kphunter Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Ok, here are the pics: Yes, we were in Mearns country: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/kpa...pg?t=1194926847 Proud wife with her first buck: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/kpa...pg?t=1194926883 The guide had to get a pic too! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/kpa...pg?t=1194926914 One more view from the side: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/kpa...pg?t=1194926968 My first impression when I looked at this buck was that it might be a hybrid. If not, then it's a very "couey" looking mule deer. KP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark-Devin Report post Posted November 14, 2007 So what did your wife think she was shootin' at, a muley or a coues? I sure hope she was holdin' a mule deer tag. Congrats to your wife! Women make awesome hunters...and unlike men they can breed more hunters . I wish my wife was a hunter/huntress (is that politically incorrect). Did you bump a bunch of mearns coveys while you were down there...we saw good numbers. Recruit a friend...take a kid/spouse hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kphunter Report post Posted November 14, 2007 MadDawg: She was definitely holding a mule deer tag. It was quite evident it was a mule deer from the backside. It may be a hybrid, I'll let you know what G&F thinks about it as I sent the unit officer a couple of pics. We did bust a few coveys of mearns and scalies while we were hunting. Can't say they were in great numbers, but they were in there. KP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunter4life Report post Posted November 15, 2007 Congratulations on a fine muley!! It is nice to see all the women out hunting and tagging bucks this year. What makes you think he looks "couesy", as it looks 100% muley to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kphunter Report post Posted November 15, 2007 hunter4life: More or less, the coloration of the deer looks more like a coues than mule deer. But the tail and big ears are all muley! KP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
