Lookin4amonster Report post Posted January 2, 2014 This year my dad, brother & I got lucky enough to draw 3 december coues tags. We've hunted this unit for 15+ years, but never had the privilege of hunting at the same time. We typically hold off going the opening weekends, and save our hunt for the time between Christmas and New Years, this year was no exception. The first buck we were lucky enough to harvest was my dad's. He got into camp Friday afternoon after working his butt off the previous month. We went out early Saturday morning to 3 different spots, and right as my butt hit the rock I would be sitting on all morning, I heard a shot come from my dad's direction. I turned on the radio to hear my dad say he had taken a really nice buck, but until I got over there, I didn't know just how nice. We didn't officially score it, but the guesses from people who stopped by camp had it at anywhere from 100-109". He has a lot of mass, and some cool junk. It's my dad's largest buck, and for all the time he's put into hunting these ghosts, no one deserves it more. The second buck taken was mine. On Monday morning we went to a spot a little NW of where my dad got his, and right at first light, this little 3-point stepped out at 300yds. A couple shots later, and he was on the ground too. I never like having to do follow-up shots, but sometimes it's out of our control. I'm just glad the buck is in my freezer instead of off wounded somewhere. My brother unfortunately didn't see many bucks at all, let alone get a shot. We all had a great time though, and it was a heck of a way to finish 2013. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
