Good shooting Adam.. Don't listen to the ethic police to much around here there just jealous they can't shoot a bow that consistant out to 100 yards... If your confident out that far and you know you can hit the vitals more power to you.. Every one who hunts with a bow will lose a deer some time in there life.

Outstanding!!!! Thanks for sharing the story and pic, and congrats on your archery kill!!! I have a question though. I've been a novice archer for several years. By novice, I mean that I never got into it in a hard core way and I don't shoot on a regular basis (hence, I don't archery hunt much...). My question though is regarding your comment about 'holding a little high to compensate for the uphill shot.....'; I always thought you should hold low to compensate for an uphill shot?? Again, being a total novice, I'm interested in this comment so as I grow my skills so I can improve as an archer..... I always thought that given 'physics' and the natural laws of gravity, that you should hold low (with a rifle or bow.....) while shooting on an incline or a decline of any significance.... Is this not true? Any hard-core bow shooters wanna comment please???? Thanks! S. Great job on knocking down the deer, but it does appear you got a bit lucky (which is great). Both uphill and downhill shots drop less then a totally flat shot. Without getting all "physics teacher" on you it has to do with the distance the arrow travels in the plane perpendicular to the gravitational force. Uphill and downhill shots spend less time in that perpendicular plane and therefore drop less. Thanks for the helpful info. I have always known when shooting down hill at steep angles to hold low but I always thought the opposite went for up hill. The last 2 archery bucks I shot uphill I held a tad higher and heart shot both of them So I thought my assumption was correct. Learn something new every day

Congrats, thats a pig

I have a few of these knives and there awesome. I have skinned and boned a few deer with them and its the best knive I have ever used. There so sharp there scarey.

Good luck on finding your buck. Just don't give up . If he is running around with your arrow in him he is damaging his insides pretty well and its just a matter of time till he dies. Coues deer are a tough critter. I have seen them jump off 100 foot cliffs after they got shot, break a leg on the way down, then when you get down to them they jump up and run away from you

Awesome. you can't beat a good old fashion spot and stock archery kill on a coues

Great buck, I think I will guess right at 97 1/8

Great desert buck. Congrats

GO with what displays his best side on his rack first . you can Also try tipping his nose down a bit as well. Brett over at GTT just mounted a muley with the nose tipped down and it really makes the horns look awesome. Maybe he can post the pic of it to give you a idea

Nice job dusty... The cool part about that deer is you have all the video footage of him from your scouting trips there.

Nice buck again Jason. From seeing your buck in person at GTT's taxidermist shop today those pics do not do your buck justice man. The mass on that buck is sick Larry

ALso look around for the closest water from were you shot him. Lots of times they will go water if there hurtin Good luck on finding your buck dude. I know the feeling man. I lost a 200"+ Muley in January of 07 that I had been watching since October of 06.

Glad you got it figured out dude in time for your hunt..

If I had the money I would spend it on the gov. elk tag and mule deer tag in a heart beat.

Those bucks are awesome . you kill a huge buck then you wacked a cool charactor buck. You can't beat that. Congrats on a awesome hunt

I have 2 mature frozen coues capes in my freezer that I need to get rid of. Askin $60 a piece or both for $100 602-469-2254

This gun has been sold!!

I lost a toad of a muley 2 years ago because I let a arrow fly at a quartering away deer. He was right at 60 yards and I thought I could put a arrow in his vitals and I hit him to far back. He was a solid 200"+ 4x4 with deep forks and was over 30" wide. You probaly did the riht thing

Awesome cat.. I like to see all these dead lions being posted here. Is it me or does it seem like more lions are being shot by spot and stalk these days than in previous years ?

He probaly shot a carp and is afraid to post the pics

Congrats on the buck and the lion

Yeah you gots any pics dude ?

Hope you get it figured out dude.

I was helping my buddy on his unit 42 muzzy hunt today. We did not see a deer intell after 2 pm and they were just a huge heard of does. We never saw another deer all day. Tough day for sure

Congrats again on a donkey of a coues. BTW, nice shootin Tex Are you sure you just did not give him a hard attack from all the bad shots ?
