6A Success !!!

Finally after 10 years of chasing coues i've scored on a buck that i can really be proud of . On thursday met up with my dad in camp verde and decided on an area but was second guessing my self while driving in ,just seen and area that got my attention and set up camp ,never scouted the area before so got out and checked out the area and spent most of opening morning glasing and exploring the basin , when at the base of the mountain with 3 drainages running into it i found a small spring that was hidden in this canyon and was torn up with deer and javelina tracks , went back to camp grabbed my ground blind and set up about 75 yrds from this spring .

1st evening seen a mule deer doe at sunset ,decided to spend saturday in the blind all day ,climbed in at 6:30 and fought sleep til about 10:30 when the first white tail doe walked in that woke me up then another at 12:00 and one more at around 1:00 , then at 1:30 there walked in the biggest coues buck ive ever had the oppurtunity to take , a 75 yrd shot with my 25/06 and 100gr sierra handloads he dropped in his tracks , still hard to believe all these years and only a fork and spike to show forth i finally done it ,was glad my dad was there to share this with me unfortuntly he was unable to get a deer do to commitments on monday

Did have the pleasure of meeting Atypical and his wife on there hunt ,they were the first ones i got to share my experience with , whats the chance of a couple e- mails and we happen to camp in the same area and thanks to the input i recieved from other members did go off on my own but your input was greatly appreciated

Congrats on a really nice buck! I talked to Atyp when he got back and said you took a nice symetrical buck! You gotta watch that guy... he's a character

 

Great strategy sitting the spring while things are incredibly dry out there!

Dan,

 

Great mature buck, and such a good looking rack, was glad to see it in the field and chat with you and your dad. The last time I saw a smile that big I was next to a lottery winner ..

 

Keep up the good work, especially with your posse of young hunters.
