NMTcoueshunter Report post Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) Hi, I'm new here and have been hunting coues for just a few years now. I am from New Mexico. I have rifle hunted for the last three years and seen some nice bucks, but I never see that many on the rifle hunts. This year I tried muzzleloader hunting in late september. I saw a lot more deer this year then I have any other year. I missed a decent buck that was around 80". I also saw a deer that was around 100" but couldnt get a shot, always too far. I also saw one monster as well. Normally during the rifle hunts i only see one one or two does and one or two bucks. It seemed like there was a lot more activity during the muzzleloader season, and I was wondering if this is typical, or if anyone else has noticed this.

ScottAdams Report post Posted December 13, 2003 Nathan, I've hunted the NM Muzzleloader hunt once and saw more deer than I have on the rifle hunts. I thought it was due mainly to less hunting pressure. Also some of the bucks were still in their bachelor herds. Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
