Kevin Report post Posted October 29, 2006 I've followed your scouting trips and now your successfull hunt. You are an inspiration to a lot of older coues hunters! This is a perfect example of how it ought to be done. Congratulations to you and especially your Dad. Not only for his deer, but for raising a kid in this day and age with the respect for him and the critters we chase. No matter how big the head gear, these little deer are just plain beautiful! Good job, Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azcouesandelk Report post Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks for all your kind replies guys and gals. Now I just hope I can put my tag on in November. Luckily I get to hunt the whole hunt so the tag will be going on an 80 incher or bust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azcouesandelk Report post Posted October 29, 2006 Christian, Congrats to you and your father on a hunt you will both always remember Looks like you got some good use outta that Eberlestock pack. How bout a report. Oh and by the way I'm 45 and I'm still packin out critters for the Old Man and loving every minute of it. Here is my report on my eberlestock j104 pack. This pack is really comfortable with a light and heavy load. Going in my pack weight right at 40 pounds and it felt as if it only weighed 20. After the deer was down being able to expand the pack to 4500 c.i. made the pack out very easy. With all the straps on the outside to strap my tripod and my jackets down it makes packing out just as easy as packing in. As of now I would recomend this pack to any coues hunter. Plenty of storage and very comfortable. I now have the spike camp attachment on the way so I will have another report after my hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daryl_s Report post Posted October 30, 2006 Congratulations to you and your dad, that's a very nice looking 2 point. Is your November hunt in 36B also???? I need a new pack, maybe I'll go with the Eberlestock...it's quite a bit more than the badlands but the rifle scabbard looks like it came in real handy for you.

azcouesandelk Report post Posted October 30, 2006 Yeah my hunt is for unit 36b and that gun scabbard makes hiking in in the dark very nice and packing a deer out even nicer without it bouncing around on your shoulder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good job, Kevin Kevin that is one of the nicest things anybody has ever said to me and it really means alot to me. Everybody thank you for your replies. You guys are the inspiration to me so you know. This forum has made me an avid coues hunter. It has taught me the importance of using a tripod and high powered optics. It has also taught me the need to know your rifle even better than you think you need to. I would like to thank each one of you guys in person but I cannot sadly so this will have to due. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
