My Oct Coues buck! Our Oct Coues bucks!

Recommended Posts

Due to the hunting situation I did not get field photoes. That is VERY unlike me! But My family and I did get off of the mountain that night before 9pm and the only one that was realy dead was my buck. The rest of us were just "mostly dead"! :( :P

 

 

But here are some photoes I got off the video camera through the spotting scope just before the shelling commenced! ;)

 

I rough scored him at camp at 103" gross. That includes a 1 3/4" cheater by his eyeguard! The guys at the "CWT get together in the 36's" got to see him in person.

 

I'll try to get some pictures of me holding it on here latter but thought these would be cooler anyway! ;)

He was with another great buck that was a little smaller. I did not get his picture. But they were right where I had missed a shot at a great pair of bucks last year. :huh: It would be cool if it was the same one!

That's awesome Lance! I can't wait to see the rack in your hands. I heard about it and wished I made it to the get together to see it! It would have been almost a 2 hour drive for us one way! I found bucks by going to the same places where we saw bucks last year and surprisingly found bucks in almost the same exact spots this year! I never realized how habitual they can be! Congrats on a great buck! JIM>

My wife spotted my buck for me so I returned the favor and spoted this awtsome 5x5 for her (5"x5") to return the favor! This was her first Coues buck. Good trade huh! ;) She made a perfect 340 yard shot on Monday morning just before she had to go home. All in all between a couple of units on this Oct hunt we took 7 out of 9 tags. 3 of them over 90"! My 11 year old boy Ty didn't get one this year, he did shoot 5 times at two different deer and hunted hard all week. What a trooper!

 

We spotted a MOUNTAIN LION twice during the hunt and we never did get a shot at him :( But our cousin did hit a BEAR on the Sasabe Hwy! :huh:

 

We saw Lions, Coti's, illegals and bears OH MY! And Coues bucks every day!

 

Maybe TINES will post some of the other pictures. ?

Congratulation Lance and to all your crew! It was nice meeting up on that hill didn’t mean to drive up on you guys just trying to figure out the country. I did not shoot a buck but glassed 7 bucks - just could not locate the shooter buck.

We took a trip to the taxidermist and took some pictures of our bucks while there.

 

Here is my buck from all angles.

No problem. If you are on a road you got to expect to be driven up on. Just like I did to you that morning I guess. :rolleyes: ;) We found a spike and a three point together that night and my wife got three shots but didn't conect.
