JeredMD Report post Posted October 31, 2012 Got my first coues WT this past weekend out in AZ 30A. Went East of Douglas along the NM/AZ Border. We found a canyon and hiked backed about a mile and started glassing. Prob was glassing for a few hours when this spike presented himself. Might not be the biggest, but is good enough for me. My first Coues Whitetail . He was right above the shaded area. Came to about 309yd shot with my .223. It took two shots. My first shot was right over his back by about 3-6inch. He then turned and was looking around, and had his body towards me with his head looking toward his back side. I adjusted for bullet drop again (6inch) and which i thought would land on his chest actually went right into his neck. Clean and quick, I am very very happy with it. I already got him cut up, packaged and put in the freezer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeredMD Report post Posted November 1, 2012 Mighty Fine Eats right there,,,,,Congrats!!! Thanks! I already processed him up myself and is in the freezer. I am already planning out next years hunt if I am in AZ. I might be in TX for grad school so I might hunt in NM or TX. Congrats! What kind of bullet were u using? Thanks! I was using 75gr Hornady TAP. I usually don't use rounds like that but I was on a really really tight budget. It was some competition ammo I had left so I used it. Figured it would be better than my Varmint 50gr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted November 1, 2012 How did that TAP ammo work on flesh? Do you have any pictures of wound channel or exit? How about some info on your AR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
