Here is a link to a photo of my first Coues buck. I took him on Thursday the 12th while sitting over a water hole. 20 yard shot, double lung, the buck only went about 50 yards and I watched him go down. I was in tree stands for 7 days in three different spots and saw bucks in all three locations. The day I harvested this buck I got into the stand a little later than I wanted, about 8:00 and actually seen this buck chasing a doe about 8:45. Three hours later he approached the tank from the direction the doe had lead him off from and the rest is just a blur. From looking at the teeth he looks like a pretty old buck. This pic doesn't do him justice because his left antler has some other "stuff" on the main beam you can't see from here. I reckon he is probably past his prime and on the down hill slide as far as his anlters go. We rough scored him about 85". I tell you what, this is my first Coues as well as my first deer with a bow and I am hooked!!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, weapon in one hand, calls in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
