Thanks for the clarification. I must have missed the attacks that did it and if he was asked and didn't stop then bye bye.

I agree on negative posts...I really do. However, I completely disagree with the hypocrisy regarding those posts

It isn't the end. Sad part is we are losing lots of experienced people all the time. More than you know. To be number one you better have number one type people responding and posting on this site. Ironically some of the good and extremely knowledgeable posters (who don't post anymore) are leaving forums for fb so only friends can keep in the loop. This hurts us all... Carry on

This concern was adressed my Amanda. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

Ironic really as we were just conversing in camp this weekend about this very issue...guess the flight starter with Lark

Bullets in vitals kill pretty well I hear

Good advice for any Coues hunt!

I will make this easy...just get ALL of them ;-)

I would hunt lots of units and have fun with the tag and friends. Probably would end up taking a buck I liked and not worry about score. I hope your friend enjoys the tag and doesn't stress too much.

Where are you moving to if you dont mind me asking?

I have the same hunt with some friends. I live in Tucson and if you come down to scout maybe we could meet up.

Might have to borrow that...for some reason I feel really acquainted with that rifle, wonder why?

Almost forgot, start practicing with that rifle! Coues country usually doesn't lend itself to close shots. Cross canyon, up canyon, and every other kind of canyon shot you can think of at distance are the norm so be proficient and confident. Hunting these deer becomes addicting due to all the different skills required to chase them (glassing, shooting, hiking, scouting, determining the best route to get closer, etc etc).

Welcome to cwt and congratulations on your tag! First off, I am pretty sure that your hunting license serves as your state land permit for future reference. You have drawn a border unit and will have to deal with the issues associated with the border. Camping is generally dispersed in the unit and there is lots of space available on the state trust land. Most people who camp down there camp in groups. The thought on this is the more people around the safer it is to camp. Check out any of the large ranch roads (like the Kings Anvil) that pass through state land for dispersed camping. Though I personally haven't camped at the Buenos Aires NWR I know of many that have camped there as well (though I think there is a fee associated with the NWR). As to gear. Personally, I would get a good pair of binoculars and a tripod. To hunt the coues you will need to glass, glass, glass and then glass some more. If you scout the unit in September practice your glassing as well. Which Nov hunt do you have? Also, I would peruse most of the content on this site regarding the border units especially 36c. Read and learn from the experiences, failures, and successes of others! Be sure to pay attention to the terrain and growth in the pictures as this will give you a starting point on where to look for these elusive deer when looking over the unit while scouting and glassing. Make sure you know how to take care of the animal if you are lucky enough to get one down. The meat is delicious so having a plan and the ability to get one off the mountain is imperative!

Just finished up a homemade electronic caller and will be out with friends this weekend. I personally have to take it easy but will definitely be behind the glass for them!

Sure!

Fine then! Just remember, as you see it crest the ridge far in front of you...you could have had that toy hauler!

Toy hauler? Last chance at this fine piece of American engineering!

Dang...if I didn't just have surgery!

Thanks for the info...

Beautiful bull. Thanks for sharing

Heat, That is what I ended up doing. I use the tipi for packpacking trips and other things for a base camp. Big issue for me is I don't want to leave a $1200 setup next to the road while I'm away.

Heat great question. I don't know as I use the tent to backpack. But if you would like to check out the tent let me know. I would guess two would fit pretty good in there. Last trip it was two of us, a dog, big pile of wood, and all our gear inside.

I have a kifaru 6 man. Awesome for my uses. However if you are going to be mainly car camping I would probably go another route.
