i have a buck that i know for a fact is 8 or 9 years old (i have 5 years of pics of him) and he is just barely starting to branch out. he's usually a 105" type deer. maybe he's starting to digress? saw a good muley this weekend (he'll probably finish 160-170" class) that had a LOT of growth. probably only a couple weeks left. just scratching my head on the coues this year. these are spots where i have run cameras 365 days a year for a long time so i have a lot of history with deer in the area

this is the kind of stuff i'm dealing with. a lot of bucks that look just like this. this pic was taken last week

sitting is a lot of fun when you get used to it. you see and hear a lot of things you would normally miss. i lizard running on some dry leaves will make your heart skip about 10 beats. last year i had a BIG flock of turkeys that were actually scratching my blind when i was in it. their toes were poking inside the blind. watched a doe whip a coyote last year too. neat stuff

take the kid on a deer hunt. anyone that disagrees is bogus. time outdoors with a tag in hand beats the heII out of sitting on the couch

it takes a lot of time, but you can pattern deer pretty well with trail cameras and kind of narrow it down the the times they hit certain spots the most. it seems to me that about 8:00-noon is the peak times on my salt licks. i also do sit all day though because i'm afraid of missing something and BIG bucks are really hard to pattern and might show up 3 days in a row at the same time, then not show up for a week. smaller bucks get pretty consistent. i sat 3 full days with a buddy in a blind last year and saw bucks every day. he missed one the first day, killed one the 2nd and i passed on one the 3rd day. patience and persistence are the keys to being successful in a blind or treestand. i prefer to get a good book and catch up on some reading because i am afraid i won't hear them coming in if i have earbuds in. staying awake in the blind is the hardest thing for me and it seems like i nap for about 5 minutes at a time throughout the day.

i think it's Ryan Fitzpatrick. He has a lot of free time to be out wandering around in the woods these days

you will have more opportunities glassing, but sitting in a blind you will have much higher quality opportunities. you might make 5 stalks a day and for a week and not kill a deer, but i have never sat a blind and had a deer hit the salt or water i was sitting that i couldn't kill.

i have the same pair and regularly range 1300 yards with them

NOt very often you get two really nice bucks going at it on camera good muley i've watched over the years. his biggest year he was probably 180" and he's dropped all the way down to a 140" type 3 point. this was his first year of decline been watching the one on the left for 4 years now. he's gone nocturnal. always been a 90-105" buck. these are actually the same two bucks from the top pic. the have been inseparable for years now. never see one without the other

Just fyi, these go for 11-1300 on here usually. You're priced really high is probably why the lack of interest

The most sure fire way to see sheep is driving through morenci

With modern machinery, a lot of factory rifles shoot as good or better than 5k customs. Love when my stock savage .338 lapua outshoots 5k+ customs. Here is a 200 yard group out of it. .48", that's 1/4 MOA!

Poor sucker

here is that muley on a bigger year. he busted off his left mainbeam right after the G4

check your settings on the left

no, not even close to accurate. i have priced it before and it seems like it was $100 bucks or so.

no, do not attempt the formaldehyde technique. keep the antlers cold until he can get them in a freezer or to the taxidermist. if you have to split the skull plate to fit the antlers into your ice chest or freezer, it'll have to be done. way too many horror stories using any other method. i have freeze dried a half dozen or so on my own. leave them in the freezer for a year works great

order some Phelps game calls much higher quality than Primos. You could buy 10 of the same diaphragm from most other brands, including primos, and 1 or 2 might actually sound right and alike.

what he said ^. from previous conversations i've had with you, the elevations you're going to be hunting are probably 5-7,000 feet. take an hour or so when you get there and shoot. you will probably need to tweak your site a little bit.

bump it up. it's going to craigslist here in a couple days

This one might get me some guff out of some guys but it's a calculated gripe. 47 out of 117 max point holders alone applied for 22 last year. if those same 47 guys and only them keep applying for 22 every year, it will take around 10-16 years (depending on if the tag number stays at 2 or goes back up to 4) for just the max point holders to clear out of that unit. Add in the 24's and around 80 max holders will most likely be applying for 6 tags this year. the top end has been shot out of those units and they are killing bigger rams elsewhere that these max point holders could be guaranteed to draw. If the max holders would start spreading out a little bit it would really help a lot of the guys with say 25 and 26 BP's that at this rate my never draw a sheep tag. I know the point creep will never stop, and I personally never anticipate drawing a sheep tag but it sure would be nice to see some other guys have a good chance while they can still walk. To each their own i guess and I can't hate on a guy that only wants to hunt where he wants to hunt, but if some guys did a little more research it would sure help them, and a lot of good guys under them in BP's.

Are those the HD models?

I've got a rack i'm looking at right now in my living room with 48" mainbeams that scores over 390"....mainbeams isn't the only thing that gets inches

Lol....maybe you should get an account on monstermuleys
