Unit 27/28 Hunt

[ScottAdams]

I?ve been out the last couple of days with Ralph Harris and his friend Patrick. Patrick has a tag for 27/28.

Yesterday was a good one. We glassed up 22 does and 5 bucks. 1 of those bucks looked really good, however we spotted him with the 30?s from 2 ? miles out, so we weren?t sure how good. He could have been 90 or he could have 115, we just didn?t know. So we head over to where we bedded him down and wouldn?t you know it, he was gone. We hunted him until dark and never located him. We also saw an 80ish 3 point that had his nose to the ground hot after two does.

 

Here?s a photo of 1 of 3 spikes we saw.

 

 

 

Today we saw 5 bucks and 12 does. Right off this morning we picked up a monster Coues buck. He was coming down a ridge following a doe. It looked like if we hurried we could get on him. We made our way across a canyon and up a ridge. We quickly found 2 small bucks but not the big?un. Oh it was cold this morning, 13 degrees. We were dying up on the ridge trying to find that big rascal. Soon we located a doe and shortly thereafter the Muy Grande. There were 2 other bucks vying for the affection of the doe and the big?un didn?t like it, he postured and chased to keep the other bucks away from his fickle doe. It wasn?t too long into the morning before he and she had had enough and they both bedded. We sent Patrick in for the kill while I snapped some photos of this monster.

 

Here he?s peeing on the does bed.

 

 

 

Taking a much-needed nap.

 

 

 

Notice the palmation on the right antler.

 

 

 

A very nice 3x4, with 5 inch eye guards and a gross score of over 110.

That sucks! Stuck in "The land of fruits and nuts" with the Coues rut in full swing and tag in pocket. Just keep swilling the eggnog and before you know it you'll be planted behind the tripod again.
