COOSEFAN Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Wow! Sorry to hear about the miss but hey, what an experience!! You will get your giant buck, just a matter of time As for those white trees, down in Obregon they had a few, not near as many as are around where you hunted, but down there they called them "Palo Santo" trees. They swore the flowers from that tree were the Coues' favorite and that the coues would intentionally rake their antlers on those trees to knock off the flowers! LOL! Most of those trees are too big to shake, but I did watch a coues buck eating what flowers were already on the ground. Last week near Magdalena I was corrected and informed they are called "Palo Blanco" just as you stated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
