Gino, if you are going to be on Southern & Valvista then you are right in the area you need to be. The interstate 60 is one block south of southern and you can go east a couple of exits to Greenfield and make a right into the Walmart. The Sportsman is just to the west of the Walmart. Now if you want the Costco then you need to go west on the 60 past Valvista until you come to the Country Club exit and go south a couple of blocks and the Coctco will be on your left. Hope this helps. If you get lost call my house and the wife will direct you in the right direction. 480-833-1230 TJ

Thanks Mark for posting this buck and story for Jerry. I talked with him on my way back to Payson last wendsday, after dropping off my bull at home, and he was really excited and told me you did a post on his buck. I lost his call as I entered the mountains at the 4peak's area. Ran home yesterday for Thanksgiving after 3 weeks in elk camp and will be returning to scout for Peg's bull as soon as she gets her cloths packed. Had a great hunt this year and will post later. Hi to Kathi and congrats on her pig. TJ

Gino.....it never sunk into my thick head as to what you really had until I was at the truck. I'm glad you came thru it alright. I had cwt member jeffd and his son Roy in elk camp the first Sat of my hunt and they informed me their whole family had it earlier this year. Please give my apoligies again to your wife for nocking her into my cart at walmart. Now what are the chances of that happening to a cwt member. I actually hit her pretty hard and really felt bad. You looked a little rough just getting over the flu and hope you recover completely so you can get out there in Jan. Best of luck! TJ

Kathi, I knew it was just a matter of time before you shot one and a big CONGRATULATIONS from Peg and I. Who better to have on your hunt, besides Mark, than Jerry. He is a hard hunter and I can't wait to see the video. TJ

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and I would like to wish everyone and their families a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. May the hunting Gods be with you. TJ

The alarm rang at 4am and Dad and I were up and ready for our half hour quad ride followed by a half hour walk to get in our blind. We were to hunt together the first morning on a spot that I've been after a buck I named the Geritol buck. Everytime I get his picture on trail cam I get so fired up I can't sleep or eat without thinking of him. I have always been a first deer meat hunter but changed my priorities this year to pursue him or nothing else. I was unsuccessful during archery season when he turned nocturnal. After all the hard work I've put in on Geritol, Dad wanted me to shoot him, but I insisted he take him. Not knowing how many days Dad would last getting up that yearly, I was hoping he'ld score on this morning. Dad was about done in by the time I got him in the blind and so I decided at that moment to leave him alone or we would be argueing who would shoot if old Geritol would show. He asked where I was going and I said I wouldn't be far. I climbed the nearby mountain and settled in for the day over looking a nice saddle and hoping to hear a shot ring out down below. The day dragged on and after many sleeps a shot woke me and I immediately turnrd on my radio. I hear " Tom do you have a copy? I think I got one. He ran off." I said "I'll be down in 15 minutes so stay put." Now Dad hasn't shot a deer in about 15yrs or so and at 80 yrs old I don't know how many more years he has left in that worn out body of his. By the time I got to Dad he was sitting next to his deer with the biggest grin I have ever seen on anyone. I was hoping he was Old Geritol but he wasn't. It really didn't matter. You would have thought he killed the biggest deer ever. Sorry so long winded but here is Pa's trophy after a very long dry spell. One of my most memorable hunts with Dad My last day at 25deg with a little snow. Up at 4am and sitting 12 to 14hr days with nothing but tag soup this year. Can you spot the deer? Only one of three does I saw the whole hunt. Old Geritol stayed nocturnal. I'll post his picture after I harvest him in Jan. Hopeful thing!

Welcome to coueswhitetail.com. TJ

Congratulations Btittany on your first coues deer. Looks like you had alot of critters to keep you company. That is just awesome young lady. TJ

I might as well play along with a score of 120 1/8

And what is wrong with a 90'ish buck? TJ

Thanks for the story and pictures. Congratulatioms to your friend. TJ

Congratulations on the buck but I'm confused as to who actually shot it. You first say congratulations to your brother-in-law on his first big game animal and then you go on to say how you shot it. What am I missing? TJ

Doug, you are one amazing guy with that camera. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us here on coueswhitetail. TJ

Thanks everyone for your comments and I will see that Dad gets to read this post. I have been blessed and hope each and everyone of you can enjoy the same with a family member or friend. TJ

That is one awesome story and it all happened in 15 minutes or so? Now that is a deer story to be told many times around a camp fire. And to find that lion kill on top of what you and your Dad did is amazing. The hunting Gods where with you for sure this day. Don't expext every hunt to go as well as this one. Them are really nice bucks you and Dad took. A big congratulations to the both of you. Thanks for sharing with us all. TJ

Without a doubt my binos. I'll turn around and go home for sure. TJ

Welcome to the site. This is the best site there is for information on coues deer hunting. There is no other! TJ

I just spent a week hunting out of an Ameristep blind while my double bull sat in camp. It was only because it was already setup where I was hunting. I don't like the zippers or the velco but it is worth the money. I lift the blind up and crawled under neath instead of unzipping each time. TJ

Thanks for the story and pictures. Sounds like you had a great hunt. Last year I saw one of the biggest muleys I have ever seen around Picket Post Mt. Thanks again for sharing. TJ

I've been a meat hunter most of my life and the first deer you have an opportunity to shoot is what I suggest. Never know if the next one will present itself. IMO TJ

Spoooooooooooooooky! Great job Paige. TJ ps.....Happy Halloween to our whitetail family.
