slopoke36 Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Took me several years to learn this area with countless glassing sessions. I know there are bigger bucks in there than the one I shot last year and this year but they are tough to sneak up on (you all know that). I shot this deer a hundred yards from the spike I shot last year, one hour apart in time difference, and 364 days later. Crazy huh? When I first came upon this little guy, he was at 40 yards and feeding towards me. It was fun to watch him do his thing for a while. He got to about 28 yards and we started to play this cat and mouse game of him looking at me and then go back to feeding. He was having a hard time figuring me out. Wind and camo were in my favor. It was hard to wait and not move. I don't know how many times I told my self in my mind to "don't move". Once I felt that I had a good shot and he was feeding I pulled back and let one fly. I shot him quartering to me. Arrow went in his front right shoulder and out his rear left quarter. Full pass through. He went about 30 yards and piled up. I know he isn't a monster of a deer but these Coues deer are tough to hunt and I consider him a trophy and a lot of meat in the freezer. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Great job and a coues with a bow is an accomplishment, but I will have to respectively disagree with one of your statements. " and a lot of meat in the freezer." 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

" and a lot of meat in the freezer." Haha. I was thinking the same thing! Nice work on the buck, and it'll be some really good meat, but I don't think there'll be a "lot" of it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
