Coues deer buck

[AZ402]

After striking out on all the draws this year. My last resort was a leftover coues deer tag here in AZ. I went solo and had my sights set on an 80in or better buck.

Opening morning I found four bucks but none that I wanted to shoot at. The first evening was a bust. This morning I went back to where I had seen the bucks on opening day. Shortly after grey light I picked up a buck. He was far off but I made my way towards him.

I was able to come over the ridge right above him. Once he came out into the open, I promptly air mailed a round right above him. Luckily he froze and I was able to get off another shot. I didn't do the best job on the pics. It was steep and being by myself I was trying to hurry.

My 2014 leftover coues buck.

Nice job chasing the grey ghost in the steep stuff! One of the best adventures in North America.

Outstanding! Congratulations on an awesome buck! My Brother, Wife, her Uncle and I got leftover tags for 35B. We leave today after I get out of work.
Were the bucks solo or still hanging out together?
