!

    2015 Off to a good start!!!!

    Fantastic bulls! Love the mass on the muzzy bull. Jody's bull appears to have good everything(mass, width, tine length and good beams). You got one heck of a wife Becker. She seems to kill huge animals year after year. Congrats Jody and Jason!
