Tag Soup & Other Lessons From My First Hunt
AZCoueser posted a topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
I had my first coues hunt this past week in Unit 22. I was ultimately unsuccessful in harvesting an animal, but I still consider the trip an overall success. I had a blast! Thinking about key takeaways, the following come to mind: I need to have better game plans for each morning. On one occasion, I missed the most active part of the morning because I couldn't get to where I wanted to be before 9:30a. I spent some valuable hours just in my car trying to drive to a location. I underestimated the other-hunter competition aspect. I'm not sure if all units are like this, but I was constantly bumping into other hunters. What ultimately sent me home was another hunter taking a 700-yd shot (and missing three times) on a buck that I'd located and been chasing over a couple days. At least in my experience, Unit 22 is a tough hunt. I didn't have a SXS so spent a lot of time walking. The deer seemed to be concentrated in one area and all the 'regulars' knew where that area was and took out a few bucks on the first morning. I took a few scouting trips, but I realized that I spent most of those trips in the same area. Next hunt, I need to scout more broadly so that when my Plan A falls apart, I have a decent Plan B. I think it'll also be important to find some bucks during those scouting trips. During the scouting trips I took, I was only able to find does. What do you all remember from your first hunt? -
This sounds interesting. How do you envision an activity like this going?

I’d recommend using the Chirp software. I checked and your radio is compatible. There are a lot of YT videos out there on how to use it. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home

Cody, you come help a new guy (me) find a buck in 22 right now and I’ll program your radios for you! Kidding (sort of). Like the above person said, make sure you get your license first. Google “how to get GMRS license” Once you have the license, use MyGMRS.com to find nearby repeaters. What kind of radio did you get?

Awesome video. What unit?

Oof that hurts lol.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

Talk to me about game bags. Is there a big difference between brands? How many liters do I need for a coues buck? Was looking at getting the Kuiu Large Deer set. Overkill?
-
What’s the consensus on rifle bipods? I’m currently planning on shooting off my pack, which is how I’ve been practicing, but was wondering if the majority of you use something else.
