CouesBuckhunter Report post Posted October 24, 2011 My Mom, Peggy, had the 1st October Rifle Hunt this year. After locating many bucks we focused on how we were gonna make the hunt interesting. Since Extreme AZ was filming the hunt, we decided to be creative and use the PSE Tac 15. That crossbow, as its called, is as near to a rifle as a crossbow can get. It was sighted out to 140, pushing a 500 grain arrow, including a 100gr Swhacker, at 400fps. Then came opening day, I skipped out on school to help my mom and we were pumped to put a bolt in a nice 95+ buck. At dawn I was behind my Swarovskis watching that ol buck and his buddy, a 2by. Everything started to fit into place, my Mom got set up in the saddle and the buck, as luck was, came on a beeline to her and my dad who was videotaping the hunt. In all the chaos my dad didnt see that the buck moved alittle closer before my mom shot, so the arrow cave him a clean haircut. later in the evening we found him again, but unfortunatly ran out of light, so we backed off. The next day, with the help of a good friend, glassed the whole area but were unable to find him again, but, in the evening, my Mom passed on a 75inch 3x3. So with nothing in sight we moved to a new area where we saw many bucks and 2 decent ones we made a stalk on ,but, like Friday evening, ran out of that precious sunlight.By that time my Mom, who has tremendous knee problems, was running out of steam and felt as if she could not make it another day. So we switched out the crossbow with the 243 and my Uncle and My dad went out to the area to search for those 2 bucks while she gave her knees a rest. Like clockwork they found those bucks in the same bachelor group they were in when I watched them in the pre-season. I got my mom and made the stalk, slow and steady was our pace as we made it through the nasty and rugged canyons around pesky does and herds of constantly woofing and fighting javalina. Finally, we got into position. I got the camera ready and my Mom awaited the buck to walk out from behind the brush. As he did he stopped, turned his head towards my mom only to recieve an accuratly placed bullet in the chest. I think I was more excited than my Mom, hehehehe, but all in all it was a great hunt and Im grateful of my Uncle and Jimmy for helping us on the hunt. I'm also very proud of my Mother who, despite her knee problems, pushed through and gave 120% all throughout her hunt, she earned that buck without a doubt.
