Congradulations! Very nice buck, heavy, looks like he is bladed a bit on the main beams!

I bought a new Travel Trailer in Aug and the dealer had some of those Fleetwood E2's. They are pretty slick looking! I told my wife she was lucky she came out with me or I would have came home with one of those. I had even seen pics on the Fleetwood web site but they are much cooler in person. Redman, If they were the same price I would go for the E2.

So Bret if you missed that 80 incher that means he must have been way too close..............right ? Never heard of you missing much of anything.

Great looking deer! Looks like you had some fun and you spent the time with family. Congradulations!!

Humm, first off let me welcome you to a great site with greater people. If you are just starting off to the world of hunting I would recommend that you really get out to the range and shoot, shoot and then shoot some more. Get you rifle sighted in, get comfortable with you rifle. You might not have enough time to find the load your rifle likes(gives the best group). Keep you shots at nice and short ranges and really any soft tip ammo like Remington Cor-locks or Winchester Super X's will be fine. Weight wise look to the 150 to 165grn. Remember your rifle can shoot alot farther than you can and more accuratly than you can. Not putting you down it is just the lack of practice. Some guys here can hit softball sized taget at some serious ranges, I am NOT one of them. Set some limitations for your self like how far of a shot and the deers position. Stick to them, because we owe these great deer we love to hunt at least that much. Wounding a deer is an ugly thing.

CHD, Como te gusta el pedo! Some of us feel very comfortable here. If you don't .................sorry. I have always liked your Pics and was even enlightened from time to time when you talk hunting. I can assure you that if you only talked hunting, which is why we come here, "you would not get harassed."

That is cool. It is great to see the youngsters out in the field. There is no better place for them except maybe school. Congrats!

Normally there are are 6-8 hunting, all family. We draw together about 80% of the time which is nice. My uncle will head down to camp one full week before the hunt in his travel trailer. Hunting is his yearly vacation. I normally arrive Wed night and put my tent right next to his trailer. This year is a bit different. Only my uncle and myself drew Bull muzzy tags this year. His is heading up to our camp area 9 days before the hunt. I bought a new travel trailer in Aug, about one month after the draw result came out , for this hunt. We took it up for the first try out on the 14th and I was up there last weekend too. We still will be up on the Wed before the hunt but my trailer is already up in storage at the Happy Jack lodge! I will miss camping in a tent........................but not that much .

I will take it! I will send you a PM.

It has been said more than a few times but in the last few years I have been seeing more and more Coues in the flats especially in 36C. Like 2-3 miles away from anything resembleing a hill let alone a mountain. I have noticed this during the off season so it is not because of pressure. I have'nt had a 36C Coues tag in more than a few years.

I have always said that good thing happen when you take a day off from work to go hunting. With a bear rifle like that you really had no choice but to go hunting! Congradulations, I third the excellent coat!

Have fun ,be safe and god bless!

UPS just dropped off a package from Columbia. They are ANOTHER pair of the Diamond Peak boots. Not to bad at all, this make my second warrentied pair. Not too bad at all! Great quality, EXCELLENT warranty, a dream to break in. I an one happy camper .

I too finally saw my first cwt.com sticker on Friday on hwy 87 about 10-15 miles south of Rye. It was a F-250 dark blue in a big hurry. I was on my way up to 6A on a scout/camping trip.

Here's to you on you special day!! Happy Birthday!!!

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your friend but am glad to hear that he is OK. Another lesson on being careful: I have a friend in Sonora who is a avid shooter in the .22 rifle competitions. He does hunt deer with a 300WSM but 99.9% of his shooting is the .22lr. While he was at the range during one of his regular practice sessons fellow club member asked him to take a look at an old .22 pistol that they could not figure out. After a bit of cleaning and checking the pistol out they fired a few rounds and the pistol quickly jammed. It did not feed correctly. He put the safty and while he was trying to clear the jam without the finger on the trigger the safty failed the slide slammed forward and fired.................. Right in the palm of his hand . He is ok but having trouble with his hand movment still after 6+ months. Maybe we can learn or remind our selfs about gun safty. Part of the laundry list of mistakes he made, feel free to jump in here. TRUSTING A SAFTY! TOUCHING A GUN HE DID NOT KNOW(he had never seen that model of pistol before) TOUCHING A GUN WHO HAD NOT SEEN A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH, EVER. TOUCHING A GUN THAT HAD NOT SEEN A CLEANING KIT, EVER. PUTTING ANY PART OF HIS BODY IN FRONT OF THE MUZZEL. TRUSTING A SAFTY!

Now that is how it is done! 3 for 3 on some incredable animals. Now it is time for a bigger freezer, another GOOD problem to have.

Limp bizkit, THATS WHAT I THOUGHT AT FIRST TOO!

So is it a safe to say that it is illegal to harvest a piebald or albino buck is what ever state this buck lives in? I can't imagine a buck or doe make it to this age and still being alive. He might a well have a flo orange coat on. Come to think about it it would be perfect camo in the snow but other wise........ I have heard that some folks say they would not harvest a buck like this. If it were legal I definatly would in a heart beat!

I was suprised some one here had not reminded us. I for one really enjoy getting out to the hills again. It gives me a chance to shoot at a Javie while I am chasing deer with the bow. My wife does the rifle hunt so that is another chance to be out. I love it.

Woohoo!!! I have to say that the only thing missing is the close up of your face at the very end when you stand up! I would pay money to see that!!!!! I bet it was PRICELESS !

Very cool, I dig the music as well. Who is it? I can't place it.

Yup, I am one of the procrastinators. I just happen to check the azgfd.com web site for my wife's fishing trips to one of the local urban lakes and I saw the two Javies on the opening page. we finally got every thing in and handed in the apps at 6:30pm. I was close!

VERY COOL Coues Fan, VERY COOL!! Watching it in video form has much more of an impact. I could even hear the bow shot. Again, You guys make it look easy. I only wish it would be a tiny bit on the easy side for my upcoming bull tag. Thanks for posting!

I had a shaddy experience with thouse guys. I didn't get burned but they tried to hit me up for an extra $50 on an order I already placed. I fell bad for your buddy. He should really do something about it! Just think about how much money they make off of customers who don't want to deal with the BS.
