Brian Payne Report post Posted September 10, 2009 What an absolute toad! Do you have a net score? I know nets are for fish but when you are talking WRs unfortunately it comes into play. Looks like he probably wouldn't net over 130 but who cares, he is awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cramerhunts Report post Posted September 10, 2009 As for velvet larger bucks shed first and bucks down south shed before bucks up north. I agree that larger bucks shed first but disagree with the statement that the bucks down south shed before the bucks up north. I have found quite the opposite in my few years of hunting them. From what I have experienced the majority of the units down south are later in all stages then most of the northern units, including the rut, shedding of horns, antler growth, and shedding the velvet......... regardless none of this matters as this topic is about a fantastic buck and not about the stages of development of a coues deer.

azcouesfanatic Report post Posted September 10, 2009 Net scores are bogus, but this buck can be entered as a non-typical. As a non-typical I believe he will easily exceed the 124 0/8. Matt will probably not enter him anyways because he does not care about the score. Regardless it has been a great year for giant bucks. I do believe the rut is later down south and possibly the shedding of antlers but as for velvet I have seen the opposite. Almost half the bucks we are seeing down south right now are completely shed of velvet. I have not seen a buck up north without velvet or heard of one. I could be wrong about shedding down south but this is what my experience has been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZantlerhead Report post Posted September 11, 2009 That is one Serious coues buck, Much congrats. An Absolute giant. As for the Commonly accepted BS saying that " Bowhunting is harder". You guys have thrown that out the window this season with all the giant coues. General tag holders will be hard pressed to keep up in the scoreing department. Those Fobbs are interesting to say the least, and obviously they work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
