Nice pics of the Jesus birds Amanda. Soon you will have a store like that full of CW.com stuff!

Really, really, really, really COOL STORY!! Congrats!

The economy is in the dumps,... Jobs are scarce,... Arpario is cracking down... No one wants to come here...you're good.

Two nice bucks...CONGRATS!!

Wow! Getting some good response. I KNOW Amanda appreciates all the donations thus far. Way to step up to the plate guys and gals! This is a fantastic group of people.

Ladies and Gentlemen, (long winded but please read) I had the pleasure of enjoying Amanda's company today at lunch. We spoke of things we always do...our hunts, Mexico, friends from the forums, and, of course, the website. I mentioned to her how great of a job she has done thus far in not only keeping us informed, networked, and entertained, but in establishing a culture. A "family" if you will, of dedicated sportsmen and women from all walks of life, that enjoy the outdoors and more specifically, love hunting coues deer. The website has grown substantially in the past few years and membership of the forums has expanded tremendously along with it! Amanda and the mods have done a stellar job in keeping up with the fantastic growth. We can all agree, this forum is like no other. The camaraderie and friendships found are second to none. The tips and information have helped us all in one way or another at least a time or two. The stories and pictures posted add much to the quality of our everyday lives. Why else would we log in so often? All this growth and substance comes at a price. Most of it in time, but some of it in money. Amanda has just had to purchase more computer gadgetry to hold more memory and awesomness and whatever else these computers need to keep up with the website. She has always taken these costs up on her own and would never ask for monetary donations straight up. That's why she tries to design and sell our t-shirts, sell advertising space, so on and so forth. Unfortunately, the revenue generated from these ventures has NEVER surpassed the costs of keeping the website running. So that's where we come in. With all of the members here, I'm sure we could give a very Merry Christmas present to CouesWhitetail.com and her founder. I'm talking about cash money donations to help keep this website running cool and strong. It's the least we could do right? So I'm asking you...to step up to the plate. Give back to those who have given so much. A cup of coffee at your fancy shop is what?...almost five bucks? I know this economy is tough on all of us. That just tells you how much more your website would appreciate your generosity. I'll be first with a donation of $20. Amanda, please post up how people can use Paypal? send snail mail? (like mine) Please, let's keep this going. I'm a watchin' you!

Schmalts...that's a cool vid! I imagine them guys are pretty temperamental at close range. Like Casey said, this one was a bit farther than that! I think Casey is close with guessing he was 13-15 pounds. It was "tough" to hold up for the pictures so that definitely says something. We would have gotten better pics of him but the shot "gutted" him pretty good. He should still make a good rug though. He did have a very strong smokey/muskey odor to him though. Hard to describe but it made me gag a bit when I inhaled his aromatic gift downwind at close proximity. The coyote, well "somebody" blasted its freaking head almost completely off! That's why the head is hidden behind the badger in the pic. That yote was indeed a team effort. Casey was calling and I had a coyote coming at a good pace from right to left at twenty yards. I had a small window in front of me where it would pass. It did at TEN feet! I let it pass towards Casey since he had the shotgun. Well, it must of winded him cause it stopped and headed over the ridge between us. Meanwhile there was another yote coming in towards Jake. Needless to say, He blasted him but hit her too far back. Casey went to finish her with the 12 ga and unloaded all four shells but missed pretty bad because she was gaining distance. That's when I put the bead on her and dropped her. Devastating shot with the exit wound at the face. Fun times...fun times. Thanks again Casey for the invite. We'll do it again soon.

That's a very nice mule deer! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Good bull buddy! About time you posted up! Glad you took the time to write a detailed post too. Congratulations again!

Cool! Will his wife be there?

This is such a sad deal for everyone involved. This is embarrasing to us hunters as well and definitely gives a black eye to sportsmen here in AZ. Not to mention Gov tag holders, guides, etc.

Wow. You DID find the perfect spot to set up!

Sad story to hear. Sounds like he was a great person.

ALRIGHT! Happy to see this post is getting views and more importantly daily donations! *bump for the lunchtime crew*

Wow! That lion kill IS fresh! You guys will get em in Jan!

Way to go guys! I was happy to hear Mark got a nice bull.

Looks like you did real good! Must have been kind of chilly too...and wet. Nice rifle!

Welcome!

Amanda...I just LOVE that pic! It's too funny not to share! I just found out that we can send money straight from a credit card using your yellow "donate" button. I thought I had to have a PayPal account but I didn't. COOL! Guys...You don't have to match my $20 (even though many have stepped up!) ANYTHING will help. We have over 2000 members here...it can add up quick! Thanks to all that have donated thus far. I'm keeping track of those that haven't.

Awesomeness:

Good job so far guys! We still have plenty days till Christmas so lets keep this going. I'm happy to see there are many out there that appreciate the efforts Amanda goes through. This site is done for her love of these little deer. She has a full time job and still dedicates much of her free time to this site and volunteers at endless organizations. Nice to see her passion. Let's keep it up! (nope I ain't on the payroll Casey!)

Congrats on a nice looking bull. Did you meet Jordan at the gate with Wild Mountain taxidermy? He's a stand up guy and does quality work.
