Good day all,
I went on my first Couse hunt this past weekend, in unit 35A. No deer in the area where I had scouted, so we set off in a few canyons that I wanted to check out. We saw 7 deer overall, but no bucks. It made my trip just to see deer after I had scouted a buck group earlier in the fall and came up empty on the first day. Got real windy on Saturday, and deer were hunkered down, but saw that they were in the steep canyons, but just couldn't put antlers on anything. Had a "how many deer do you see moment", so that was cool. They hide right under your nose don't they!
Camp got blown around but had a great time in a very interesting part of AZ. Wanted to stop the Border Patrol and ask them where the deer are, but didn't. I was just happy that I was able to find animals. Saw some Pronghorns on the way in, and about 25 turkeys, didn't get a fishing report but was too windy to fish on Saturday so I doubt anyone was doing any catching at Parker Canyon Lake.
Thanks to all who have given info for this website, I learned alot about the Couse, and It helped my hunt. Pictures next year I hope.
