100"+ Coues
« on: January 10, 2011, 01:24:40 PM »
Nice buck I got in AZ two days ago.  Hunting with Joebear - the other guy in the picture with me.  He got a buck the day before I did.  He may post some pictures, too.

this was a great hunt! I guess if you dont know about coues deer then you might not understand how hard it is to be successful on these lil guys. Matt made a great shot on this deer after I called him into a good distance. the day before I was able to put an arrow threw a young coues deer at 35 yards and like I said if you know about coues 35 yards is close!
work hard and reap the reward or dont and get left behind!!!

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

OOF-Da.   That first one is a whooper for a Coues.   I'm no Coues expert, but I used to see a fair amount of them when I used to bear hutn down there.    That top one beats any Coues buck I've ever seen, and to gt it with a bow, no less.

Huge Kudo's to you, sir.

The only decent Coues bucks I ever saw were either 1,000 yards away or running away like mad.... or both.

Congrats.  I'm jealous.  Both of those are trophies for sure. 

That's one of my dream hunts.  To have the extra time and money (sigh).  Maybe when I'm retired  :dunno:

That is a huge Coues.  Don't see them that big that often.  To take it with archery equipment even better.
