flyphsr Report post Posted September 10, 2009 First coues deer, I shot him the 2nd friday of the hunt. I had no idea how spooky these deer are. I sat in the stand for three days before I shot him, although I missed the buck I wanted on opening day. Evrey deer that came in to drink doe or buck took thirty to forty-five minutes to get to the water. Every pine cone that droped, squirrel that moved, and every bird that flew made these deer jump. They are on edge the whole time they are around water. The buck I shot took thirty minutes untill he finally gave me a shot at twenty-five yards, he ducked the arrow, but didn't leave, I couldn't belive I had missed again, but he didn't want to leave, he kept comming back but never gave me another shot. Ten or fifteen minutes later he started to leave the same way he came in. He then turned and was about to leave in a different direction right through an opening I had already ranged at forty-three yards. As he crept through the opening I shot, I heard the hit and I knew I had a good shot. As he ran off I couldn't see him but I heard him fall, excited I waited the longest hour of my life and climbed down and found him thirty yards away. This hunt has me hooked, I can't wait till my daughter's hunt in October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowsniper Report post Posted September 10, 2009 Congrats! Very nice buck! Good observations about how wired these bucks are. They are only slightly less wired away from water, and as the racks get bigger, they get closer and closer to jumping out of their skin. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
