    Found a very nice buck the Wednesday before the hunt started. It was a nice coues buck probably in the mid to upper 90s. Opening morning we were able to locate the buck and get to within 150 yards of the buck bedded. Brother ended up missing the buck after he got out of his bed and would never stop moving for a good shot. He finally stopped at 400 yards and my brother shot barely missing him. He was bummed but I told him to keep his head up the hunt just started. We moved country and found this buck bedded around 1230 in the after noon. After a quick stock and a 270 yard shot this buck was all his and he couldn't be more excited!!

    This year was one that I will remember forever. I've been on a lot of coues hunts but this is my first coues tag of my own. I had the first hunt in 31 and was super excited to see what this year would bring. With all the moisture we received this year I knew there would be some great bucks hitting the ground. Opening morning came and went which ended up resulting in me missing an absolute giant which we thought would go around 110-115. I kept my head up and kept hunting knowing there would be another opportunity through out the day. The last hour of light of opening day I ended up finding this buck and dropping him in his tracks at 280 yards. Next it was my girlfriends turn. She usually hunts mule deer but unfortunately did not get a tag this year. I ended up getting her a leftover tag for unit 32 and with not much hope of finding a good buck we decided to hunt an area I have never been in before. We got out there Saturday evening and set up camp. Sunday morning was super windy but I was able to locate this buck and she laid the hammer down at 380 yards. To say I was amazed was understatement. She had just killed a 100 inch buck and this was our first time ever looking at this country. I think she might be hooked for life now.

    Good job on a big pigalina! Congratulations! Especially cool you let others shoot first, first timers I assume? You didn't say, but did any of those people get one?

    My buddy shot a little sow and my uncles resulted in a blown stock! Put a buddy in a herd today! He missed but still had a great time

    />Congratulations on a big pig. Nice of you to think about others getting a shot before you take yours. Thanks for sharing and happy eating. How do you prepare your pig for the table? Sausage is a really good way to go and it's easy to make.

    Got my 2014 pig today! Been hunting this little suckers hard since the first! Had some opportunities but let others shoot first! And I even missed one at 16 yards (still kicking myself for that one)! But finally connected today on this big sow! Couldn't be happier!
