haha didn't mean to take over the thread but i knew others had to have some wide buck pics, and JIM not only are those wide they're giants!!! care to give the inside spread on them? The buck from the aerial flight is outstanding- having seen the 21 1/2"er live and comparing the two, i'd comfortably say the buck from the flight has to be atleast 21" inside spread, glad everyone enjoys the pics and again hope more people come forward with more wide buck pics!!! DAN

Yea its pretty awesome to know that these monsters are roaming the hills! hope more people bust out with their wide coues pics cuz i expected to see a wide coues as well when i clicked. DAN

Interesting topic, i like everyone else would love to see pics just for the fact that we enjoy visuals , and for everyone elses viewing pleasure here's a buck we took on the rez that had an 18 1/2" inside spread and a 21 1/2" outside spread. Another buck... we seen this beauty on the aerial flight and i can say its the widest coues i've ever seen in my life and i'm almost certain the 21 1/2" buck would fit inside his rack! DAN

Dewey is still around, he's a busy man with work these days but still around and still just as pumped as the rest of us are about coues, his brother Jason aka "ACE" took a nice 117" buck during our Tribal deer hunt. DAN

Went out tuesday for some coues action with the bow but it was way too windy out but luckily i stumbled across this set dropped earlier this year, he's got a broken triple browtine on the right side and a broken 6th point on the left side, scores 327 without an inside spread, 22" 3rd on the right side and nearly 10" bases, i found this same bulls sheds from 2009 also, he was a baby 8x8 back then, i like the growth he's put on and still young! Thx Josh for posting the pics buddy! DAN

WHOA! thats a serious forkie! DAN

Gotta love those hooked 3rds and big tops! congrats. DAN

WOW all the way across the board! and check out the mass on that lope! DAN

haha at Ernesto, always gotta watchout when posting shots in the house, some ppl can pick a simple picture apart! lol good times

cool looking bull, good job and congrats on the archery success. DAN

nice, i popped my neck looking at the first 2 pics DAN

thanks for the comments, a great bull with family and friends says it all, i took this bull in the Ninemile Elk unit on the rez, not your typical elk habitat is exactly right, the unit is very open and has elk on literally every ridge so getting on a bull can be an extremely tough task with archery equipment, which i started out with, i hunted a total of 11 days and seen a lot of nice bulls throughout the unit, somewhere around the 5th day all the bulls decided to have a royal rumble and the next day every single bull had atleast 1 broken tine, crunch time came into play and the pressure was on. down to the last day i wanted to hunt, i packed away the bow and picked up the rifle, the next day we set out on some intense hiking and the plan was finally made and carried out with precision, ironically i shot this bull at 25-30yds! a tough pack out followed and with 3 busted tines my bull taped out at 320 1/8 inches with 10" bases, looking back on the hunt it was another great time with the crew, we seen plenty of bulls, most being in the 310-360 range, and the bugling every day during the entire hunt was music to anyone's ears, i'd like to thank my family that was there with me the whole time and a special thanks goes to my uncle Bob Stevens who owns ApacheOutdoors Guide Service, he was there with me in 2009 when i got my last elk and played a big role again on this hunt, the guy knows his stuff! thanks BOB, good times! a little side note... this "trophy" elk unit has gone downhill since the OTC any elk tag for units 28, 31, 32 opened, the days of 456, 439, 422, 414, 410, etc are over for now, bulls rarely make it past 360 with all the pressure in the area, i hope one day things get back to normal but until then we'll just have to wait.... and as one more side note, several days later on the state unit 28 draw, my uncle's client took one of the elk i hunted during my hunt, a wide/heavy busted 9x7, busted and still 9x7 lol, congrats to the hunter! DAN

Sweet 3rds! and check out the clubs on them royals too DAN

Now thats success right there! simply amazing, congrats to everybody involved. DAN
