Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Unhappy with McMillan

Good part of city life is Costco only carries Amber by the case. Might have to crack one myself when I get home.

Here is the coues deer I took in mexico last year.

Broken it scores 89 and if he was all there he'd be between 105 and 110. Just my luck the buck had to be broken. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />


Happy with him anyways. The mexicans made us a nice meal with the backstraps. never forget that one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nice lookin buck. Glad he tasted good too. The eatin is always my favorite part of the hunt <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Was he taken in Sonora?

And what rifle(s) do you favor for Coues Deer?

HBB,

Yep the buck came from Sonora off one of the ranches that I realized is probably my favorite.

As far as rifles, This buck was taken with a 25-06. We took two bucks with this rifle. Preformance was great.
I really like magnum rifles. The 300 win mag is probably my all time favorite for coues. Not because its better, but because I like the bullet choices and different uses for the rifle.
The Rifles I favor the most are: 300 mag (any), 7mm mag (any), 270 (any), 25-06. Any of those rifle equiped with a 3x9 scope or better, and you have a great coues gun. I have used them all, including the 308 and the 243, but the above are the ones I think are better for the task.

That bear almost looks bigger than the one DFC shot!! ....

now we got pantyless pirates .... let's hope their not butt pirates ....

and Enrique has to bring Mexicans into the equations .... don't you know its all the Mexicans fault??? If there wasn't Mexicans in AZ, then Chuck's stock would work fine ..... damn it!! (my wife's family is Mexican, and the eats do kick booty (except for something called minudo?? ... I'm not that brave))

How bout tripos? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ain't sure what that is ... but I can guess. Hopefully it will be awhile until I'm offered that delicacy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Leave the Mexicans out of this. Its not their fault they makethe stocks Americans don't make. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
And Menudo is the BOMB!!! One of my favorite meals. I am only lucky enough to eat it twice a year. Christmas and New years. Served with Tamales, beans and Rice. It will knock your socks off. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Eat this:




The above is how the ranchers took care of the meat.

Trick is to start off with several Negro Modelos then the menudo and tripos ain't too bad.

Done right, tamales might be one of the best meals in the world. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> A little habanero sauce don't hurt either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Damn, I'm gettin' hungry...

I just wanna get the title of this thread back to what it was ... it's TOO good to be called something else .................. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Someone asked "what are tripas?"

They are cow intestines. The utter intestines if I am not mistaken. We call them "tripas de Leche" and they eat well if cooked properly.

Kique

Not too bad fried. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
