2006-2007 Coues Whitetail Buck Contest

Monster Muleys.com and CouesWhitetail.com will be sponsoring a COUES BUCK CONTEST again for the second year. The contest's purpose is to garner interest in the beloved coues whitetail and these websites, and to share our hunt successes and pleasures from the field chasing the gray ghost.

This contest will be open to registered members of Monster Muley.com and CouesWhitetail.com and their immediate families living at home (husband or wife, sons & daughters under 18). Deer must be taken between September 1, 2006 and January 31, 2007 from Arizona, New Mexico or Mexico. If you have multiple tags, i.e. from different states, you may enter deer from each hunt.

Categories (9):

You may also send a small financial donation to help with shipping of the prizes to the winners. Prize packages, and the number of places, will depend upon the number of prizes donated.

To enter your deer
1) e-mail Doug/Red Rabbit a field photo of you and your deer, its gross B&C/P&Y score, hunt unit and date killed. Amanda will then post your picture on the home page.
2) You are certainly encouraged to post your picture and hunt story in the regular forums. If you have difficulty posting a picture, this thread may help, or asking another member will certainly get it done.

Scoring your deer. Amanda has a nice ?how-to? on the home page complete with photos, instructions and downloadable score sheets. Again, the gross score is needed for this contest.

We were watching a bigger buck all day waiting to make our move and this buck showed up. They started to chase does and this buck trailed off over a ridge alone. So I just figured where he was going and ran as fast as I could around the back side of the ridge and got set up. He walked right up and was facing me at 15 yards, I had a little window over a bear grass and under an oak limb to drop the arrow in. It all happened so fast I didn't even have time to get worked up and mess it up!!!!

(He has a little inline point on that left antler, but it is not coming off the top of the beam so we didn't score it as a 3x3?????)
 
Today, Jan 31, is the last day to shoot your buck for the contest. Feb 15 is the last day to send your pic and gross score to me, if you had entered and were successful. If you do not see your buck's picture posted above in this thread, please send it to me. dkoepsel (at) aol.com
