TAM Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Well our group just got home from Mexico last night after hunting hard for 7 days. I was rewarded on the morning of the 6th day with this great buck. I glassed him up before there was even enough light to see horns but since he was on top of a doe breeding her it was obvious he was a buck. All we could do was wait and watch as it got lighter. He was within a few yards of where we had seen a massive buck the previous afternoon and our fingers were crossed that it was the same buck. After several minutes of watching I decided that he was a shooter and got my rifle set up even though I wasn't sure if it was the massive buck from the day before. As I watched through the rifle scope I had to wait for him to finish doing the deed with his doe and right as he backed down I sent a bullet through his front shoulder. My buddy called the shot and said he went down and out of sight. The doe never even turned around to see where her boyfriend went. Turns out it was a different buck that we hadn't seen before but a great buck that I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to take home with me. Thanks to Craig, Jim, Josh, Gail, Nate, Alan, and Dave for another great hunt in Sonora Mexico!!! I had a great time and I can't wait to go back next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted January 28, 2012 Congratulations on your buck. Them mexican bucks certainly have alot of character to them that's for sure. Letting that buck pass on his genes was awesome of you. I have always said that would be the way to go. Well, maybe not by a bullet. Thanks for sharing.
