“Hey there, I am new to the Coues Whitetail.com. My name is Dave S. I am coues4life on the forum. Anyway my hunt started out with my friend Wade “wklman” getting sick on the way to our spot. But we got through it and the hunt was on. We started our mile and a half hike in and glassed for a few and we didn’t see anything so we ended up going over this saddle in the mountain, and as soon as we started down the other side my buddy Wade saw some deer running up this hillside. So I had just enough time to pull the range finder out and ranged the deer at 367 yards. So I took a look through the scope and the first deer was a big buck. By then he had gone up the hill another 55 yards so I was looking at a 420 yard shot. So I put my sights just above the 400 yard mark and let one go. It looked like I hit him but he slowly started to walk further up the hill and my buddy Wade told me to aim a foot high. So I chambered another one and boom, the deer went down. I couldn’t believe that I had just shot my first coues whitetail. We climbed up the steep canyon and I was amazed at what a great deer it was. He grossed 102 3/8 and nets 101 3/8 and is a perfect 3×3. I would like to give a special thanks to my friend Wade “Wklman” for all he did on the hunt. “
