There is a picture down the way a little bit. The thread is called "Last Dayer", it may be on page 2 now. That one was 84 gross, my dad shot it. My biggest coues is 104 net, 107 gross, killed in unit 36B in the rut many moons ago. Jeez, I feel old!!! I will try to post a picture of it in a day or two.

bret, my dad has that hunt this year we will be going where i shot my deer at because during the november hunt, my partner missed at 2 in the hundreds. one was about 120 we will be going down in the universal ranch road area. have you ever hunted down in there. also does grunting and rattling work in the rut at all? i am trying to talk my dad into letting me tickle the horns a lil for him

Casey,

I'll be in 36B this year, too, but probably not until the day after Xmas. Will likely be camped in the Sycamore Canyon area in a large silver tent with a tan roof. I also drive a burgundy (red) Dodge Ram Quadcab with a matching shell. License is Tony10. So stop by if we're around.

We're going down to scout on Sunday, Dec. 7 and might also go down just for a day during the week AFTER the opening weekend, i.e probably on Monday, Dec. 16. -TONY

You guys are getting me way to excited. I will be huntin 36c this Dec. I will be getting there on the 26th and hunting to the end of the hunt. Have been putting my plan together, but would like to here from people that has hunted this area during the Dec hunt. I am still up in the air about were to set me standerds at. I have 5 days to hunt I was thinking the first 2 days to go for a 100+ inch buck, day 3-4 85+, last day anything with horns. What do you guys think.

Thanks

I have never heard of that area. The buck I killed was in the low hills on the Buenos Aires. He was rutted out of his head with 14 or so does. I imagine calling them and rattling would work, I would save that for archery hunting though. We glassed him up, and if I had a rifle rut tag I would be glass, glass, glassing! Good luck to you guys
