Coues Sniper Report post Posted November 7, 2007 My cousin drew a "Partner's in Wildlife" tag here in Nevada, (which means he could hunt any open season in the state) and killed an absolute pig of a deer. He actually decided to hunt the rifle season in a unit i had a tag for (which surprised me, i think i would have been elsewhere), but that was cool because it meant we could hunt together. Anyhow, i got a phone message at about 9:30 in the am on the last day of season from my uncle saying they had killed a "monster". At first I thought they were pulling my leg, but I called them back and could tell they were pumped and they told me he was huge and was an 8x11! I dropped everything and headed to where they were and about fell over. He's only 20 1/2" wide inside, but he's great everywhere else and his mass is off the charts at 43"! His bases are both right at 7". 19 scoreable tines. Just a great, great deer. We rough scored him at over 220". Tyler is only 18 years old, and they were hunting without a guide. The best part is they actually killed him 300 yards off a road! Here I am hiking all over creation, and they kill a toad from the flippin truck. Figures! I'm the ugly guy on the left UPDATE Just wanted to give an update on my cousin's deer - he had him officially scored and even though after the drying period he was only 19 3/4" wide he ended up grossing 231" and netted 221 3/8"!!! I've never heard of a buck going that high with a spread of less than 20"! Lucky kid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues Sniper Report post Posted November 7, 2007 Congrats to your cousin. You got any pics of your other cousins drop tine buck ? Thanks man! And sorry bro, there are no pictures of that deer, lol. Let's just say that they over-estimated that buck- by a long ways. He was a little disappointed since he had passed on several deer bigger than that and forgot to take any pictures. He's about a 150" buck with a 4" drop off his left side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
