Found an enormous deadhead (coues)

Recommended Posts

I glassed up what looked like a bone white tine, and to the left I could see a spine.

right after that I move my binos and glassed up a lion at last light. First one I’ve ever seen. 
 

went back the next morning for the head and I found about a 105” on the way to it.

Holy sh!t!! Both of those are bad as$!  I’m not sure if the dead heads or the lion are the highlight? I’ve only seen a handful of lions but have never found antlers like that.

Yeah I was torn between shooting at the lion and just enjoying seeing one. Idk anything about lions but I could tell it was a big one

Same boat as you, never killed one but would like to. I’ve eaten them before and it is really good meat!

My friend killed one, I ate some and it was good.

Stuff of dreams right there.

Yeah. I know dudes call them participation trophies, but I’m mounting the mf’er for sure.

That’s a great buck and an amazing find. Congratulations! Let us know the score when you measure him. He has a similar frame and tines to a buck a lady killed recently that I saw pics of. Another giant. If you get the chance, pull the trigger on the lion. Lots and lots of deer will thank you.
