Been hunting? Morgon Hardt’s beautiful Coues white-tailed buck
By Milo Hardt, very proud father, Apache Junction.

I ain’t much of a hunter, I much preferred to wet a line, instead of hunt, but my 12-year-old son just loves the stuff! And, I gotta honestly say that I thoroughly enjoy being out in the field with him and sharing in all his excitement.

He shot this Coues in October, opening day for youth hunts. Unofficially it scored in the low 80s. I think it took the bullet longer to travel the 250 yards to reach the deer than it did for the deer to hit the ground once the bullet met its mark. Yet another clean shot!

We’d been watching this deer for over a month and he was very predictable. The many hours we spent scouting really paid off. So, too, did the quality optics. And, of course we can’t forget to mention all the wonderful instruction and assistance we got from several of our experienced hunting buddies!

Just thought some of you might like seeing this photo! The smile on his face is priceless. Way to go son! We’re all VERY proud of you!
