bowhunter4life Report post Posted October 18, 2008 Well this hunt started with with 6 trips to our hunting unit, we had located 9 bucks for us to hunt. We were not able to hunt opening day due to my daughter having a javelina tag for southern az. We had left at 3 :30 am friday and headed down south with high hopes for her to harvest a piggy, we had went to a place were I had found them on 2 other trips in the last 3 weeks, but with only one day to hunt tell 1:30pm we were not able to find them, but it sure was a great day to hang out with my 7th grader. as luck would have it we also had a girl scout night at the fear farm to walk the corn maze that night.As I pulled up to our hunting camp at 1:30 am sat morning. I had just enough left to pull the cot out and stick it next to the truck, 5:00am came quick, with high hopes of getting into some bucks. Jared was up with the alarm saying Dad lets go. and I can only remember is saying only a few more minutes of sleep! We had hunted tell 2:00pm with only finding 2 does. we got back to the truck and heard a message from coues n sheep. " get down here we need another youth hunter. were taged out! the next morning were up glassing some awesome country. I had spotted a spike coues and he had just bedding in some thick cover when geno came over and said," you ant-gona" beleive this I had a 3 x 3 muley 30 yards from me and bust down the hill. I as we got set up to look for him. "maybe 2 seconds behind the glass, I got a coues stated geno. I had a little buck fever and jumped up like kid in a candy store. thanks geno fot settling me down. 20 min. later magic man geno had his 300 weatherby propped up with a pack for jared to sit on. jared sat behind her and as I jumped 8' off the ground" since I was 5 yards to the left and a little in front of that canon going off." I was just able to see the buck buckle up and run about 15 yards to the trees. an hour later jared found a great buck laying there. big thanks to geno! most peolpe they can only count there close friends on one hand. and I think there are many people that have geno on that one hand.mike OH YA JARED SHOT THAT BUCK HE WAS ONLY 450 YARDS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we ask him how he thought he did, he said he double lunged him. when we got to the buck he did just that.
