Just got back from my son’s first coues deer hunt in southern Arizona. I’ve hunted Sonora in the past, so it wasn’t all brand new. But Arizona hunting pressure is certainly different than Sonora. Last week we saw lots of deer and a good number of bucks. We learned a few good areas, passed on bucks, had close calls on other bucks, and saw some awesome country. But in the end we didn’t fill his youth tag; (hopefully he draws again soon and he’ll be back down, with another tag in his pocket).
I will be headed back down a bit further south this time, to a different unit for my wife’s first coues hunt in December.
I’m brand new to this forum, (hope to be a good contributing member) but wondered if some of you experts could give opinions on this buck we saw multiple times on my son’s youth hunt. Just curious if my coues field judging skills are close to accurate, as I prepare for my wife’s December hunt.
