Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Well I'm really proud of my wife, Tina.... she smoked up this Mulie buck at 200 yds opening morning of her deer hunt. I was Coues deer huntin' in another unit and she was hunting with my Deer Huntin' Brother, Jason Scarbrough, his son (Justin), my Son (Colton) and another hunter (14yr old, Luke). The boys had been watching this tall 4x4 buck for a while and decided that he was the best buck in Jason's Honey Hole,so they took Tina out there the night before the hunt to look him over and she liked him.... giving him the name "The Old Man". The next morning an hour before sun up... full moon..... found them sitting on the hill waiting.... and waiting.... Jason spotted bucks in the dark sparring in the yellow grass 2 draws away. As it approached shooting light they watched the group of bucks move behind the hill. Jason made the call to move across the drainage to the next ridge in the grey light. As they reached the next rise it was just at legal shooting light..... they eased over the edge and began to glass. There on the hill at 175 yards stands a big 3x3 with a sticker point.... and Tina was tempted.... she puts the rifle on him and says, "He's nice, Jason. I'm gonna take him." Just then, Luke says, "Wait! There is The Old Man! He's up and to the right of the big 3x3! Get him Tina!" Tina repositions her shooting sticks on the buck just as sun beams started to crest the horizon. Jason says, " Tina, wait till he gives you a full broadside..." Seconds drag..... the buck moves... turning slightly.... Jason leans in Tina's direction... "Tina, Shoot wh--- BOOM! ---enever...." Jason Jumps.... and so does the Buck..... Jason thought she missed and says, "Gitt'im again!" .... and then follows with, "Never mind.... he's down!!!" A double lung shot parked him about 30 yards from where she shot him. He went down in some brush with his head up, as they approached the buck they began to think he might just be bedded... so they stalked him again... But he was done. Thanks again to my buddy, Jason, and the Boys for a great hunt for Tina (Mom). God, I love my wife! Not only does she let me be gone for weeks at a time hunting, but she hunts too!!!!
