Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted January 29, 2006 We have logged a ton of days and hours hunting archery Coues this year and have found the rut to be very "hit and miss". Normally it is much more predictable, but I think the hot & dry conditions have really strung out the the cycle. Many great bucks have been harvested this year and I was fortunate enough to be one of those lucky guys that was in the right place at the right time. I thought I might share my fortune with you all. This awesome non-typical (+/-107" gross) passed by me at 12.5 yds as he calmly "shadowed" a doe. She was about 30 yds ahead of him and I think that he was mearly checking her trail to see if she was Hot. A good and low double lung shot made him mine. I'd like to point out how tuff coues deer are.... this buck made a 140 yard "death run" with no lungs and a Destroyed left front shoulder.... thats tuff. Aim small....miss small.

Shiras Report post Posted January 29, 2006 Coues 'n' sheep Nicely done. That dichotomous palmation is almost hybrid-like, but he definately looks Coues. Great job!! -Shiras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great job!! -Shiras <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, thanks for all the compliments! I am truly stoked about this deer, it is my fifth and largest coues buck with a bow. No, on the Hybrid deal, though. If you hold the horns in hand you really see much more than in the pic. Thanks again guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cramerhunts Report post Posted January 30, 2006 I found the same thing for the rut this year, very hit and miss and I saw no heavy rutting but did see some bucks following does and smelling but no chasing or chousing as I normally see. I agree about the weather. Congratulations on such a fine trophy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
