Finally tagged my first deer. I'm an AZ native and have been trying to stick one of these little coues bucks for a couple years now. Rolled out solo at 4:30am. Glassed up a few random does, finally at 7:30 I glass up the bucks me and a buddy have been chasing the past couple of weeks across the canyon and way at the top. Decided to go after them and finally get to where they were with no sign of them. I see a doe and a spike at 100yd and just wait it out hoping to see what me of the 3x3s. Started creeping up and looking for the big bucks but I never did find them. Saw the doe and spike again and moved down about 30yd and sat on a big boulder. The wind was in my face the whole time and the doe feeds out at 55yd between some oaks. Wait another 10-15 mins just watching and finally the spike walks out. Rangefinder says 64 yards. I adjust the slider on my sight just a bit, draw back and let it fly. Shot was a little bit back, but he didn't go more than 40yd and piled up! I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little watery eyed and yelled at the top of a mountain in joy/relief! My very first deer and it's a solo spot and stalk, velvet archery coues whitetail!
