Helped a pard this week harvest a great coues. We were after a bigger one but movement was tough this week so he settled on the second best buck we saw. First hard horned buck we saw all week. All still in velvet. That'll change on an hourly basis....

That’s a nice buck, congratulations.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Good job Greg. Things really greened up this year didn't they?
Too close for irons, switching to scope...

From the little I know about Coues, that's a good one! Pretty neat picture too.

Good job Greg. Things really greened up this year didn't they? Yes. Pretty crazy. Snakes are bad. Grass and vines knee high. They bed, they are gone....

Nice buck Greg. I helped my nephews on a youth hunt the past week. We hunted hard for the opportunities we got, not a lot of movement out there. All the bucks we saw (mule deer and coues) were in velvet.

All the bucks we saw (mule deer and coues) were in velvet. Yeah, on average it was a very slow week. Big grinder, like it seems most coues hunts are but very rewarding...

Nice deer, your "pard" is a lucky guy to have you make it happen.
