Wow, I wasn't aware the gray ranch even allowed hunting. I have passed through there many times and have seen quite a few mule deer, and I figured there was probably plenty of coues in the nearby Animas mountains. I sure wish I was a CEO of your co. :blink:

I've seen bucks of this caliber and bigger in public land, when out bow hunting during the rut. The problem is, sticking an arrow in one. :blink: But that's alright it's just a matter of time. Sooner or later one's going to make a mistake. ;)

Wow, great buck. I was under the impression it was next to impossible to get a permit to hunt on the Gray Ranch. It sure looks like some great Coues Country. Do you have to be a CEO to get a tag? How do they handle tags there?

I'm not sure exactly how they distribute there hunting privaliges. But I do know that for the last six years or so the head hanchoes from Phelps dodge Mining Company have hunted it. They have taken some huge muledeer. I have a pic of a mule deer one of them took this year. It's not a huge buck but still a respectable representative of the species. Funny thig about it is most of these guys aren't into hunting they just tag along. And yes I am very jealous.

Yeah Couesstalker, I've been working with PD for almost 16 years. I work at the Tyrone mine in NM.

 

Just thought I check in one last time. I headed to Kansas on a whitetail hunt talk to you guys in a week.

That is a very nice coues. This year in Aug I missed a buck with my bow a little bigger than that on private land. I estimated him at 110 to 115" after I subtracted 15" from my origional estimate (I was a little exited to see him at 40 yards, figure he grew a little in my mind.) But I hit a small stick about 3' in front of him I didnt see and it made my arrow hit about 2" in front of him. Last year in the same place I saw a bigger buck by far but could not get a shot! He walked by at 20 yards, and I was so excited I was shaking. Anyways, my grandfather worked at PD Chino for many years, he was a shovel repair foreman before PD went to teams, and I worked at PD Morenci for about 2 years, and I am jelous that we werent able to hunt there too.

 

Anyways very nice deer, both of them. And good luck on future hunts.
