Go get em!

Awesome buck. Congrats!

Good call. Scoop it up.

You really need a 4th quarter bore?

Find it?

How far?

Bummer you weren’t able to pull it off. I have had good luck reaching out to landowners ahead of time, hopefully that works out for you. Another tip I like is to hunt a week or two after the opener. The pressure drops dramatically when you go later in the season. Congrats on great memories made with your boy and a new experience for both of you.

Congrats on a job well done!

Apparently the OP does.

I know a few people with several 150” bucks they think are 180.

But probably over a hundred 170 bucks taken this year in the west.

The chart begins at zero, so the number of bonus points does not include the application. An application with 0 points is counted in the zero pool and each pool only reflects the additional opportunity afforded by the accumulated points.

Mule deer in October > Coues in October Archery Mule deer in January < Archery Coues in January Killing a big desert muley outside of the rut is one of the hardest things to do in western hunting. Back to the question… I’d shoot the coues.

No one mistakes me for a slayer of anything except cookies, but… Rutting muleys aren’t that tough to find, although they are hard to kill with a bow. That being said, I’d say more muleys are killed in December/January than coues, and especially big bucks. Archery hunting coues over water in August, totally different story. But if they offered December mule deer tags in the quantity that they do coues, there wouldn’t be any mature bucks left.

We camped right where the 22 Road turns from pavement to gravel. There is cell service there and we could hotspot so the kids could do school work at night. When there was fresh snow we were in a spot where we could get out easily if needed. We typically drove 30 minutes to our hunting spots in the morning. It’s nice to be able to get up and hunt right from camp, but knowing we wouldn’t be stuck provided a lot of peace of mind.

Real things being discussed at the diner counter in JL right now (tomorrow is the last day of the 12AE muzzy hunt): - How over-hyped the Kaibab has gotten - Kuiu vs Sitka - Which road to drive in the morning - Why the guy across from us bailed on his NM 16 bull hunt after 2 days because it was “terrible” - How life changing it was once his wife started applying for hunts also - Whether they should have killed the forky they saw opening day - GoHunt insider - How “name your favorite discount brand” is basically the same as Swarovski without the cost - A slew of reasons one hunter shot a 20” 3 pt

It’s ok as long as you are comfortable leaving it till spring if you get a big snow dump

We’re thinking about it plenty as we plan funeral services for my unvaccinated aunt. 🤦‍♂️

Holy shoot that’s Ernie Harrold! Mr slow, sloppy and expensive himself. He was my first boss and introduced me to the trades. Awesome dude! Tell E congrats!

I haven’t heard anymore. I didn’t see any protesters (or bison) when I drove through two weeks ago.

This is like asking which truck is better… Toyota Tacoma or F350

Thanks for sharing. Looks like lots of memories for you two this year, congratulations. My son has a condition that causes foot drop and atrophy in his extremities. With the help of a couple of trekking poles and three reconstructive surgeries he still gets after it.

All leftovers have been issued to Randy Newburg.

Usually a Ford, Chevy or Dodge product

I need better sons.
