Daniel in Ak Report post Posted November 9, 2004 And I copied my old post,so it's all here in one post for you fellas. I know there's a bunch of you fellas out there hunting Coues now,and I thought I'd help fire you up a little. This bad boy which I did not harvest was harvested by a friend in Nov of 1996.The thing was I put him one that should have gone about 115,and this fella was supposed to be one canyon over. This one has 13 scorable points,and at the time I was helping another friend track his biggest Coues he's ever shot. And when he finally got a hold of me,he wanted me to accompany him to check him in,since I was nice enough to share my knowledge. I scored everything and came up with 143.Wish I had my measurements I took. The split eyeguard is just so cool! Heck the entire rack is awesome,short on top but nice. Sad news was the night before he was to take him to Tucson to have it scored,his little girl knocked it off from the top of the microwave and broke the skull plate Ok! Bullwidgeon here is another buck that I put another friend on.This was also his biggest Coues to date.This one in-fact was the smallest that year that I help'd anyone harvest for Coues.He went just over 90 This one was harvested over on what us local call Hwy 101,dont ask lol! Anyhowhead out of S.V.towards Hereford and go to Coronado and go over the pass like your going to Parker Canyon Lake. Look on a map and when you finally desend off the Mtn basically there is one road that shoots straight into Mexico,and brother trust me you might miss the marker like I did and I came out in Nogales,Mexico..........that's a whole 'nuther story. Once the road gets to the border it parallels it.Along your way in keep an eye out to the left/East and you'll see a windmill,you can park along here and wait in the truck for deer to come for water,or go to the east side of it and glass the drainage that the deer come out of. Trust me there are Coues down in there.This one was shot late in the afternoon,and my buddy actually got out of the truck and snuck towards to cut down on the shot distance.I want to say he shot it over 300 yards away???? I dont rememeber. I hope ya'll can make out that he's a 3x4 not counting eye guards.Yeah! He was excited and my future wife help'd pack this one out and she' brought it into our livingroom gotta love her.Daniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
