WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted December 1, 2020 My son has killed a couple mule deer but this year he killed his 1st Coues. Due to his school schedule he wasnt able to scout with me. I scouted 3 different weekends and with it shaping up to be a tough hunt we decided to hunt this buck. I actually figured he was smaller than he is. We were both happy as we walked up to him. We started our hike at 2am and made it to where he was by 6:15. Shot shortly after. Good scouting and a good plan worked out perfectly. Made an absolute perfect shot in front right shoulder/heart at 380yards. Bonus Rams during scouting 41 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted December 2, 2020 Thanks guys it is always fun hunting with your family. Funny story is that he runs cross country and track and he talked a little smack about this ol man keeping up with him. Little did he know that I am still in decent backpacking shape and since I was splitting the load up I made sure to load him up a little heavier than I normally would. 9 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddielasvegas Report post Posted December 2, 2020 Congrats! And not on the buck, but letting the young whipper snapper know the old man still rules. 😁 Eddie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
