Price drop. $3,000

I looked through a pair of 12X50 EL's about a week ago on a Coues hunt and your right they are amazing! They also cost about a grand more than I want to spend right now. I think the (old) 15x56 SLC's have been selling in the $1,400 - $ 1,600 range depending on age of glass condition and seller?

TTT

A couple years back it had a small leak in one isolated spot didn't damage anything. I fixed it and hasn't had any water come in since. We just got hammered with rain and its all dry inside. Dry weight 7,400 Pounds. I've pulled it loaded down with my stock 7.3 F250 3/4 ton and it pulls nice. Aluminum frame. Hide a bed is a Queen Correction its a 26'

Day one of 2017 was a good way to kick off the year! Didn't take long after wandering around in the rain for Matt to locate a group of piggy's. He was fortunate enough to tag one, which was his first kill with a bow and his first Javelina! Pigs scattered and we got the call and the location to where they were. It didn't take long to find the stragglers hanging around and make the moves on them. Pigs running and arrows flying.......would have thought it was a scene form The Patriot. Pat smoked his while Ralf and I had a few close calls. Fast-forward about an hour and a half while getting ready to hike out with the two pigs..... I find a lone subject traversing the desert hill side and moved in for the kill. Arrow connected but the shot wasn't perfect. Things got a little western and we ended up pushing the Pig into a cave. Pig was about 6' back in the hole, a follow up shot and my smallest pig to date was down! .......... Adventurous 8 year old Hunter was the only one small enough to fit into the hole so he crawled in and pulled it out. Was glad that my son Cooper and Pats son Hunter were able to be there and witness their first action packed archery Javelina Hunt! Good Luck to everyone this January!

If I remember right we just had to challenge Hunter that he couldn't do it.........he was all over the challenge!

^^^^^^Get high and GLASS. Do you own a tripod? If not..... Get one!

Adam Read note #37 of the deer notes in the spring regs. City or town laws supersede AZGFD Laws for fire arm discharge.

Another great way to eat em is smoked! Google a good brine and soak for a half to full day in brine then smoke for a couple hours either on a charcoal smoker or gas grill with a smoke box and chips. You tube will be your best friend for ideas. Either do a sweet brine with pineapple n such or a bold one with Worcestershire and pepper! Eat hot with favorite green or cold with crackers! BUENO!

My favorite trout dish is trout Pico De Gallo for an appetizer! Wrap tout in foil small amount of oil or butter, lots of fresh ground pepper, lime slices smashed, cilantro, salt, and a little water for steam. Grill or bake till thoroughly cooked. Bone and skin should peal off easily with fork if done right. Mix meat with favorite Pico de gallo and serve hot or cold with favorite chips. Spice with salt or ground slap ya momma or lime for a little more kick. Add small chunks of avocado if desired. Promise there won't be left over if done right! Cheers!

Well James that's one heck of a debut for your guide service! Awesome bull........Congrats to Denny he looks pretty stoked. Love to hear the story!

A friend of mine killed one and took it Wild Heritage in Young and it turned out great! Looks like they are CW Sponsor. I've noticed with taxidermy you usually get what you pay for. Personally I'd rather pay a little extra for something that you get to look at forever.

Kuiu........6000 or 7200. They are worth the $$. Even better if you can buy used!

Just curious what loads and rifles all you Coues hunters are planning on using this upcoming season? I will be using my custom Remington 700 chambered in .300 win mag. Or My 22.250 Ruger American. If I do a backpack hunt.

Explorer, is this in the regs? Don't mean to hijack the OP.....I think this is an interesting debate! Didn't to mean to be so LOUD......sometimes I forget to click off the caps lock!

WE LIVE IN AMERICA AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CARRY A GUN. THIS IS THE WAY I SEE IT! SO IN AUGUST WHEN RIFLE BEAR AND ARCHERY DEER ARE BOTH OPEN IS IT WRONG TO CARRY BOTH A GUN AND A BOW?

I have a 22-250 that I really enjoy shooting its a great shooting functioning rifle. Really like the weight for how it shoots, the action is really smooth and cant beat the adjustable trigger. Mine drives tacks at 200 yards, never really tried it past 400! Having one chambered in 270 I'm sure with trigger time and a good scope one could have a pretty lethal Coues gun. Great gun for the $$. I give them 5 out of 5 stars.

CLASSIC DIY! Congrats.

dang!!!!!!!! Is that AZ public land? Amazing deer.

How about I-40! Anywhere in-between California and New Mexico....pick a section!

PM Sent!

I really like the split or kicker of the passenger side G3. I'd shoot him!

Got to love CW......... Simple questions for support on a hunt and all the questions are answered within about a day! Good luck on that hunt!

Holy G2'Z! Like those tall bucks!

"No big deal!..........Drive 8 hours...........relocate a giant 4x4 mule deer............walk up to him the next morning and smoke him!" Some guys have all the luck or skill, however you want to look at it! Good job!
