hunterofcoues Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Went deep into the Chiricahua wilderness and woke up to a glassing nightmare fog until 10 AM. Friday was shot. Friday sucked. Saturday morning we saw a really wide non-typical coues, but he did not present a shot. Sunday morning, more does, bucks missing. Sunday afternoon, 2PM, six deer feeding at 200 yards. While trying to find the hidden buck, a 3 point walks by at 75 yards. My buddy got him. I imagined a spike in the group of deer so I continued after them. I caught back up to them in 30 minutes and waited for them to feed into a meadow where I had a probable shot. They picked up my scent and bolted, I cursed the swirling wind. Before I could plan anything further, a separate buck trots into the meadow exactly where the other six deer left. A 4X3 with double eye guard! My first coues deer, my buddies first coues!!! What a hunt. Emailing pictures to Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coueshunter Report post Posted November 13, 2004 congrats to both of you. You will have the fever like I got a couple of years ago and this is the best/toughest/greatest deer to hunt. Coues was my last deer to finish the grand slam of deer (all 5 B&C deer Muley,N. whitetail, columbian blacktail, sitka blacktail & coues) coues is the hardest and most enjoyable to hunt. You are sick/diseased/corrupted like the rest of us.........LOL........congrats again and I cant wait to see your pictures...........Allen Taylor........
