Bomber Velvet Coues

Here is a super buck taken by last year's auction coues hunter Phillip B.  Phillip was hunting with Arizona Ground Pounders when he took this giant.  They have photos of this buck for the past few years and were finally able to put eyes on him and harvest him.  I personally ran a rough tape on him and got over 146" gross and he was officially scored SCI at over 147". 

Some recent completions

Here are a few mounts that recently left the shop.  The elk was taken by Justin R. with his muzzleloader and grosses over 390".

120" Coues and a Double Coues Pedestal

Here is a 120" buck taken last year in Sonora, MX by Buck L.  Buck was hunting with Jason Sherwood of High Desert Outfitters.  The other bucks were taken by a father/son duo in Sonora, MX and they hunted with Goodman Outfitters.

 

 

Mexico 2015

Our group went to a new ranch this year in Sonora and harvested some nice deer.  We ended up with deer that measured 113, 112, two 107s, 95 and 90.  It was a lot of fun with a good group of friends.  My dad had a tag and ended up giving it to his grandson due to a knee problem and not being able to get around.  I attached a photo of Dad and Gage with his last day buck. 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple of nice bucks.  The buck with the habitat was taken by Brady M.  while hunting With Colburn and Scott Outfitters in Sonora, MX.  He was taken with archery equipment and his gross score is 118 2/8 with a net of 110 1/8. Brady's buck has been invited to the Pope and Young Panel and Convention that will be held in Phoenix this year.  The other buck was taken by Jason H., founder of Kuiu.  He also hunted with Jay Scott and Darr Colburn in Sonora Mexico. 

Some Nontypical Coues Bucks

Here are a few nontypical Coues bucks I finished up recently.  The top two bucks were taken in southern Arizona on the late December hunt and the two lower bucks were taken in Sonora, Mexico.

Broc's Giant Velvet Coues

Beams, beams and more beams.  Here are some photos of the the big velvet buck Broc B. took last year with the auction Coues tag.  He has double main beams on the right and quadruple main beams on the left. 

Velvet and a hard horned deer

Here are some velvet bucks and a hard horned buck that I recently finished up.  The hard horned mule deer was taken in central AZ by a junior hunter from Mississippi.  It is crated and shipping out tomorrow for its new home.  He is 32" wide and grosses 185; a super buck for this area.

Antelope, Coues and Mule Deer

Here are some recent mounts I finished.  The double Coues pedestal belongs to Shane R.  and he harvested both of these bucks in Mexico on the same trip.  The shoulder mount coues and mule deer were taken by Colby S. in Sonora on the same trip.  The Javelina belongs to Sean W. and was taken in unit 23.  The Antelope were taken by Kurt S.and his wife in New Mexico.

 

A Couple of Pieces Finished

Here is a pedestal we did of a great coues buck taken by Waylon Pettet of Arizona Groundpounders. Waylon's buck grosses in the mid 120s.   The lion was taken by Matthew Phillips while hunting with the Arizona Groundpounder crew.

Mexico 2014

Here are some photos of our most recent annual jaunt to Sonora this year for Coues deer.  The weather was warm and the moon was big which is not a good combination for hunting deer. Our group was still able to harvest some nice bucks.  Our leases were pretty dry this year with deer numbers down quite a bit.  Even with the tough hunting conditions everyone had a great time.  We even had 12 Goulds's gobblers walk across the road in front of us one evening.  Thanks to Bob D. for the great cooking and to Pat H., Hunter H., Houston D., Rob M., Richard K., Tim R., Earl L, Bill G. and Cole G. for he good times.
