ready2hunt Report post Posted May 9, 2012 Went out with my father last Oct. and downed this buck at 8am opening morning. I walked up on this buck sparing with a smaller 2 point and shot him at 20 yards (he never heard or smelled me...he was too preoccupied). I shot another 3x4 buck in that same spot in 2010 at 10 yards (pure DUMB luck on both hunts). This buck gave a death leap and tumbled over. This is the largest coues I have ever shot and while he is no monster I am pretty proud of him (great eatin' too). The only thing that top's this buck would be that fact that I got to share this hunt with my father. He doesn't have too many more seasons of hunting left in him so it was a great memory! He tells me that seeing his kids take an animal brings him more joy than pulling the trigger himself ever could. I look forward to that joy in the future. Thought I would share! (Oh and I think he measures in at 50-55" ??? I could be completely off) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
