DeerHunter3x3 Report post Posted November 26, 2012 I just became eligible to hunt Coues Whitetail, and I went hunting in unit 33. I went hunting the day before and saw 16 does, and two fawns but no bucks. The next day the first deer I saw was a buck that was in a thicket of junipers. I went closer to make a 288 yd shot which missed, followed by another round which hit him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple Hunter Report post Posted November 26, 2012 Congrats Son! I am so proud to have been able to share that moment with you. Morgan has been taught to be modest so I think he had a tough time writing about this. What Morgan fails to tell you is that he just turned 10 in April and he has only had two big game hunts a javelina hunt (find thread hunt here http://www.coueswhit...l__morgan's) and this juniors deer hunt. He has tagged beautiful animals on both with his sharp shooting. Morgan shoots a .243 Win in the Savage Youth model and it is obviously very comfortable for him based on his success. This Coues was one of the biggest bodied Coues I have seen in a long time - more like a mulie - his neck was swollen and ready for the rut and he had some major fat stores on him. He has almost a 13" inside spread Here's a profile of him, his antlers also have nice mass I think I enjoyed this more than my own hunts! Congrats again Morgan, this will be hard to top! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
