Jnj13 Report post Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM Hadn’t seen much rut activity this Jan until a week ago. After a few days of rain I found 14 bucks all w does. Too many deer on the Mnt to even get in there and hunt one of them. Came back a week later and saw a buck stand up at 8Am w 3 does. Range was 1500 yards. Got the spotter out to check the details. 3x3=go time. Made a plan to get half way and try to relocate. From that spot I couldn’t see into the cut he was working down. I glassed one of his does and decided to close the distance to see if I would be able to see into that cut and maybe make a play. Got to the skyline of that cut with perfect wind and some cover I was able to see the buck behind an ocotillo. Range was 82 yards. I knocked an arrow and dialed the slider to 82. If he steps out I will get a chance. 1 well placed arrow and he ran for 2 seconds. Made a trip to the truck to drop all my gear and hiked back to process him and pack out. I could not be happier. I’ve been trying to do a solo spot and stalk Coues for 10 years now. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted yesterday at 03:58 PM The first one is always the sweetest and the hardest. If you keep at it I bet they will start dropping like flies now! I’ve killed most of my archery Coues solo spot and stalk but nothing beats the first one. Congrats on a great buck and for sticking it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
