I have the opportunity to harvest 4 Coues deer this year

[DonkeyMan]

Hello folks,

Call it dumb luck, but I have the opportunity to take 4 Coues deer this year.  Yes LEGALLY.

I harvested this stud buck in Mexico in late January this year.  That’s Coues buck #1 for 2022

I was also fortunate enough to draw a unit B San Carlos coozy tag for the last week of December. That’s potential Couesy buck #2

Coozy buck tag #3 comes from an any antlered tag in New Mexico’s unit 16

Lastly, I just got word that we drew a coozy rifle tag in Arizona’s unit 33.  That’s coozy tag #4

Here is where it gets fun.  According to SCI and Boones and Crockett, no one person has taken more than 3 coozys in one year, most of those coming from Mexico.  I’m going for something that’s never been done apparently.  
 

My question.  What would be a respectable buck in each of the 3 remaining hunts?  The Mexico buck scores just shy of 118

 

Thanks

Donkeyman

Your talking more than 3 book bucks in one year?

Stud buck

Anything over 100 is pretty respectable, but it's all subjective.  If it gets your heart pumping, shoot!   Best of luck.

Your New Mexico hunt will definitely be the most challenging, unless you know that unit, or hire a guide. I shot 2 one year and I felt like I hit the lottery…. 4 is awesome! 
that buck is an absolute stud by the way, love the angular tines

I know 2 guys that take more than 3 a year in Mexico with their bows. Money and available tags is all it takes. Congratulations and good luck. Ed F

Thanks Ed.  No doubt you can buy your way into tags in Mexico.  I’m talking about being the first ever to take a record buck in each of the 4 legal hunting areas, all in one year

Pretty presumptuous don't ya think? I hope you complete your slam!

Hey there.  Was not intending to come across as presumptuous at all.  I am laying out that I have 3 more tags in my pocket.  Every single hunt will be its own battle.  If anything I’d say the odds are stacked against me..

Would be an impressive accomplishment to get 4 book bucks in one calendar year

Thanks my friend.  I agree NM numbers are way lower.  I don’t know the unit but am bringing in some help
