Locked up pair

Recommended Posts

So the Youtube video of the Coues deer that were thought to be in Mexico (fairly recent post) made me think that a few other folks might like to see what I picked up this last spring.

 

I have yet to pick up a brown Coues shed; though I was pretty excited to find this pair and think it's a step in the right direction.

 

How I found them:

 

 

After I cleaned them up:

 

 

The larger buck had a chipped point and both his left and right beams were busted up. Not sure if he was the last one standing or broke them off sometime during the rut before the fatal lockup.

 

Anyways, just thought some of you might appreciate this.

You bet we'd appreciate seeing this. It's not every day you'll find a locked up pair. Thanks for sharing. :)

when i was in high school there were 2 lumberjacks from tucson that were working at point of pines. they would stop to get gas friday afternoon on their way home every weekend. every week they would have a truck load of gigantic coues heads and sheds. almost every week they would have at least one locked set. some weeks they might have several. they found a bunch of em. i remember they were trying real hard to get the tribe to let em hunt whitetail up there. that was the most impressive buncha coues racks i ever saw. they found some truly gigantic bucks every week. another pal of mine was punching cows on the rez and came across to exceptional 5x5 muleys that were locked. both 5x5's and both still alive. he has em mounted in the corner of a room with their horns still locked up.
