  1. 1. How do you say that Coues SHOULD BE pronounced?



Recommended Posts

I've digressed to calling them cooz, just because most everyone else does. In my mind it is Couse (Rhyme with House) I have an uncle who is a french speaking Canadian and that is how he would say it.

 

Cooz sounds like un-educated red-neck term. :)

 

Either way they are the greatest deer on the Planet!!!!

Anyone who pronounces cooz as cows needs to go back to speaking the King's English you bunch of Red Coats. They need to stop hunting big game and go chase some foxes with their red coats behind dogs. Just my humble opinion on the subject.

I will continue to pronounce our perfect little whitetail deer "Coues." It is easy to say, the o and the u together is a unique sound that doesn't sound like a w. What's the problem with that?????????? Okay now it is settled.
