Double Bucks down

Recommended Posts

So a good buddy of mine have hunted Coues for years had a great day. Our other good friend was on the glass and the two of us on the rifle. Bucks glassed at 380 yrds and after a little adjustment we both were in shooting position. His buck stood first and after a few minutes which felt like hours it turned for him and his 270 win dropped it where it stood

 

So the lucky or crazy part is my deer never stood up but shot like a low crawl five feet into a mesquite. Guy on the glass said sit tight all good while I tried to aquire it in scope but it was buried. First shooter got on his glass and they both calmed me down for my shot. Finally it stepped out just above some prickly pear and turned quarter to me. Good squeeze and a short stumble of 20 yrds it was buried up in a Palo dead

 

Double down. Wow. One is hard enough and they never do what you want but they finally did

 

My buddy Woody who shot the bigger one will read this but hasn't joined site yet. Come on Woody join the site. Haha

 

One pic shows them in bed. One deer easy to find see if you can find the second

 

Thx to firstcoues80 for the advice on using barnes bullet in my 257 wby
