One GOOD thing about Coues deer, is their comfort zone seems to be right about 300 yards. I killed a coues deer a couple years ago at 296 yards. He knew we were there, but wasn't bothered... Until he stood up and got a 100 TTSX through the lungs.
On the other hand, a 100 pound Coues deer can take up lead like you would not believe. I hunted with a guy in Mexico a few years ago who was shooting a (it was either a 338 win mag, or 300 RUM, cant recall). Anyways, his statement was "As long as I nick him, hes dead..." 5 shots later, the buck falls over dead.
