sherman Report post Posted October 31, 2013 Well I am so proud of my wife I started to teach her the art of Coues deer hunting 4 years ago and I could not say how proud I feelmto see her comming so far so fast. I know most post like this are of dad's with there kids but she is my first student. When her and I where married she never shot a gun or owned one. That is the back story. This was her 4th tag she has killed 2 2x2. Opening day we soptted 2 spikes running together and she wouldn't take the shot she said she wanted a 3x3 to put on the wall. We hiked and hiked and glassed and glassed. Putting up with 80º days and wind. We did however find some really nice deer but just couldn't make it come together. Sunday found us at home with our son (coues hunter) with a fever. We thought we got him all better and off we went out on Monday. Babysitter called he puked. Well we go pick him up and he is all smiles so we go out with the 2 kids. We see nothing. Tuesday found upmin a canyon get a good buck up nothing happened wife said she thought it was the wind agan. Then way home we spot a little buck she puts a little stock on him no luck.today we go out wind is very little and see 19 doe no bucks bummer. We hike and glass from sun up to noon take a short nap and back at it til4:30we get back to truck and make a plan to go to our fafavorite glassing spot til sun down. Before we get there this guy jumps out and with the squeeze of the trigger of her 700 .270 with 130 gr sst it flopped over. I am so proud. I guess pink camo works lol 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
