SilentButDeadly Report post Posted September 11, 2006 Here is my Coue's buck that I took this evening. I've had an eye on him since I found his sheds (in the photo) this spring. I got my chance today while I was out trying to fill my Javelina tag. I've been out of state for a couple of weeks and I was going to try and get the pig today and start looking for bucks tomorrow... I spotted him and another buck at 150 yards, took off my shoes, put on my extra pair of wool socks and stalked to within 20 yards of both of them - I hunt in some thick country. I shot him quartering toward me, arrow through the chest and out the gut. He only made it about 50 yards before laying down forever. He measures 104 gross, 96 net, 17inch main beams with a 16 inch inside spread. Thanks to all the posters for their insight on these deer, it really helped me in my first kill.

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted September 11, 2006 That is one beautiful, symetrical, unique and huge buck!!! Congrats!! Not to take anything away from that buck you killed but it appears to me that he has digressed a little bit? Shorter G2's for instance. If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to know the shed sets gross score using the same spread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilentButDeadly Report post Posted September 11, 2006 He did lose a few inches from last year, his G2's on the sheds are both over 11", his current G2's are only 7.5 inches. Before I had guessed his inside spread to be 12 inches, if he hadn't broken off his G3 I scored him at 110, so add another 4 inches and he would have gone 114. I just used the Boone & Crockett measuring tool online with the measurements we took last night (we only took 3 circumference measurements - so he gains another 5 inches!). He nets 101 6/8, with 3 6/8 in deductions. Subtract again for however much because he is in velvet. Anyway I look at it I am super stoked! I'm on my way to the taxidermist soon - maybe that will cool my fire when I get the bill... Tyson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowsniper Report post Posted September 11, 2006 The only problem with getting such a big buck for your first one is that now you're going to want a bigger one next time! Congrats on a fantastic buck! It takes a lot of skill to spot and stalk a big buck like that! bowsniper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
