azpackhorse Report post Posted December 17, 2007 Heck Casey, I misjudged one just this Saturday, looked at him for hours and had him pegged as a 100"er. We got my buddy's dad on him, got him on the ground and dead and I'll be darned if that buck wernt a 107"er so cheer up little buddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazyaboutcoues Report post Posted December 17, 2007 Don't beat yourself up too much; you have a long hunting career ahead of you. I'm sure you'll have plenty of good tags before it's all over with. You still have Mexico for that 100"er Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TATAat27 Report post Posted December 18, 2007 Thats a tough one, unfortunately its gonna hurt for a while. Just get that 100"er in Mexico and it will soon be forgotton. Maybe not by all of us , but you'll at least be able to get some sleep at night. We all have stories where we messed up, thats hunting. Wheres the pics? Congrats on the buck, a 93"er is nothing to sneer at or even an 89"er for that matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzPacknHorns Report post Posted December 18, 2007 Come on Casey cheer up dude its not the end of the world. We all want to kill a 100" buck every time we step into the woods but that dosent always happen a 93" buck isnt to shabby. Yeah it does suck that you accidently shot the horn off, but from what you told me I dont think it will be impossible to fix. I had a good time huntin with you opening day,and packing your dads buck out almost killed us but that was fun to. All in all I think you had a good hunt so try to look on the bright side, we will have plenty more opportunities to bag that 100" toad!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues Sniper Report post Posted December 18, 2007 sure wish my problem was the same way instead of inverse! Dude, i chased a buck for 3 solid days one year that i swore was 108, and when i finally got him killed he went 100 even. I had 3 days to score him and missed by 8"! 2 years ago i jumped a buck with a buddy of mine that i thought looked good so i got ready to shoot, my buddy tells me he's 105 EASY so i whack him and he goes 98! When we were walking up to him he said he was pretty sure he was over 110, boy was he surprised when we got up to that deer. It stinks, but it happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YOUNGGUNZ Report post Posted December 18, 2007 heres whats left of mine. To me the worst thing is that you have that horrible shirt on. I wouldn't be advertising that I was a Caballero Calm down, that is still a very good Buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted December 18, 2007 When I was a Cab, we would whoop anyone at any time in any sport ( that I played, the others sucked lol). Dads buck is about 88" according to my tape, and mine with a 14" spread ( which is about what he had) goes 92 6/8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
