Mearns Hunt with Scottyboy
azcouesandelk replied to Red Rabbit's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
This is the only pic of the pup I have as of now. This is my dad with his new pup and the quail we got. He will be a good looking dog that is for sure. He was a really fuzzy face and a somewhat sleek coat. -
Mearns Hunt with Scottyboy
azcouesandelk replied to Red Rabbit's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
Good to see you guys had some success out there. My dad and I were down hunting mearns this last weekend but my dog is just getting a little old now, and my dads dog is still in the training proccess. We did manage to find 2 coveys and each get 1 bird. Still worth it though. Here I am with my dog Heidi Here are the birds with my dads new/old sid by side. It is an abercrombie and fitch if you can believe it. -
Awesome job. I knew you guys would get a buck sooner or later on that hunt.

More great pics man. I think you might need to take the 3 legged buck out of the herd. -
Very nicely done. 2 great trophy's.

Randy Ulmer Hunting Accident?
azcouesandelk replied to bowsniper's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer
Personally I would love to scout from the air to really be able to get a good idea of the topography of the area with killing yourself hiking (even though I enjoy that part). It can help you see the type of vegetation alot better and if your lucky you can find some animals. -
I would like to thank Tyler (elkhunter) for coming down and helping me on my hunt. Everybody on here knows about my scouting trips and how they paid off for my dad, well now they have paid off for me. We woke up Friday morning at 3:30 and ate our breakfast of eggs, toast and oatmeal. We left camp at 4:00 a.m. and made the hour drive into our parking spot. After a 30 minute hike we made it to the same glassing poition that we were on during my dad's hunt. We wated close to 40 minutes before we could start glassing but the coyote chorus kept me entertained. At 6:10 we started to glass and within 5 minutes Tyler had found a doe and a fawn. Another few minutes passed and Tyler found another doe. We all continued glassing and at 6:40 I located a buck and a doe. The buck looked good so I threw my spotting scope on. I then confirmed him to be a small 3x3 with good eyeguards. After debating a few minutes I decided to go and make a stalk to get a closer look at him. While packing my stuff up the buck had bedded down. I work my way just below the ridgeline. Once I got within 400 yards I setup to get a good look at the buck. I was able to find him and determined that he would be a good first buck for me. I ranged the distance and setup for the shot. It was going to be a 335 yard shot. I take my last breath and the buck stands up and a branch is blocking his vitals. So I wait for a second and he takes off running right at me. I watch him running towards me and once he dropped down in the canyon bottom I move down the hill another 10 yards or so. I waited about 30 seconds when the first doe stepped out followed closely by the buck. I take aim and nail the buck. He ran about 25 yards before deciding to roll down the hill another 25 yards. After the shot I ranged to where he stood when I shot and it was only a 75 yard shot!!! After the shot I go to where the buck was and found a 2 inch wide blood trail all the way to the deer. He is not the monster I was hoping for but a fine buck in my book. I gross scored him at 58 5/8. Here is where I spotted him at. Here is the whole gang with the buck Here I am with my dad and my buck Here I am with my buck Now the best part. During my scouting trips I was able to locate this buck and get some pics and video of him. Here is a pic of him while he was alive. (this is from scouting trip #3) Here is a short clip of him and another bigger buck that was running with him earlier in the year. And here is another short clip of just him. Also the gathering this year was a much better success. Scottyboy and his buddy, firstcoueswas80 and his dad and azfiredude came with his sons and friend. Good turnout and good conversation. Hope everybody else comes back successful. Once again I would like to say that I could not have done it without the help and encouragement from everybody on the forum.

Alright that was definately worth the wait. That is an absolute hawg man. Congratulations. And you couldn't have said it any better SCOUTING PAYS OFF
-
But I want to see them now
-
I have met with guards from virginia, kentucky and north carolina during my scouting trips this year on the border.
-
The national guard has been down on the border in areas since August.
-
Just being curious here. Is this website a sponsor for there's? At the bottom of the main page there is a link for this site.
-
But in order to get that certain time lapse you need to go through the proper authorities. You cannot just run across the border and say you want that lapse.

AYEMAN SCOTT!!!

Sorry to hear about your losses Jack. I wish I could do something to help you out. Congrats on your animals this season.

Good to hear that you ane your had a good weekend. If I had an any antlered deer tag I don't think I could pass up a good 3x3. Shows his dedication and heart to coues hunting
-
You don't owe me anything. I was just happy that I was able to be out there and help out in any way. I am looking forward to hear a success from you next week. Here is a pic of that 4x4. Not the best pic in the world but you can see his rack decent.

First shot looked a little high but she made a great recovery -
This means I might be able to hunt them sometime in the next 30 years

What a hunt there. Lots of good bucks taken.
