Thank You all so much for your congratulatory messages! My phone and email have been blowing up and I'm still riding in the clouds! I've updated the initial post to include the story.

Nice shooting Noah! You reloaded your cartridges and everything? WOW! Congratulations, I look forward to reading about your future successes.

Congratulations to your Sydney!!! (she is ADORABLE) I loved the story of her taking her first deer. You did great writing about her excitement! (the video was great and I'm sure you watch it over and over!) YOU GO GIRL!!

Congrats! Looks like one heck of a trip. (short but sweet)

Congratulations! Loved the footage. Great editing.

That's awesome. What an adventure and you got to share it with them. They seem like really great guys.

Congratulations on your success! Amanda read my mind...I too love the pic with the kiddos!! Way to get it done on your last day.

Congrats to your oldest! Looks like your youngest is ready to roll when his time comes!

Congratulations to you and your son! Great first Coues buck.

Video is up on the original post! *bump

Way to go Nicholas!!! You guys are sure bringing them in year after year! Kudos to you Stan for always taking the kids out. I'm not sure if they qualify as kids anymore. That can also be a good thing as they'll pack out more meat! Congratulations!

Great bull and siper footage. I bet the hunter watches it over and over. Super sweet!

Oh yeah, nice looking rifle!

It looks like you need to chrono your load to determine its velocity. Then you can enter that into the program and get a more accurate drop chart. Even then, you need to verify the clicks by shooting at those distances and adjusting accordingly. The velocity listed for a particular load may not be true to your rifle, taking barrel length etc into consideration. Factory ammo also doesn't have the best consistency either, so consider this when shooting for groups.

Score doesn't matter on a ram that looks as spectacular as that! Magnificent ram your Dad killed. A true beauty.

I attended the Annual Ram Recognition Banquet this past Saturday held by the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society. It was a great time reliving last years sheep hunting season and seeing some phenomenal trophies and mounts. The Sheep Society awarded their Presidents Award last night to the late Jim White. He was a friend of the forum and to many conservation groups. Always donating to the cause and as helpful a person as anyone could be. For those that don't know, Jim White was the founder and maker of his tripod head, among other innovative glassing tools that we all now use. In my opinion, my Jim White tripod head is the best I could have ever purchased. I bought it straight from him and have glassed up thousands of animals with it. Thank You Jim. I thought it was very fitting for the AZDBSS to award Jim White. They are a class act and those guys have my utmost respect. It was good to remember Jim in that way the other night. May he rest in peace and his legacy live on.

Happy Birthday Bill!! Enjoy your day.

Those are three great people you named. Any friend of theirs is top notch in my book! Happy Birthday to you as well. Enjoy your tacos. (I love the braised beef tacos at joyride!)

Love that place! Enjoy and Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks a ton everyone! Busy at work today but things will be way better by the end of the week! It's been a good day. I've been blessed with great family and friends. I look forward to this coming year.

Congrats! Nice picture set up too.

Holy Smokes! The front end of that bull is super nice! Congrats on a stud bull!

Congratulations! Your smile says it all.

Woohoo! Way to go my friend! I'm so happy you got it done! In a BIG way too!!!

Congrats! I agree with Phil, that is one hard tracking job.
