Yep. Sorry to see a rifle has to go but that is one heck of a Coues buck. Maybe you could put up a little detail about that buck in this thread and we’ll keep her up top with questions till you sell it! My goodness that is a tremendous Coues!

I’d also be interested in a tutorial of how you got all your group information on that photo...

Thanks, that'd be great. It's a cool story, all started one day when I found this shed.

 

[Steve O]

Yeah that would definitely get my attention!

I was pumped to find it. Knew I needed to look around to try to find the other side, then when I did I couldn't even believe what I was looking at.

Sam, did you find that buck in the summer scouting after you found the sheds? Did you hunt him in early archery? Which rifle season did you hunt?

 

[Sam Aspacher]

Didn't hunt the summer archery, to me it's too early and a lot of the bucks are still soft and have more to grow. Decided to do the first rifle season. Would've been an incredible archery buck but had missed out on some seriously giant bucks in the past few years and just needed a win. Ran cameras in the summer though. Only got two pics I think, don't think I even got to see them till a week before the opener. Evening before was my first time glassing for him and turned him and a smaller buck up at last light when they walked out into a big opening. Got some footage of him then hiked back down to camp for the night. Glassed him in the same place opening morning at first light. Could've been over in the first minute but just didn't feel right to cut the hunt that short. Filmed and watched in the spotter for almost an hour then decided it was time to take him home.

That’s such an incredible buck. So cool you had history with him before getting him!
