mattobertin Report post Posted November 23, 2007 Well I finally bagged a coues! It was the last day of the hunt and was trying to locate two bigger bucks that I saw disapear and bed down in a thick pocket with no avail, when my partner tells me he has a doe in the bino's. He was trying to explain to me where he saw the doe and I put my bino's up and saw a nice buck! To make a long story short I got up on a ridge about 400 yards from him and made a perfect shot! I know he is not a record book deer but what would you guys say he might score? I know these pics are'nt very good for scoring but I just want a rough estimate. He has pretty good mass that you can't really judge from these pics and I do not have any side pics of him until he comes back from the taxidermist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattobertin Report post Posted November 23, 2007 Congrats on your coues buck . Its hard to tell from these pics but , I'll go out on a limb and guess he is close to 70 . Yeah I wish I had some better pics of the side view he is bigger than he looks in these pics but I was kinda guessing 70-80 as well. Thanks for all of your feedback!

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Congratulations! Hard to say the score based on those pics, but the 70-80 inch estimates seem reasonable to me. If you want to try your hand at scoring him, here is a link to the How To Score section on the website. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/how_to_score..._Coues_deer.htm Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
