  5. I built a 6.5 Grendel earlier this year. I absolutly love it. I have only shot coyotes with it so far. I think I still prefer my 300 RUM bolt gun for coues hunting but I know the 6.5 would have no problem! Good luck with your build.

    GJMauro12, I think this is the same bull. I have a bunch of bulls on that camera, hard to tell.
  11. My brother and I has spent the last few years hunting 22 with much success, so we were excited to find out we drew tags again this year. Our excitement slowed when we found our favorite honey hole would not be able to be accessed easily do to the road closures from the Sunflower fire over the summer. My brother and I living pretty busy lives, with conflicting schedules, gave us limited time to scout (only two days before the hunt). We headed out to find a new spot two weeks before the hunt. We were lucky, it had rained a few days prior, and while heading up a new road, we stopped to stretch out the legs in a random spot where there was a puddle in the dirt. To our amaze we looked down to see Coues sign galore! We knew this would be our area. Not wanting to give up hope on our old spot we planned to hike up a canyon from the 87 on opening morning to see if we would get lucky and then spent the rest of the hunt in our new spot. Opening morning, we left my truck from the highway at 0330, and spent two and a half hours hiking in the dark to our "original honey hole". Arriving at our final spot after hiking on the top of a knob, sweating like crazy we were encountered by crazy wind, and spent the first hour freezing from the wet and wind. (We're cold wimps from the valley). We spent the whole day glassing, sunrise to sunset, without seeing a thing, hiking back down the canyon again in the dark empty handed. We did get to see a Ringtailed cat in the canyon, which I've never seen before so, the five hours of hiking did have a plus! We now knew we would spend the rest of the time in our new discovered spot, hoping it would be productive. Day two morning we woke up early to a hour quad ride from our camp to our spot. Again spending all day glassing, finally started seeing activity in the bowl around 1530. All does until about an hour before sunset and finally saw this guy! Waited patiently for a ethical shot for about 15 minutes and BOOM, fired a round and he went down about 10 yards from the shot. 358 yards. By the time we got to him the sun was setting. We had seen another buck with this guy that looked interesting but he didn't make much of an appearance for my brother so we knew we would be back on day three. We ran to Payson Day three morning to drop of my deer for processing, returned to camp had lunch, and headed back up the mountain to find my brothers buck. Arriving about 1300, we hiked back to our vantage point from the day before and just like the previous day. Again the mountain came alive with does in the mid afternoon, then around 1600 the other buck from the previous day made an appearance. My brother made a shot, 319 yards as I watched through my Kiabab 15's. He missed just high and the buck tucked behind a bush. I kept my eye on him for over 30 minutes only seeing his rack turn occasionally through the leaves and finally he came back out. My bother fired his second shot, I could see the shock wave though his chest, and he dropped right there. Again a hike across the bowl and there he lay.MY BROTHERS FIRST COUES!!!!!!!!!!! Great weekend! , there is so many great thing about Coues hunting I could write forever, but you guys already know why it's so great! We made it home safe, and my daughters (future outdoors women) could not get over that we brought home two deer! My younger daughter calls everything with horns Elk, we couldnt stop laughing at that. "Nice elk dad". As usual meet some great people on the mountain. One gentleman was nice enough to provide us with pictures of these deer alive, from a week before. He happened to be hunting a half mile from us and didn't even know it. (Thanks Paul!)

  13. Hey guys! I'm making a post for my folks and will add some pics in the morning. Two 2005 Polaris Sportsman quads with heavy duty 14" single axle trailer with loading rear gate. Both quads have been constantly maintained, new drive belts, new tires on everything only 1700 miles. My brother and I have used these for hunting and pulled a lot of coues off the mountain with these. They are stored at my house in Litchfield park, close to the wildlife zoo. They are asking $8000 for the whole package. They both have lockable hunting boxes on the back and spare tires for both the quads and trailer. Shoot me a PM or text if you want to stop by and take a look and ride. 602-821-8413 Thanks, Evan
  14. My folks are looking to buy a side by side of some sort, hopefully they will be gracious enough to let us use it for hunting as they have with the quads. Thanks Viper!
  15. Also, Street legal, plates and OHV tags, clean tiles.
