Congrats again Ernesto! The buck definitely has the WOW factor! The extra special surprise is in the details...tell everyone the inside width measurement.

Here is to one of my favorite guys on the forum. Cheers my friend, enjoy your day. Happy Birthday!

Voted!

That looks great oneshot! Red wine, Brussel sprouts and all! Btw, I love to roast Brussel sprouts in butter and olive oil, cracked black pepper, sea salt, tossed in honey and whole grain mustard. Yum!

LOL! I got the call to check this thread out! Coues deer meat is best described, when compared to "regular table fare" meats, as a mix between veal and baby lamb. If you can imagine a meat that is tender and lean. With a mild nutty and sweet flavor that takes well to marinades and rubs. Not gamey at all, especially when compared to other game meats. I have served (and will continue to do so) Coues venison to unsuspecting guests and they all love it. It's not until afterwards, that I tell them what they are enjoying. I have come to learn, time and time again, that people have a stigma about how game meat "should" taste like. They are always pleasantly surprised. Coues venison is great standing on it's own. In other words, no need for "tricks of the trade" such as wrapping in bacon, or smoking, stewing, to where the meat is non descript. I think this speaks volumes as to the quality and flavor of the meat. Now, in comparison to other game meats, It is more delicate than elk, not "grassy" tasting like antelope, and sweeter in flavor than any of the above. Field prep and proper care of the meat is key. I hope this helps in answering your question and I'd like to hear others' comments on what I had to add.

I just got a message from Amanda... The Coues commissioner tag auctioned and sold for $25k. Nice!

Even as you're so easy going TJ, I can only imagine how ticked you must have been while taking the photos. Even if you don't get a hold of those responsible, you definitely got others' attention.

Congratulations!!!

Happy Birthday! Enjoy it and sure...I'll tip a few back for ya tonight too!

Happy Birthday! Hope you eat well and spend some quality time with those you admire most.

Way to go Peggy! NIce job with the guidin' TJ! I enjoyed the read and am happy you two had a successful hunt. (well, the second day anyway)

I was hoping to make this. I have a wedding to attend. (Not mine, whew!)

Gorgeous wood on her rifle! Thanks for sharing.

Found it... Here you go... http://www.monstermuleys.info/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.pl?az=show_thread&om=9104&forum=DCForumID6&archive=yes#54 Looking back at the dates...Man time flies!

Yes they did. He was a younger kid. Killed the buck with archery equipment. I can't remember if it was out of season, or wrong unit, or? I remember seeing photos of the buck caped out in the kids backyard.

Here is a photo of the buck named "Frito's" after it was poached. this is the same buck as in your photo except it's not Photoshopped.

Ha Ha! Nice try. Yes, this pic has been passed around years ago and yes, it is photoshopped. I do think that buck has been killed too. Actually, even poached.

Lol. *shudder

Very nice. Thanks for sharing with us. A lot better than anything I've ever caught on my trail cams.

Happy to hear she is doing better. Praying for a quick and full recovery. Guam has seedy areas all along that stretch. Hope they find those responsible.
