elkhunter Report post Posted October 31, 2017 Fiance had her first big game hunt in Feb, she smoked a javi and shortly after wanted to get a crack at a coues hunt. We spent time shooting, reloading, practicing all scenarios. Pulled a few overnight camping trips scouting and found bucks she'd love to bring home. Opening day at first light- this buck was on the hit list and was hanging out in the saddle we seen him in during scouting, he was roughly a mile out. We began the stalk when he settled on a barrel cactus eating the fruits. We crested a hill and it was 370 yards and no way to get closer. Nothing but loose rocks and cat claw between us and the buck. I told her we'll have to shoot from here and do everything we've been practicing when out shooting. She was cold blooded, got the rifle set up, took her time and said I'm ready, after the crack the buck hunched up went down 10 yards and piled up. It was a fun hunt in a new unit! 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
