mighteywhitehunter Report post Posted January 4, 2014 I have been trying to draw a Coues Deer tag for 3 years now and I finally drew one. This is my first post here but I would like to thank everyone here for their posts because the info I gathered here from "Lurking" as well as many hours on google earth, BLM and Forest Service Maps and reading Duwane Adams book " How to Hunt Coues Deer", led me into the area I eventually hunted and took this deer from. I hunted/scouted this area from the 10th of dec to the 16th of dec. I saw many nice deer and 1 that I tried to connect with but didn't...I estimated him to be around 90in. The second trip out to the desert I spent Xmas with my Grandparents as well as celebrated my Grandfathers 90th Birthday before heading back down to hunt on the night of the 27th. I hunted all day on the 28th I passed on 2 bucks in the 80in range but didn't see anything better. The next morning I started glassing and I finally picked up this buck in the glass, my heart jumped! He was a mile away but I knew that he was the buck I drove 10hrs for! I hiked for 35 min or so to finally put my self in range of the buck as he was chasing a doe around and ended up getting really lucky with a 200yd chip shot from my .270wsm. I rough scored the buck at 103" gross. Also thanks to Cody from Outdoorsmans for the tips on field judging these awesome deer. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

308Nut Report post Posted January 4, 2014 Very cool. What bullet is that? I'd review the SCI score sheet. He sure looks bigger than 103". Not that it matters. That's a great buck. Congrats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
