Congrats that is awesome. Way to go on your first coues hunt. Could not have done much better!

I have alot of pics so bear with me, I can never choose a few I call him the "Avatar" buck because he has been my avatar picture for awhile. I really wanted to kill this buck. Well it started in January this year when I found this buck chasing does and doing his thing. The first time I saw him I knew he was a buck that I really wanted. He is everything I look for in a coues buck good frame, mass, and width. I was able to hunt him for 8 days during the late archery season and I was only able to get one shot off but it was a clean miss over his back. I was able to locate him every time in the same general area, the problem is I could not figure out how to get close to him due to the terrain which always kicked my butt, steep and thick. He always outsmarted me and it got frustrating. I was hoping to get a rifle tag in the area but no go. I then found out my uncle and cousin drew the tag, so I was hoping we could find him again. I did not do as much scouting as I would have liked during the summer, but it happens. I never saw him once during the summer months and I had not been out to look once until this morning. Luke Duke went out the opener to no luck. Then I called him Friday afternoon and asked if he wanted to give it another go for Saturday and it worked out to where we could hunt the whole day. I had a good feeling of finding some bucks in this area and hopefully find The "Avatar" buck. Thats all I could talk about was I hope we can find this buck. Lucas kept telling me he wanted a good solid 80" buck and we decided to shoot whatever coues buck gives him a shot. We got into the area the night before and got some sleep. We got up in the morning with high hopes. I kept telling him to be ready for a quick shot. After 20 minutes of doing some walking and glassing we came up with 4 does and fawns, not too bad since its always nice to see some deer. We then keep going when, with my naked eyes I could see what looked like a whitetail facing away directly away from us at at about 200 yards. Put my binos up and quickly determined it was a buck, and good one at that. He then turned sideways and I recognized him as the "Avatar" buck. I quickly told Lucas to get ready. He was as calm as ever, while I started to get buck fever even though I was not shooting. He then worked his way across the thick ridge as Lucas got into a prone position with a steady rest. I was hoping he would step into a clearing long enough for me to stop him and for Lucas to pull the trigger before he topped the ridge. Well it worked like a charm he stepped into the clearing, I asked Lucas if he was ready and he replied yes, so I stopped him. As soon as he stopped to look towards us perfectly broadside, Lucas let off a solid shot. He drilled him hard as his front legs went into the air and he toppled over backwards and started to roll down the hill. He thrashed in the bushes for a minute and then it stopped. We both looked at each other with big smiles and we hugged it out. I was positive it was the "Avatar" buck. We both started to shake and were in disbelief of what happened. It was picture perfect in a sense. We were lucky enough to be in the right spot at the right time to harvest this buck. Lucas just nailed his first buck and he was a stud. I was so excited to be there for that moment with him. Thanks Doug for letting him go hunt with me. I was impressed with the way Lucas handled the situation keeping calm and focusing on making a great shot. It was awesome to say the least. Congrats Luke Duke you deserved this buck. I was happy to see the buck go to him, better him then me. We then worked our way to the buck, it took about 30 minutes to get over there and find him hidden in some thick brush as he lay Again sorry for all the pics We went to Christians later that day to score him Came up with 103 5/8" Gross and would net at 99 3/8" Again congrats Luke on a solid first buck, you da man

Yes! what a buck that is! Big Congrats! Great picture of the whole team

That is a stud bull Steve. Like Cory said you deserve a bull like that with all your scouting and hard work. Congrats

That is a fantastic bull. Congrats to your wife and the crew for killing a great animal

That is a cool looking bull, congrats. I know he will look good on the wall

Fantastic pictures!

It was a tough archery season for sure, great job getting it done on some great bulls

Great bulls! you guys did a number

Use the Personal messaging if you guys are going to go back and forth . Your getting away from the topic, although I like seeing people bicker sometimes Shortpants said it Time and Luck.....I think its all about being patient and having the time to get out and scout more then anything but I think there is a little luck involved

Congrats on a sweet bull Great story as well

I came up with 368"
