otdrsman Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Hey everyone, I've been sitting in the backfield enjoying everyone's posts for the past year or so and thought I would finally post a pic of my opening day Coues. I shot a nice one last year and was fortunate not only to draw another tag in the same area but to top it with this years. I had a great DIY hunt and deffinately worked for this one. I'd scouted the area pretty hard with good success and when I showed up 2 days before opener for some touch up glassing, I couldn't find anything except my shadow at 4am. Opener, I was at my spot glassing my ridge and spotted a bear at 150 yds with no bear tag!!! No deer on that ridge so I ended up spinning 180 degrees and found this guy at about 1 1/2 miles away as he walked over a ridge. I eventually made it to where he went over only to find chest high thick manzanita and no deer! I ended up sitting and glassing for a while with no luck and then decided to sneek my way in. I walked about 20 yards and he jumped up out of his bed at 100 yards. Hope everyone enjoys the pic. Thanks, Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
