    Feel free to point out my ignorance.Sent Today, 02:39 I would like to say the idiots didn't bother me but they did...I frickin hunt HARD and tried hard to convey that with no success.. I'm a high school grad, and that on my own made myself A selfmade millionaire many times over..I don't need or want to share my accomplishments with this site anymore...hopefully we'll meet up someday because I'm just a normal guy and Coues guy with a lifelong passion for Coues , Best regards Brandon McDermott

    http://www.coueswhitetail.com/2012/06/get-your-gun-my-2010-san-carlos-hunt/ here's the link to one of my stories....I've killed 105-109-112-115-141, and a one 164 7/8, and the 12 other 90+" Coues over the years...I let my wife bid on the governors tag for me because I wanted everyone in the room (400 people) to think who is that pretty lady bidding on a Governors tag? lol..also I wanted her to have fun doing it.. And no Jackie's NOT my sugar momma lol we are married. Thanks again for nice comments "as of late" I appreciate it very much! And yes I have plenty of resources to buy the tags for next 10 years

    Incredible buck! That buck in your avatar is a beast as well. Congrats to you, I would be tickled to death to see a buck of this caliber let alone harvest him. Good luck on the rest of your hunting adventures and hope the memories are just as good as harvesting this monster. Thanks that is my 141" Mark Boulanger (Bo) helped me kill.

    I've been told if scored typical (and stripped) which I won't do, it "could" go world record. I don't care about though. I believe the animal deserves to be what he was when he was killed. I thanked that buck for giving his life to me after I shot him. It was a personal moment.

    I paid the most for a Governors Coues tag ever paid, It's public info. I'm going to mount this beautiful animal the way it was killed, in velvet ( Life size).... Ironically I paid 13k more than Shane's buck (2nd action tag), and it scored 13" longer lol.....

    Lol you guys kill me!!! As Paul Harvey would say "here's the rest of the story". Chad from A3 called me because he knew me, and that he might have a buck I'd be interested in. It so happened that that he's friends with Brandon Taylor and (Cuernos outfitters) they sent me some TC pics that I analyzed over and over. I came up with 138-143" and btw I was good with number( TC pics suck!) I called Chad and told him I wanted to go and look at the buck. Loaded my gear that was already put together in a hour, then I was on the road. Met up with Matt from and A3 (badass btw) and Brandon Taylor (Cuernos) and Devin Beck (Both badasses btw) at 8 pm on Tuesday night and we came up with a game plan for the next day...Thursday 4 am sleeping in the back of my Tacoma came early. As I stated before we busted our asses on Thursday all day humping mountains and trying our best for the right shot, I set up the buck 3x at 850yds (which btw I can make) and got a 10 second view of him finally thru 30x binos and said that's a dead deer...But regardless I passed on that shot hoping for a better opportunity that following day. The next day I was scheduled to head back to Phoenix for a business meeting that could not be missed, and as we all were disappointed about that I receive a text that It was cancelled! Yay! I flagged over the entire crew behind me and told them the good news. Everyone was jacked and we knew where we last saw the buck, so the next day Friday we came up with a new plan. We went at first light where we saw him previously bedded down. But he and another 100" buck were moving together Thru the night. And about 7:30 we located him again bedded down below us at 70yds and no shot..so we humped it to the other side of the basin and set up at 550yd. We waited him out with me trying to control my breathing and got settled in for the shot, 30 min went by and he stood up and walked towards us, I asked for yardage and Matt said 500yds, I dialed that off on my turrets and when he turned to the side I shot. Both Matt and Mike were telling great shot, but I wasn't taking any chances I rack another round and immediately back on him, telling them to stop touching me, if he even wiggles I'm gonna drill him again...finally after about a min of hold time I could tell he had expired. Everyone hauled butt over to the buck and I was trailing behind (50lb pack) by about 5 minutes, as I approached the kill spot everyone was already there circled around the buck and KNOW ONE was saying a word. I put down my pack thinking OMG I F up. As I walked up to the kill the circle opened up and everyone started screaming omg!! Wtf just happened!!! There were 7 of the most (seasoned Couse guys) that could not believe what had just happened. I'm not going to lie there were tears in my eyes..we took about 400 pics and shot some video, and then luckily Devin Beck was there for the life cape work (thank god) I fortunately had a tape and we rough scored in the field which I was apart of, and it came out 163"!!! I all most fainted seriously. This buck fooled EVERONE!!! We loaded up and headed back to the trucks and again I was lagging behind in a daze, but ALL my new friends waited for me at the bottom to walk together as the great team we were, I really appreciated that guys! Went back to Devin's house and celebrated, he caped out the head and is going to do a life size mount for me, this is a honor for me because he was instrumental in the harvesting of this beautiful animal. As I was driving home (not intoxicated) I got a call from Chad (A3) and he told me two other people who know how to score both came up with 164 7/8", I couldn't believe it, I had to pull over and take a moment to gather myself. So this was my dream hunt! So hate all u want. Oh and btw I said I have 5 bucks from105-141" I killed on my own, I forgot to mention the other 12 90+" Coues I've killed over this quest. I'm not your weekend warrior lol....thank you all again this means more to me than words can explain. Brandon McDermottt

    Well everyone, I'm the owner of this beautiful creature. It's been a lifetime dream to be in a position to buy the governors tag (bucket list). I'm a AZ native and have been hunting Coues for 35 years, I have killed on my own (5 bucks from 105-141) I train hard every year to hump a 50+ pound pack and I'm not a rich guy that does this for a hobby, Coues are my life! The purpose of the governors tag is to enhance the AZ habitat and "help" the people who draw state tags. And by doing that we get the opportunity to hunt before the state hunts start. I feel bad for a few of the replies that are haters, you'll always be haters. I know you haters would all like to believe that this buck was chained up to a tree and then I backed off and heart shot it at 500yd lol...but the truth is I did hire two outfitters A3 & Cuernos they are both very very good outfitters! The honest truth is the Governors tag politics has been a pain in the butt, I bought the tag with intentions of having a great time but it wasn't working out that way for me in the beginning. But when I met up with Matt, Devin and Brandon Taylor it all changed. We hunted HARD humping miles with lots of gear, set up on this buck 3x at 850 yards and I passed, ran out of light. The second day we went back in and set up two more times and he finally made a mistake. I'm still on cloud 9 and humbled by the chance to harvest a buck of this caliber, it's a buck of 10 lifetimes! After working hard my entire life I'm now in a position to buy the governors tags for the next 10 YEARS! So thank you to the people who supported me and made my dream buck come true. Look for my pics next year for another giant Coues buck because I'll be on here again. Thank you to my wife Jackie McDermott who bought me this tag and to Cuernos and A3! Chad, Jay and Matt.. We all experienced a once in a lifetime opportunity, I have new friends for life now....Brandon McDermott
