congradulations, Becker that buck is an awesome representation of a coues.

Pro Style Casey!

Ok guys and Gals im gonna throw this out to see the replys. I know my answer allready how hard are you gonna scout for a december tag? Go out from time to time or check whos looking at your big bucks on every hunt?

i too fall into this category i need boots in the worst way.I have looked at the lowas here at gila outdoor and they are nice a friend of mine has meindls its a toss up for me.

Heys thanks for the cool responses,I was fortunate enough to draw a december tag and know the unit very well. This will be my first late season tag Since it was a multi unit tag and they couldnt give them away. I have five sons so we try to get two tags per hunt that way we are not trying to find six coues at a time ,i have a tough time finding one.so usually i am out there from october through december.I usually start glassing at the end of august and go out when time and money permit,even though Ihave a deceber tag I am not going to change anything.

well coach i was was trying to start a small debate no advice. iwas wondering how many people will still be out every weekend till december hunt opens or if they wil just go out from time to time. due to the other hunts taking place prior to the december hunt

Hey 112 what price range are you thinking. I have the 15s and love them

Garret this is matts dad i will reply,29 is a tough hunt. lots of private land. quite a few people around here hunt there or used to come by our house we can talk a little more .

Guys this really sucks.I went with tbolt to check his camera,fell got winded, when we finally got there he asked me if I thought any one would mess with them (I SAID no WAy) I feel like crap as well.

Bad to the bone jerry

thank tou for the infomtion BLAKE,I was loking back on savages site and saw the rifle i was talking about its a 110 predator hunter max. I dont think my boy needs an adjustible cheek piece or a muzzle brake. I do like the look and features of both rifles and will probabely ask more in the future.

Hey, has anyone heard or tried the new savage 10 in 6.5 284 im looking for my 15 year old he has used my 270. ithink this would be a great base for a medium range maybe more coues gun.

thank you young buck i appriaciate our input and respect your knowledge. I think this year for myself im going to try my 7mm ackley on a mauser action if i can get it scoped my dad built it, and was excited about the caliber we didnt get to use it before he passed.but for the boy im leaning on that rifle i dont think i could do beeter for the price

congradulations 105

Casey congrats Iwish I had a dollar for every mis judged buck I have seen. heck I have even seen a 180 class buck The taxidermist can fix him good as new at least you can shoot I get buck fever and miss.

congradulations Kevin thats a beutiful deer.

Hey Guys and Gals, This is my 16 year old son's very first deer. It was one of my proudest moments as a father. He spotted this buck at 11:30am, it was a scorcher out there. Come to find out, there were actually 2 bucks, they looked like a set of twins. My son made an excellent stalk, got within 400 yards and set up and took his shot at the bigger of the two bucks. The first shot dropped him in his tracks, one more shot for the kill. There was NO ground shrinkage, , the closer we got, the bigger the antlers got!! I was so excited for my son that I almost threw up. The buck was scored at 104 inches. This is the 1st deer we have harvested as a family since my father passed away in 06. The tradition was passed on to the 3rd generation. Hope you like pics, Keith V

Thanks again everyone for the nice comments, hunting these grey ghosts for our family is a passion. I appreciate all the feed back from everyone. Ryan thanks for being so cool to the boys they enjoyed talking to you. we also enjoyed the pics. Bryant told me he had talked to you the first weekend. he hunted with his step dad which of course was rough for me especially when carl got his there were two almost identical bucks..

Congradulations that is really cool I know for a fact youll never forget that day.

no on the last saturday we found a really nice buck my 17 year old got the same fever his dad gets and missed five shots

great job real nice buck 2for 2 is hard to beat.

man becker thats a monster congrats to you and mom

thanks everyone for the replys Im really proud of my boys they did awesome out there. most of the time they were dragging dad up the hills me being two pounds overweight and all sorry it took so long to reply back. we still have one tag to try and fill for my older son bryant with his work and school schedule he has had heck getting out. HEY JEFF hows it going congrats on the little cochran couesman. Carl asked if I thought if his buck was bigger than mine I just smiled and said we will see after we get Danny C. to measure him up. and of course its the hill that you can see from my house Josh im looking at the paper that we have the the inside measurement was 16.7 I think but dont quote me yet I will ask my son because there are measurments all over this paper.

Hey Jeff I had to get back online I was thinking about what you said I aint the main man those Howard boys are making a pretty dang good haul I havent scored since 03 you know that. deer tag stew starting to get old and talking about the one that got away aint cuttin it I know youve already heard allmy stories . besides that you cochrans have brought a few more deer home the last few years all three .

Scott I tried to catch you on line but im Pretty much computer illeterate I really appreciate the posts and pictures on your hunts i called mace the other day to see how you did the pictures I will give it a try so i can take some cool photos of these awesome deer. thanks Keith V safford
