Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Had a good December (Coues)

Well, we had 3 tags, and killed 3 bucks! I killed a 93", dad killed a 87" and saturday, the third killed a low to mid 90's type buck! not bad! If some one can post the pictures for me, send me a email at Ccrider4t4aol.com or PM me here!

Thanks all!


Ps, we used a 7RUM with 140 accubonds, dropped my dads buck at 531 yards.

7rmm with 160 TSX DROPPED the 3rd buck at 400 yards

270wsm with 140 accubonds did the job on my buck at 360 yards... drilled him just a little low in his bed, then through both shoulders when he got up... follow up shot at 50 yds for good measure. recovered the bullet... perfect mushroom and weighed 91 grains!

Here you go...Nice by the way....congrats!

Thanks Stroke!

Top pic: A buddy of mine with my dads buck. One shot, 531 yards 140 accubond from 7RUM. PERFECT!!! 87"

Second pic, me and my buck. Shot him in his bed at 360 yards, then shot him again when he was walking, right through the shoulders. 270 wsm 140 accubond. He is missing an antler, when we got over to him he tried to get up. I put the cross hairs on his heart, as soon as the trigger dropped, he dropped and put his head infront of the bullet! Bullet entered above the eye, out the back of the head and blew off his right antler! he is 93"

Last pic:Saturday morning, my dad (Mick) my moms boss (Fred) and my self ( Coues killer ) woke up to go find Fred a buck. Well, it was extremly cozy in the trailer and 16 degress outside, so we over slept. We got to out our glassing point which is where I glassed up AzpackNhorns buck at about 8:30. I picked up my Leicas for a quick scan and found some deer! I threw them on my tripod and all I could see was horns! So Fred and myself threw on our packs and away we went! The buck was working his way down a finger, munching on barrel cactus on the way. We got to where I wanted to get and spotted the buck! At the same time that I saw him, he saw me and started off up the ridge. He wasn't spooked, but wasnt hanging around to see what we wanted. I ranged him at 335 trotting. Fred shot and missed low! Up the hill the buck went and fred shot again, JUST infront of him. The buck made it up to the base of the rimrock and I stopped him with a grunt in the best shooting lane possible! I told Fred to shoot him like he was 400 yards and down went the buck! The time was 8:42!!! Twelve minutes into Freds hunt we have a big buck down!

Fred was shooting a 7Mag with 160 TSX and DUMPED this buck!

Great story, looks like the weather was really nice for you guys. Congrats again.

Thx for sharing, aside from bruins and yotes the Cows deer is my all time fav to hunt.

Come on Dober, you know better than to call them Cows

I like coyote hunting too, but theres no way id rather hunt anything else than the coues!

Forgot to mention, glassed up a coupld of dogs on the same ridge as the gut pile on sunday, killed one missed the other on the run at 450 yds.

Kind of brings a whole new meaning to the term cow tipping doesn't it...

Dober

Super sweet man, congrats!

Very Nice

Very cool! I love those Coues deer!

I know I can't afford it but I'd sure like a cows deer hunt this year.... <sigh>

Spot and stalk is the only kind of hunting that winds my clock... All the rest is just stumblin' around in the woods starin' at trees... After awhile they all look the same and I get sick of it.
