TexasHunter Report post Posted October 30, 2006 So my hunt started out good. I saw lots of deer first thing in the morning and I knew it was a good sign. I saw a few bucks a few doe. Well little did I know what the evening would bring. In the evening I decided to sit a water tank that had a lot of sign around it. Well I had been sitting and glassing for about 3 hours when I finnally saw a deer. It was about 5 o'clock. It was a doe and I decided I would take a picture of it for my girlfriend. Well I reach down in my pack and pulled out the cam found the "doe" where it just had come over the hill and took a pic. Then I relized after I put the binos back on the deer that it wasnt the same deer. I couldnt tell, yet, if it had antlers because its head was down grazing. Well after about a minute of standing 100 yards a way broadside the deer lifted HIS head and revealed the biggest rack I have ever seen in person. A wide fat 4x4 so I put my glass down and grab my gun and just as I get my gun on him he walked over the ridge. Well by this time its almost to late to shoot so I decide to try and make it around the back of the ridge quickly to see if I could get a shot off. Well I guess I should have been quikly and QUIETLY because I got to the other side just in time to see him running off into the distance. Then saturday I decided to shoot a smaller deer out of frustration. Well atleast I got some good meat in the freezer. And A great story to tell. Hopfully nobody gets himm and I can find him next year. If I get drawn F&^%^&G arizona. Any way it was a 3x2 that I ended up shooting. I will get pics up when I can. Here is the pic of the huge buck Here is the one I shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ernesto C Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Frustration?? I'm trying to understand here. Why are you frustrated?? Harvesting a buck is a blessing and a bonus to the hunt. Heck, many of us will love the opportunity just to be out there, even with out harvesting a buck....just the opportunity to be out there............. Well, now I dont know if to congratulate you or not but any way......God bless you and your buck is 4 times bigger than the one I took last year and 5 times bigger than the one Casey took.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Well, I certainly can understand the frustration, but at least you got to see a great buck and harvest a nice buck too! And now you know where to hunt next year if you get a tag. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TexasHunter Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I am vary happy that I got to harvest a coues. And I feel vary lucky just to have seen a huge deer like that just upset with myself for not paying closer attention to what was going on. I am always thankful for the oppertunity to take any kind of game from birds to elk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
