Last Chance Coues Buck!

Recommended Posts

After hunting first weekend and not seeing much, I decided to go out for one more morning hunting the last Friday of the hunt...just before the crowd showed up. Well it payed off. I glassed this buck up at over 500 yards walking away. Watched as he went around a ridge out of site. I grabbed my gear and ran down the rim to get a better look. Couldn't find him walking...so he must have bedded. So I went down into the canyon to further glass (Disect), still nothing. I was thinking I woud have to go down and bust out of the bed. I knew he was too good of a buck to not bust him out. About the time I decided to do that, I heard rocks crash and I saw him running, so I layed down and got a rest and in the limited time I had to get the only shot, I was able to close the deal.

 

I have hunted Coues all my life and so far he is my favorite harvest. I hope you enjoy. Check out the fork on G2. He also had a kicker out of the right base 2". What makes him cool is the dark antlers and the great mass!

That thing is a dream. Nice mass all the way through out the rack. And yes great character on that Rack.

I (and lots of others here) would hope to have a buck that nice in our binoculars, let alone get a shot and make the kill.

Great Deal! Congratulations!

Nice to see nobody has asked the score......cause it don't matter on a buck like that!
