Coues 'n' Sheep

The chair was a product of two things.... tall grass & brush on the hillside and how close the truck was parked to the location he was set up... It was easier to pull out the chair than to muck out the grass and brush. It made for a very compfortable and relaxed kid, too! Thanks everyone for the responses! I know the Boys & Dads will read them. (Ya know how those Lurkers are.... ) Everyone had a great weekend! I am sure that we all wanted in our hearts to ground check a Monster.... but instead we had a Monster Weekend of success with all the boys and everyone went home happy with deer in hand! The hunting with youths need only be as hard as it takes to be successful.... if you do not make it fun/enjoyable for them... they lose interest. We built toward the future with these boys, hoping to make them hungry for a Bigger and Harder hunt next time. My nephew (Clayton) will be back behind The Tradition for a late bull tag at the end of Nov.... and let me tell you.... He is Hungry!!! Now, if we could just get a another Dad on this site to hurry up and post pics and a story of his son's Junior's Hunt.....Not that I would mention any names...... Mike! That is how Zip got bloody three times in three days! Jade, I did not get "Zip" from that movie.... actually, never watch it.. Another guy asked me the same thing last week.... I had no clue. I actually call him "Zipper" most of the time..... but if you were to see how his 10 wk old legs carry him around, the name "Zip" makes perfect sense!

Welcome! Nice bucks!! Thanks for sharing!!

Nice side rack!!

Congrats to you and your Boy, Jason!!! Gotta love it, when a plan comes together!!

Along the same lines.... I have a question..... Does Leica make a 10x50 rangefinding bino and are they tilt compensating???? Something like that is exactly what I am looking for for deer hunting! Thanks!

Way to go!! Nice Buck!!

That is a great deer!!! Congrats!

Outstanding!!!! Congrats!!

I am guessing they were hunting Bear as it was the only other thing open. Good luck tramping around in that thick nasty stuff aimlessly for a Bear. HaHa... that last guy looks like TJ.....

HaHaHa.... I know a few guys that have pics of me with a big ol' grin and a wave on thier Trail cams.... we have talked about throwin' a BA in front of cams but never have....

Ernie! Glad you finally got on here, Kiddo!! It took you long enough! Tell your Dad hello! Great pics, Congrats!! You need to share some more of your pics!! FYI.... Everyone...... Ernie was my ACE pitcher & home run hitter on a Little League team I coached in 1995 or 1996.... he is a great kid!!! He looked me up last year and sent me some pics of their last few hunting seasons.... He has become quite the hunter and I am sure his Dad is proud! Gino

We had the pleasure of meeting Brad on "the Strip" last year and all I can say is, "Thanks, Brad!".... What a great guy! All the guys he hunts with are awesome as well!! I'd hunt with those guys any time and their pics are proof of the results they put up in ol' Mex!

IMO..... Any comfortable internal packframe..... Line the inside with a heavy duty 55 gal trash bag.... slide 4 quarters and all the boned meat off of the torso into the pack and add the head and cape to the top..... and away you go! BTW... make sure you get the meat out of the bag ASAP once at the truck or quad! I air cool the meat before loading the pack last thing... it buys you enough time to get it out in the plastic.

Not much of an elk man, but I couldn't get 385 out of him or even close. I hope the guy that kills him does though and more. I too, fought how to score him..... The pics on here do the bull no justice.... in all the video I have and the hours of looking at him on the hoof.... I started at mid-370's and slow talked myself up to 380"-385".... and am probably wrong.... the longer I look at a bull the more I second guess the score.....

Thanks everyone for the posts, the PM's, and the phone calls!!! It was a good day at work and an outstanding evening of drinking beers on the porch with my Beautiful Bride.... just the two of us... she sang me "Happy Birthday" over one candle on a big ol' whipcream iced cake with a deer head and fall colors on top! Just me and her and the dogs! What a perfect evening! Thanks again! TJ, A friend of a friend took that dog (Shiela), you love so much off my hands about 2-3 months ago.... ... she had an issue that I couldn't seem to fix and he thinks she is the most perfect dog just as she is.... sooo.... she is happier where she is and very well loved. My wife knew I was pretty bummed about the whole deal, however, and brought me home a new lil' "Heeler" pup this last week for my B-day present.... Heelers are the most perfect dogs for me and my lifestyle, so this was the greatest gift, and my ol' female heeler is really showing her age as of late and being that she is "The Best Dog" I have ever owned.... there is much that I want her to teach this pup. It has already begun..... I'll post up some pics soon. Mike, I think I drank one for all my friend who were not there! Thanks, again! G

Outstanding!!! Congrats on the moose and thanks for sharing! Can't wait to let my wife read your post, it is awesome to hear about women hunters and see the results!!!! Congrats!!

Thanks for sharing.... that is Great stuff!

OH, Do Tell!!! When, where, how??? Send me a PM if you want. I just want to know what he grossed more than anything..... Hey, Dogman, post up those pics you have, please..... Oh, and thanks.

Great first bull, Tyler. Congrats to you and the Ol' Man on getting it done.

Great deer and a great mount! 118" gross

+1 That is how we always hunted them as well.... however, with the lil' guy you might consider a 4/10 shotgun. Good luck. Squirrel hunting is a great leason in eating what you shoot.... Pretty good table fair and the kids get a sense of putting food on the table for the familly!

I got this in an email yesterday..... and it is a dang better sollution than what our polititians will come up with..... I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend. To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00. My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend. Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%. Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife has $595,000.00. What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family? Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved. Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads Put away money for college – it’ll be there Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs. Buy a new car – create jobs Invest in the market – capital drives growth Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces. If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’ s really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( “vote buy” ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President. If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+! As for AIG – liquidate it. Sell off its parts. Let American General go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up. Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t. Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.” But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party! How do you spell Economic Boom? I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividen d more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC. And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam. Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest. Kindest personal regards, Birk T. J. Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic &n bsp; &n bsp; PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it’s either good for a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!

Awww Man!!! That Sucks!!! I like the beer there! Um... what is BWW? I have always loved Granny's for the Prime Rib!! My favorite place to eat on that side of town! Buffalo Wild Wings Alright... I'm slow..... Never been there how is the food??

Got give a shout out to Lark.... Thanks for your educated posts in this thread.... Your politics is almost identical to mine! To write in a vote is supporting Obama... whether you want to do that or not!

SWEET!!!!
