sly fox Report post Posted January 13, 2015 I've never hunted Coues deer before and I will be going into an area in 2015 where I could be able to take one. Can anyone give me tips on judging them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duarte64 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Patience and glassing is key, they are small. glassed for about an hour before I found these guys bedded about 600 yds. when I was out scouting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crowbait Report post Posted September 29, 2015 Durate64 is correct. saying the deer are small is an understatement when they are bedded. These deer in the picture have good antlers. I too am not a great field judge but I would estimate the one looking at us is 90+ and would have to see the other from another angle but it too looks high 80's and above.

win71 Report post Posted July 12, 2018 Best thing I can tell you is to look at lots of pictures. My rule is Big bucks look big. You will know when you see a really big one. You won't have any Questions. The bucks in the picture of this post are what I call good ones and would tell you to shot them if you see any that size. They however are not what I mean by Big bucks look big. Coues rarely field dress over 90 pounds and most won't go more than 75 to 80 pounds. Good luck to you and have a good hunt.
