Watch camo fire. They have been selling 8x42 Minox for 249. Best bino in that price range by a long shot.

Enjoy it. I have pushed too hard too many times and consequently haven't spent any time in the field with my dad or brother for 3 years. I wanted so badly to be successful I forgot what success was. Won't make that's stake with my kids. Congrats on a successful trip.

Congrats on a great accomplishment. Very cool looking deer.

January is the dead heat of the rut there. Deer get pretty dispersed just due to the rut. They move a lot and should be pretty visible but will be tough to pattern. Deer don't really migrate from there but if there is a lot of snow they might move out of the pines.

Totally awesome. Also a goal of mine, congrats!

Holy cow! That deer is a beast. Good work man. And I for one was kind of happy to hear about a deer that was killed at less than 500 yds. Congratulations on 2 deer of a lifetime!

Way to recover John. We have all put our foot in our mouth a time or two. Hope the scope sells.

Ooh seeing those field pictures had to sting a little. There was a particular buck I had my heart set on once and I never found him. Every time I see a pic from that unit now my heart stops for a second. Congrats on some great finds and good luck on finding another beast.

DC outfitters does a bunch of mule back hunts in there every year. I would check with the sponsors on this site for sure. Lots of good outfitters.

Put him on the ground and I will be happy to.

I don't even see this as questionable. I have seen a few coues die at the hands of a 22-250. And even one with a .22 mag. I have also killed 4 elk with a .270 without the slightest amount of trouble. Just because everyone likes to pack around a cannon doesn't mean it's necessary.

Impressive performance today by the kitties against the feared Cal Bears. They will be knocking on the door of the top 100 after that achievement.

I love everything but the hat. Congratulations!

I would blame it on the wolves!

+1 Coach. Growing up I thought my dad loved hunting as much as I did. Turns out he just loved me.

Easy big fella, no need to jump to any conclusions. Check out this thread with recent posts and it will be clear why I asked you if it was yours: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/36516-hornady-superformance-powder-for-270-win/ You youngsters, always worried about someone challenging your honor or something.

I go back and forth. Usually I end up hiking more and sleeping less. Those long hikes in the dark really start to wear on your psyche after a while though. As a kid I remember road hunting a lot, what happened to those days?

So is scoutpylot your other profile?

Hmmm can anyone pick the engineer out of this group? Good info thanks for sharing.

Yeah what Coach said . . .

Awesome buck. Congrats.

Nice work Jim! That thing is incredible thanks for sharing with us weekend warriors.

One of my favorite ways to shoot quail as a kid was to sandblast them with a 9mm round in the gravel about a foot short of them. I have been trying to arrow one the last couple of years. Neither of those methods are effective on flying quail.
