Jim- I agree completely. I had a 100+ inch buck bed about 3-4 hundred yards away in some thick brush and a small 2 point a hundred yards away and I didn't even go over to where the big buck was, I knew I had to shoot a small buck before I could even try again at a big buck. I'm also thinking I need to go shoot another mulie since it has been awhile since I drew blood with my bow.

I saw one this past week in 33 on the Mt Lemmon/Oracle road, was on the tailgate of a truck, didn't get to see what color or make. i was in my little toyota tercel with the sticker on the back window.

Well thanks all, maybe I'm not hopeless. I've shot elk and one mule deer with my bow, javelina, bunch of rabbits, quail etc... so I'm not quite a newbie but I can't seem to stay calm on a coues. Maybe after my first one I'll calm down a little bit.

stealth/stalker both sound good to me. Those are great bucks, I'm still working on my first arrowed coues. Awesome

That sucker is a monster!! SWEET It almost made me want to chase carp instead of Coues the next few weeks. almost Congrats to the hunter.

bowsniper- I saw bucks pushing does between 4000-5500 I didn't look much lower or higher though. A friend was glassing some steep peaks at elevations over 5500.

I don't know much about moon phase, and it is quite hot, but I have been down in 33, 4 days spread out over the last week and a half and every day bucks were chasing does. I saw 4 bucks chasing the same group of does yesterday. I talked with a friend that guides/lives there and his client stalked a couple of big bucks yesterday that were pushing does around.

Congrats on the nice first Coues buck, too bad your wife didn't make it with you, but at least she's feeling better.

Rich- First off cool story, and great can't wait to see pictures. As have been said many, many times, score doesn't have the final say in how many memories you'll keep. Glad to hear about your dad, hope he continues to get better.

Sweet hunt and story, congrats on the bucks, I'm sure that weed was headed to some of my neighbors. Thanks

I agree awesome stories and pics

Scott this is perhaps the sweetest hunt I've ever been involved in, AND i'm only involved in reading and looking at the pictures. Awesome. Thanks and good luck on monday. You'll find a shooter for sure

Awesome buck I was in 33 yesterday and saw a bunch of does and a mid 80's buck on the trail of one of the does, he spent all morning with her and bedded down close to her. The rut is starting to pick up even though it was in the high 70's yesterday.

Sweet buck. nice pics

Sweet Amanda, very nice I hope it all works out with a nice shooter buck. Awesome pictures.

Hey Terry, I'm headed out on wed night and Fri. I'll give you a holler if I find anything worth looking at. Houston

Man nice buck, at least the side that has two is still very impressive. Very nice

Great find, thanks

That is a very nice buck. I would guess he grosses 108-114 but who knows great buck.
