hime Report post Posted September 2, 2009 Here is the buck I shot last year. The hunt was the early rifle in unit 31. I glassed up this buck and a smaller fork bedded in a draw in the middle of a grassy spot. The grass was so high all I could see was the antlers. I was able to move to about 150 yards away and droped him with one shot. Although he is not huge it is the first decent coues I have taken and after 11 years of chasing these guys will be a real memory for me. This is my first time posting pictures, so hopefully everything shows up correctly. JDH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hime Report post Posted September 3, 2009 I had the mount done at Weller's in Tucson. My wife picked it up to surprise me so I didn't get to talk to anyone from the shop, but my wife did. She said that Bud talked to her and mentioned he thought the deer was really unique and maybe something was genetically wrong with it. He said there were three things that were not normal. The first was the lack of eye guards. The second was the extremely smooth bases. Finally, the pictures don't show it well, but there are large snow white patches on the lower chest area. As for genetics in the area I'm not sure. I know my dad shot a three point the year before about two ridges over and his had nice eye guards. My great uncle also shot a two point the same last year in the same area on the November hunt and he also had eye guards. I'd like to think it is a unique deer, but I'll keep on eye out as I'm hunting the same unit again this year. JDH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
