desertbowhunter Report post Posted December 10, 2008 I wanted to post this buck because it's the last coues I shot. I have been stuck on mulies for the past couple of years, but after looking at some of these pics I think my coues deer fire is starting to burn again. With January fast approaching it's game on. I just have to stay away from those ruttin mulies.By the way I was way more happy that day I shot this buck than the pics look. I think I was in shock.

desertbowhunter Report post Posted December 10, 2008 Just to add some details for everyone. This buck ended up scoring right at 108. I shot this buck in December of 2006. I glassed him up right at daybreak on opening day at roughly a 1000 yards. I glassed him feeding in a big ocotillo thicket, I watched him for about an hour till he bedded down. Once I had my landmarks as to where he was bedded I made my move. To make a long story short it took five and half hours to find him again. When I found him all I could see was the tips of his antlers. I snuck to within in 150 yards and shot him out of his bed. He didn't know what him. It was one of the most exciting days of hunting I have ever had. The cool part was seeing the look on my dads face when he first laid eyes on him. That is a day I will never forget!

desertbowhunter Report post Posted December 10, 2008 ha! I was trying to post pics that would kind of hide that, but I guess I didnt do a very good job. It was a up hill shot through a small lane and all I had was a neck shot. He was bedded down in some really thick stuff so I figured at 150 yards it would be an easy shot but I hit about 2-3 inches from where I was aiming. At least he didnt feel anything I don't think he even flinched after I shot him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
