bowhuntaz1 Report post Posted October 31, 2009 Ok. I know most of you will answer coues; but here is my issue. I found a spring. water slowly leaks out of a rock face to form a little pond.2 1/2 long X about 1 foot wide X about 6 inches deep. i have 2 trail cams on it for 3 months. NO human has been there. There is a large 4x5 mullie and a nice 4x4 coues that hit it every day, along with smaller bucks. I made a ground blind 30 yards away at the only bush that is over 2 foot tall. i have to wait till January to send my arrow to one of them, if they are still around. which one would you shoot? I'm after the meat... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COUESAZ Report post Posted October 31, 2009 A smaller buck for the meat. Maybe less meat but good eatin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BML Report post Posted October 31, 2009 Any chance we could talk you into posting the pictures of these two bucks? It sounds like you don't really care much either way, so I would just shoot whichever buck gives you the first opportunity. If you really want some good meat, wait for one of the younger bucks. Either way it sounds like you found a great spot! Good luck in January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W.O.T Report post Posted October 31, 2009 Since you're going for meat, buy a side of beef its cheaper and tastes better or shoot a spike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azoutlaw Report post Posted October 31, 2009 If you are really hunting for the meat, shoot one of the smaller bucks. I doubt you are or you wouldnt be trying to decide on which of the two largest racked animals hitting the tank you should shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactusjack Report post Posted November 1, 2009 I agree with buying the side of beef, thats way cheaper than hunting. If I put a price per pound on the deer my son shot this year, I could have bought a case of ribeyes for less. That being said I wouldn't trade that weekend for anything.

WFGinNM Report post Posted November 1, 2009 If I was hunting meat, it sure wouldn't be for a muley buck. That's just my taste buds opinion. But to have a chance to hunt a rutting Coues'. I'd take a Coues'. --Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
