CouesBuckhunter Report post Posted January 16, 2011 Friday 3:00 PM, im at school and my dad is out hunting a huge buck hard. 3:10 PM, he shoots the huge buck at 47 yards......7:00PM, he is finally back to the truck. That was my dads hunt in summary, (as much as I know). He was extremely tired and cacti-thorn-full and my knee was killing me still so i decided to hunt one of my spots and take it easy (instead of hunting the verticle caynons) the next day. 6:00AM, i wake up and began my ride to my water spot, i get there only to find out that someone stole my camera! I was extremely mad and was debating whether to sit there or not, after thinking (frustrated thinking) i came to the conclusion that I didnt even want to be in this spot any more since someone is obviously taking advantage of my spot. So i left and on the way out i spotted a nice 3x4 pushing does. After a closer look I realized: "O crap! thats Slant!" Slant is a buck I have been watching for a while and the last time i saw him was last january, when i took a video of him. I have also found a shed from him. So when i caught sight of him I knew I had to go after him. I got his doe in between me and him and he circled around at 30yards, but i drew too late and he stepped behind the doe but i held my bow back because it appeared that he was gonna continue walking unfortunatly after awhile i couldnt hold the bow back any longer so i let down and the doe spooked, he ran up the hill with her and stopped at 40 yards and i released my 415 grain arrow tipped with a 125 swhacker right into both lungs. He only went 40 yards. Here's my dad's buck, he is a 4x4 non typical and rough scored at about 117, he has 5 inch bases and a 17.5 inch spread. That is the biggest bodied Coues Deer my dad has ever seen, it makes his antlers look small. Heres my buck, (AKA Slant), I have no idea what he will score,,,He is a 3x4, decent mass and good eyeguards. He isnt huge but he meant a whole lot to me.
