Have you ever missed a shot because of a steep angle?
Vbraley replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in Contests and Giveaways!
This year was going to be "The Year" to get some payback after last years fiasco that landed me in the hospital after rolling my 4 wheeler only a few hours in opening day. I drew the same tag and on one day glassed up a dream buck at about 0830, hiked up to and around the backside of the mountain we last saw him and found him bedded about 1pm. Set up for the shot, 368 yards, extreme downhill which I have never had experience with before, squeezed and missed? he was northbounnd at mach 6. Five Days later same mountainside, same buck, we watched him go around the mountain and found him bedded within feet of the same place. Setup for the shot which would be within feet of where I missed him before, this time 375 yard extreme downhill again, missed! Watched him walk then bed again. two more shots and 2 more misses, been out everyday since and can't relocate him. The buck of a lifetime gone due to extreme angle shots and not being familiar with how the bullets carry at those angles. -
How about some build specs such as components used to complete the projects. I want to have one built that will serve as a hunting rifle without the Tactical look.

Awesome footage! Awesome shot! Awesome Bull! "Shoot Him Again", "Shoot Him Again", That's what I was saying, sitting on the edge of my seat.

Awesome video, awesome shot, awesome buck! Man the stars aligned for you no doubt! -
After 14 years of Unit 1 as a first choice finally drew the tag also. As far as the Rage Broadheads, saw them in action last year and was sick with their performance on angled shots and rib hits. Magnus Snuffer SS 100Gr out of my Reezen shooting 293fps. Shoot like darts to 40yds! That's all I need.

First time in 33, is there lots of traffic on the Redington rd? Looking at Davis mesa and Edgar canyon area. Don't have an atv, will hiking do from where I might be able to get to the furthest place on Fr 802? Any good suggestions?

What caliber do you use and why?
Vbraley replied to stalkincoues's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
I shoot a 30 year old Winchester Model 70, Trigger set @ 3lbs, Bell and Carlson stock, Leuopold 4x9 scope, My buddy loads a 165 Accubond for me. Haven't used the 165's on Coues yet but took a few loaded with a 150 gr. Nosler ballistic tip. I am trying to get an "all-around" load because I would like to pass this gun on to my son, then purchase possibly a Kimber Montana or a Browning Rifle, I have been debating on the caliber, but either 7MM WSM or 300 WSM? -
Fire Burning in unit #32 ???
Vbraley replied to BACKCOUNTRY's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Where can I get the most reliable info on this fire? Thanks, V.B. -
Looks like YLE is no secret either, I was in there yesterday, finally found my way past the ranch and made it to YLE Tank. There were 2 camps set up near the end of the road which is right on the ridgeline just above the tank? Looks good, hopefully the confusion at the ranch will keep at least 50% of the road hunters looking for something else?

My son and I drew a Unit 32 W/T hunt. My problem is he plays football and if I'm lucky, because of school and football he might be able to hunt about 1 day and 1/2, opening weekend. We are familiar with the Bunker Hill/Mercer Rd and Copper creek rd, travel time is no factor as long as he can hunt all day sunday opening weekend. We aren't expecting anything big but for his first Coues rifle hunt I need to find and area with population so he may have some opportunities on something with horns. Mercer's roster is full so that leaves us going elsewhere. If you can help, thanks.

Haven't been there in years but Boss Ranch road just further NE from Douglas use to have a decent number of whities..........Are there access issues now?
-
I was reading thru the replys and I have no Idea where 1998 came from.?( must have been a typo?) My first experience with Big Lake and Unit 1 was back in 1990. I remember being able to call in Bulls with a Paper towel holder as a bugle and Huge Brook trout cast after cast with the fly rod. This is My Heaven, I have told my wife that my funeral WILL be held at the intersection of the FR 409 and the "little" road that veers south to the road that goes to Crescent and Big Lake. There has been no place on Earth that has impacted me, like this place, Unit 1................

Found it on the map, I was just one canyon north of there scoutin' last year then my Grandfather passed away, we didn't get to hunt. My son and I had December tags. Anyway are there issues with access do you know? I am going to plan on going down there in the AM (9/28) and try to get to the foot of the Mtns. Thanks, Vince B. I was in there last year and didn't have any access problems. The road into the canyon is just north of the San Pedro...there was a sign in box there. Cool, I've been looking at my Topo program and I see where there are 2 ways to get there. Didn't make it this last weekend, but it definately has my curiousity up. thanks.......

I am pretty sure that in N.M. the horns CANNOT be attatched to a skull to be able to walk off with them.

Hey AZryan, Take off your shoes and throw on some double socks and chase/loop the bulls, it doesn't matter what they sound like! Your quad excuse is lame. If Quads are spoiling your hunt, you are hunting too close to my road. This is the reality of hunting in Az these days. "If your hunt is spoiled by the sound of motor vehicles", YOU are hunting too close to the road!
