azrcks Report post Posted October 25, 2011 Well, had a great hunt with 4 out 7 of us tagging out in 2 days of hunting. I shot this guy on opening morning. Helped my brother in law take his first coues at 515 yards with my rifle. My new Eberlestock Dragonfly really got broken in as I helped pack out 3 of the 4 deer in such a short time. I have shot a few coues with my best scoring 78" and told my self a few years ago to start holding out, when I glassed him up I thought to pass because he was a bit broken but seeing the fourth point and the decent mass I had to shoot, I shot him at 200 yards with my Sendero 7MAG and 168 grain Berger. All 4 deer were taken with Bergers and they all fell in their tracks! I taped him out to 85" What a blast, we had a large camp with a few new to coues deer hunting, one of the guys bought new binos as soon as the hunt was over realizing they were the key to a successful hunt for next year.

daryl_s Report post Posted October 26, 2011 I am one of those people that couldn't care less about numbers. To me it's more about how it looks than any kind of score. I think that's a great looking buck that I would love to put my tag on. Congratulations!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted October 26, 2011 Congratulations. The only holding out I would have done would be holding out for a clear shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
