Coues Sniper

Very cool stuff. Congrats to the both of you!

Nice story and a great buck. Thanks for sharing.

Great shed!

Those field pics make him look even better. Flipping awesome deer man, congrats again.

Nice buck! Especially for a back-up buck. How big was the big one!?

Great buck! That shot took a great deal of "testicular fortitude" my man. Congrats!

A LOT of luck, and 4 good friends.

We need to introduce them into the AZ population

Let's see a Rhino do this!!! (and Yes, we're on a road)

I prefer the Polaris as well. For many of the reasons trophymaster listed. Heck we had 5 people in one one time with all of our gear. The Rhino's are a little faster, and are smaller so they can fit into tighter spots, but not enough to make much of a difference. And they are a little cheaper. But having said all that the Polaris is still definitely the way to go in my opinion. Just a better machine.

Like i said in the other post, Congrats on a deer of a lifetime. No matter where he ranks, he's an awesome deer.

That is an awesome, awesome deer. Congrats on a trophy of a lifetime. No matter where he ranks in some book, he's a stud of a buck man.

Good stuff Congrats on a successful hunt!

Congrats on a great deer. You definitely earned that one!

Good luck Joe. You're right, deer or no deer it's sure to be a good time. But a big 'ol buck would be nice too!

I saw one in Mexico last year. Kinda freaked me out as i had no idea what it was. We were heading back to camp in a Polaris Ranger and it ran down the road in front of us for about 20 yards. My buddy didn't see it as he was looking off to the side and I just pointed with my mouth open trying to figure out what the heck it was. I described it to him and he knew what it was, smart dude.

wow dude Good luck on whacking one of those

Thanks man! And sorry bro, there are no pictures of that deer, lol. Let's just say that they over-estimated that buck- by a long ways. He was a little disappointed since he had passed on several deer bigger than that and forgot to take any pictures. He's about a 150" buck with a 4" drop off his left side.

You guys are nuts! NO SPOTTING SCOPE??? For Coues? I'd rather go out there without pants on than my without my scope! I have the Sawro 80mm HD and it's worth it's weight in gold if you ask me, and that thing's dang heavy! I would pick the 15's over the scope if i could only have one but I sometimes spot stuff far enough away that I need that scope to even tell what kind of headgear he has, or whether he has any at all. To answer you question archer, i had the doubler but found it to be more of a pain in the butt than anything else. Jimmy must have better eyes than i do, because i very much depend on my spotting scope to tell as much as i can about a buck, especially at long distances. If i spot a buck at 1500 yards or more, i have to have that to tell anything. Honestly, hunting without a spotting scope seems just silly to me. The old saying "buy the best you can afford" is very true. Quality costs more, and it makes a difference in the field. The top brands are obvious, but Leupold and Nikon both are good buys for the money. Alot has been said about Vortex lately, but a few guys i know have had some issues with them. One guy had his focus knob stop working on him in the middle of a hunt! It was pretty much worthless after that till he could get back to town. Take Doug up on his offer and pick his brain, but if there is any way you could go with one of the big names (swarovski, Leica, and Zeiss) DO IT. You won't be sorry you did.

Josh that is just a perfect story. That's awesome man congratulations. Having your boy find that shed as his first shed, man that's just icing on the cake. Oh and one more thing... What were his mass measurements!!!

Wow, looks like you guys had an awesome hunt! Congrats on some fine bucks!!!

Hahahaha! Holy crap! I just spit my soda everywhere! The pic on the left loaded first and i thought that was a Coues deer! LMAO Nice buck man, it was a flipping TOAD for about 2 seconds, LOL! Where's some paper towels...

Very, very cool.

dang dude . Heck of a buck for your first Coues deer! Congrats for sure.

Absolutely gorgeous deer. He's just perfect. And I agree with Red; you have any more pictures of that guy? Would love to see a few more angles on him.
