Congratulations Josh you make our state proud. -
I have the same gun I have shot 6 or 7 coyotes and a bobcat with it. I shoot the 32 grain hornady v-max, It will leave a big hole in a coyote. It shoots very flat. Funnest gun I have.

What's your best trophy or photo?

My biggest gobbler yet. I got him 5-1-06. -
Great gun just make sure he gets a 24" barrel. I had one that had the Boss system. It shortened the barrel to about 20", I could not get the velocity the book said I should. With factroy ammo that was one of the best shooting guns I have ever had.

Favorite Mounts

Here is my elk and my pheasant also. Notice the nice red walls, that was the sacrifice I had to make to hang them in the living room. -

Thanks CHD. My next mount I hope to get is an Antelope like yours. I have a hunt in Colorado this summer. So I hope I can harvest one. -

My favorite mount by far. -
Congrats, I graduated from U of A 6 years ago. I spent most of my time out in the desert from Sassabee to Picacho. Ahhh the good old days. Good luck in the future

My biggest trophy big game animal is my coues deer. I can still picture everything. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/san_carlos_h...an_carlos_8.htm Another 12.03 lb trophy -
Tines, the Badlands 2200 is a very well built and designed pack. It has plenty of pockets and a built in pocket for a spotting scope and tripod. It does have an aluminum frame and is very comfortable even with a full load. Very balanced. This info and 50 cents will get you a cup of coffee.

Custom 7MM Dakota with a mauser action, timney trigger, Douglas barrel, 1.5lb custom stock and a burris ballistic plex 3X9. I shoot 140 grain barnes triple shocks. I have 15X45 zeiss and a 80mm swarovski ats spotting scope. Badlands 2200 pack to hold all of the crap. If I added the cost up I would probably sh%*. Oh well at least I think I need it all?

Went turkey hunting this weekend and got a nice one. Called him in spittin and drummin like crazy. He gave me a show for about 5 minutes. Shot him finally at 40 yards. He had a beard a little over 10". It was great fun.
-
I killed him in 4B around Wildcat canyon. I had Clay Goldman of Mogollon taxidermy measure his beard for me so I couldn't stretch the truth. This bird was more worked up than I have ever seen. He saw my hen decoy and was showing her everything he had. It was awesome.

347" my best guess!!!

Need Help Scoring this Carp
matthewp45 posted a topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
I got some pictures of this muley (I know this is coues but he is big) in unit 39 on water. I was wondering if I could get some guesses on the score of this guy. -
Clay Goldman in Payson with Mogollon Taxidermy is an official B&C scorer. He scores all mine.

We did find him the last few days of the archery hunt. He had does with him and was unbelieveable. We never got a shot but it was awesome to be able to stalk him. Closest we got was 85 yards. He was 4 miles from the waterhole we got the picture on. We will try again next year. I'm sure I will get pictures of him next year. It is the only waterhole for 15 miles. I will keep you posted. -
Just a few pics I have taken recently. Nothin special.

New Coues Hunting DVD
matthewp45 replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
It is a good video. The elk and coues footage is very good. The elk killed are giants. The coues sections have a few giants and some decent bucks as well. Nice kill shots and some frustrating misses. There is one sequence where I wanted to jump through the tv and grab the rifle from the guy. It is definetly worth the $. -
My dad got his first coues Sunday morning on the San Carlos. I think he put the bar to high. It will be hard to top this guy. He scored 107 2/8". He shot him with .280 @ 404 yards. He is hooked for life.
-
I load all of his bullets for him so if he missed he probably would have blamed it on me. He shoots a 140 nosler accubond with 55 grains of RL 19.
