firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted December 17, 2007 yeah, i got one. not 100". thought he was bigger. ground shrinkage. aint a story i want to say becuase it makes me sick. not cause of the size of the deer, but the rest of the story. he would go about 93" Brian, scott and those who know the story lets just leave it at this for a little while alright? Im pretty upset about the deal and im not ready for the ribbin im gonna get. PS, dad killed about a 88-90 inch buck opening evening. one shot at 531 yds. yes i missed a nice buck opening day. flat out missed. cake shot, 220 yds broadside. missed. happens to the best of us.

Coues Sniper Report post Posted December 17, 2007 Casey, I think you underestimate most of the guys around here, and i can guarantee whatever happened to you has happened to alot of us on here (or worse!). I'm curious as heck, but respect that fact that you don't want to share. Sorry to hear that your hunt didn't turn out the way you wanted, but hope you at least had a good time. Good luck in the future man. Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted December 17, 2007 over scored the buck. shot him in his bed at 360 yds. went over to where he was to finish him. shot him in the head, blew off one side of his antler and busted about 4 inches off of it. A. shot a buck smaller than i wanted. B. Shot him in the head ( and i didnt even need to shoot) but on the plus side. I got to do it all infront of a absoulete coues hunting legend, the best coues hunter in the world. the buck is still the biggest buck i have ever killed. i pretty much feel like dog isshhh right now.

Coues Sniper Report post Posted December 17, 2007 Hey man, it happens to the best of us. Everyone on here who's shot more than one Coues deer has misjudged a buck. I'm certain of that. As far as damaging the horns, they can always be repaired, and I'm sure that you were just trying to put the deer out of his misery. Don't let that ruin what otherwise sounds like a great hunt. And how can you be upset if you killed your biggest buck yet!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
