MattMan Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Just got my first archery coues on the 2nd, spot and stalk... 20 yard shot. I've gotten a few decent bucks with a rifle, and just got a bow about a year and a half ago. This was by far much more exciting and difficult. He's a 2x3 with a 14 1/2" outside spread. My uneducated tape got about 72" gross score. Second year in a row I can't participate in the fall draw since getting a bow... and it was worth every second.

standman Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Congrats on a successful hunt. I don't think there is anything more difficult than spot and stalk hunting coues with a bow. He'll be a trophy to remember for a lifetime. I'm trying to miss the fall draw for the second year in a row, the wait is always worth it. Hope to see some pics. Once again, congradulations.

MattMan Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Thanks for all the congrats... the one picture that came back turned out kinda bad. There's a few more on another roll of film, just gotta burn up the rest of the roll. Just got my wife a bow this past weekend so she can start shooting.

galiuro mountain man Report post Posted January 16, 2004 That is awsome that you got your wife a bow. My wife already shot a bow when I met her, now she is shooting my moms. I think after I get her a car, I will get her a brand new bow so she can use it in Aug. I also got my moms rifle for her, and she is going to be lion hunting with me soon. It is awsome to hunt with your wife, we had a blast in dec. even though we froze. Good luck GMM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Impact Report post Posted January 16, 2004 (edited) My wife also just started with a bow and she loves it. We got her the little Parker. It is light and she can shoot the heck out of the thing. Congrats on your deer! I had a Dec tag and hunted my legs off to get a small 2x2. I get more excited when she gets something than when I do. She shot a nice 300 bull this year in the rifle season and can't wait to get it back to hang on the wall. The photos are in a post called advice on 24a. Hunting with the family is pretty cool, I have two small boys that are starting to hit it with us to. Can't beat it.
