Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you get 5 or 6 bonus inches when the beams touch or cross like that.

DANG!!! You used up over a years worth of good luck in under 24 hrs. That buck is insane!

Hot n dry where I'm hunting but that's pretty much the norm for the Oct hunt. What I've noticed though is the lack of grass. I've been hunting this area for about 15 years now and I don't think I can remember a year with as bad grass growth as this year. Hunts been ok but antler growth looks to be below average where I'm at but I haven't seen enough bucks to know for sure. These are two of the 3 biggest we've seen so far. Found them this morning. They we're bedded by 8:30 and didn't get up until sundown. 20220726_071927_3_1.mp4

I'll take them. Sending PM.

I would buy it if I had time to drive up and get it. Might have to make it a family trip and go get if if it doesn't sell soon.

I got a hit for archery bull this morning and just got a hit for a youth elk tag sometime after 4pm. There's still hope.

New record Coues ?? Does anyone have the scoop?
OpticNerd replied to no worries's topic in The Campfire
I can't even imagine seeing a buck like that let alone shooting one. Would love to hear how everything went down. -
That's some great footage. How close was he?

OpticNerd replied to lionhunter's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Wow! That's an impressive season. You n your crew did an awesome job putting down some great bucks. That 115 is freaking sweet! Congrats and thanks for sharing! You happen to have a pic of your target buck's shed? -
That bottom buck is a purdy nice 11 pointer.

Deleted my comment. It didn't have much to do with the topic. I apologize 😔.

Heck yeah great stuff! Those are some very nice bucks and some tough kids. Looks like you've raised those boys to be some great hunters. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Congrats that's awesome! Hats off to all you successful late elk tag hunters. Sounds like these hunts can be tough.
-
Now there's something you don't see every day. Too cool congrats!
-
Great work all around! Congrats to all especially your son. What can I say I love seeing kids out hunting. Sounds like your boy had a great hunt. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
-
Awesome! Congrats young lady! Some of my favorite hunts have been with my daughters. Good luck on all your future hunts and thanks for sharing.
-
Sounds like you had a good hunt. Congrats on punchin the tag. You and I have a different definition of a chip shot🤣🤣🤣 Anything over 300 I'm normally thinking "heck yeah great shot Tex!"
-
Sounds like a tough but rewarding hunt congrats. Last day bucks are the best especially when it's a good looking buck like this one. Makes me wonder what your target buck looked like.
-
Congratulations on getting his first bull! That video was pretty dang awesome!

I wanted to share something I thought some of you might find this interesting. Check out the cool color differences between these two bucks. The main difference that immediately stood out to me was the difference in velvet color then after watching the video a bit more I noticed the color differences in their fur as well. One buck is mostly grey while the other has quite a bit more color to him. He's got a reddish orange color on the back of his legs, tail and armpits. I never gave much thought to velvet color before but I must say I'm quite intrigued now after seeing this. I did a quick Google search but couldn't find anything on a bucks velvet color. I wonder if there's a correlation between velvet color and the color of a bucks fur? What have you guys noticed? Is this just a coincident?

OpticNerd replied to Dodgerboy999's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer
Dang man that's a stud!!! Buck fever would of had me shaking all over the place if I was drawn on a buck like that. I would have missed at 20 let alone 65. You did good. Real good! Congrats! You've inspired me to get out and find a biggun for myself. Thanks for sharing!!!
