loco4coues Report post Posted October 29, 2009 I am posting this for my 15 year old brother. Him and another of my brothers drew the unit 22 tag for october, and my dad went along to help them out. They glassed up some does and a muley buck on opening morning, with no WT bucks spotted. They moved to a different vantage point on saturday morning and at 7:40 am my dad glassed up this buck at 800 yds. He was in really thick cover and right up against a sheer rock face. My dad and younger brother took off to get closer to him. They spotted him bedded and ranged him @ 228 yards. He was behind a rock and my brother didn't have a shot so they needed to wait for him to get up. By the time they had stalked within range and relocated the buck it was almost 10:00. My brother got in a prone position and got ready for the shot. After about 10 minutes the buck decided to stand and stretch...my brother was ready and laid the hammer down on him. The buck is very symetrical and scores 102 3/8". Clay at Mogollon Taxidermy will be doing the mount for my brother. On a side note I had the 24B tag and hunted friday-tuesday. We were after some good bucks that we had scouted but we couldn't find them. I shot a spike tues. morning (the last day that i could hunt) @ 450 yards. here are the pics of my brother with his buck, enjoy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted October 29, 2009 NIIIIIICE! What a great buck! Congrats to your brother! That is one great looking buck. I love those tall, wide symetrical coues. Wow, just cherish the moment - bucks that BIG and that gorgeous don't come along very often. Those G3's are unreal! Keep that spot close to the belt! Great genetics in there for sure.

Hunterdan Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Very Nice Buck. Congrats to the hunter. I agree with the others. I would have guess that Buck to be another 5 or 6 inches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
