Glass, Glass, Glass the deer are there! My luck has been seeing them at first light, it gets hot quick and there is no movement during the day from my experience. It was a little cooler today than opening weekend so maybe it will cool down a bit before fri. Good luck!

Thats a great buck! Who needs a dec tag to take a monster they are being found in the hot october months!

Congrats on your first and to be a nice one is great!

Nice mass nice buck congrats

Thats a big bear!

Awesome buck congrats!

Coues hunting is frustrating IMO, but it makes it that much more rewarding when you do finally get one on the ground. I had a nice little forky today at about 400 yds but I didn't want to take a shot because I was afraid I wouldnt be able to find him it was very thick brush where he was at. I tried to put a stalk on him but never seen him again. I probably walked right by him they are so sneaky! Good luck dont give up on the coues.

Congrats on your first coues and a nice one too!

My luck has also been seeing the deer early in the morning and nothing after 9am. We put a decent buck to bed the night before opening day but we didn't see him until about 5:30pm. Headed back out in a couple of hours now that the wedding is over with.

Tons of hunters but nothing a long hike will take care of. Seen lots of deer, seen one guy shoot a buck i was after yesterday. I went out this morning right away we got into 5 deer one 3 point and another spike other 3 couldn't tell what they were. I never was able to get a shot something spooked them and they were out! I had to come back to town for sister in law wedding I will be back out tomorrow for the rest of the week.

Seen some nice deer in the unit. My hunt starts tomorrow so i'm leaving now later! PS Scouting might be knind of hard this weekend since there is a hunt going on in the unit starting tomorrow!

Great lookin buck i'll be lookin for one just like it come friday a.m.

Nice pics of some nice bulls!

Hogwash. If the kid can make the shot consistently which it sounds like he proved he could then why not. Everything was legal, ethical, and humane. If you put enough time and $$ into your rifle, amo, and rest then you can be consistently lethal at those ranges. My wife shot her first deer at 500 yards with a similar set up. Double lunged it with one shot. As far as the experience and essence of the hunt who is to say he didn't experience it? Look at the smile on his face. Isn't that what it is all about? I personally love long range hunting. Adds to the challenge. Some people like to sneak in close for the challenge which is fine if that is what they enjoy. Not everyone's essence of the hunt is the same. As long as you are legal and humane and it puts a smile on your face then Mission Accomplished! Nice job kid! Those coues bucks are in serious trouble! +1 It sounds like the kid made a great shot and has practiced before at these long ranges with consistancy. He made a great one shot kill. I think we should congratulate the kid not question him on how he got it done. These days we need all the youth hunters we can get to keep our passion alive and strong.
