Coues Sniper,

 

I used my GL2 and I was pretty close. Probably 100 yards at first, then later snuck into about 10-15 yards when it was almost dark. That buck definitely knew he was on safe property. He was really focused on a doe also (you can see her uphill of him in some of the dark footage). It was a great experience to be that close to a rutting buck. I was a little worried he would turn on me, but thankfully he didn't.

Cow Elk Urine Wafers will usually keep them at bay.

Amanda,

That is unbelievable footage ! To be close enough to film a truly big deer, Wow... that is all I can say !!

I would put that deer in the high teens, low 120's gross. hopefully, you can get a crack at him during the season.

Thanks for sharing

10-15 yards? Must have been awesome to get that close. That's probably the best footage of a big Coues deer I've ever seen Amanda, great work!

OH MY!!! Gotta be close to the 120" mark I'd guess! WOW!

[Mr. Jonathan]

I think he scores around INCREDIBLE! At about 1:11 in the footage he stands almost still looking broadside and its just gorgeous. I think these deer get more and more beautiful every time I see them. Thanks for sharing, but this coues deer business is starting to turn into an addiction, according to my wife anyways!

[CouesWhitetail]

I agree with you Johnathan....it's amazing how beautiful these deer are! The more I see the other deer subspecies the more I appreciate the delicate beauty of these Coues deer.
