bdrake Report post Posted August 16, 2004 Well, I didn't, but a friend of mine did...the first year he's ever applied. Anyway, I've been tooling around in other units chasing mulies...what can you guys tell me about the Burro Mts. of Unit 23? Is it basically a dedicated Coues' hunt? Is the terrain open and glassable, or choked-out forest? Any input you guys have, pictures, advice, etc. is greatly appreciated. What a good friend I am to research his hunt, huh?

jamaro Report post Posted August 16, 2004 Welcome to the site... Hunting the Burros you have a great chance of knocking down a monster... It is an opportunity your buddy needs to take advantage of... there is a guy that Advertising DIY hunting on this site.. His name is Tommy.. He is the man when it comes to coues in the burros... He posted some pictures of some monsters that he has scouted.. I think his website is www.gilawildernesshunting.com jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Report post Posted August 16, 2004 Your buddy will have the opportunity to kill a record bood buck, either Mule deer or Coues. Which hunt did he draw, bow or rifle? Either way there is glassable country and there are areas you can't see 5 yards. Do some scouting and you will find what you are looking for. Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdrake Report post Posted August 16, 2004 Thanks guys! I started hunting Coues' (rifle & bow) about 9 years ago in AZ in Units 29, 30A & B. I started applying for 27 and 23 "Burro Mts." in NM, but haven't been drawn. Then my partner (local Game Warden) puts in and gets drawn for the Burro Mts. hunt the first time he puts in. I figured I'd do all the research in hopes that I'll get drawn myself someday. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesSlayer Report post Posted September 13, 2004 Thats cool! I live next to the burros and I can tell you I've seen 30 inch mulies in there but I also have a friend that killed a 102 inch coues.It's a pretty thick place but you just need to get up high.

bdrake Report post Posted September 25, 2004 Sounds a little better than your average AZ Unit. What would you guys hold out for score-wise? Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesSlayer Report post Posted September 28, 2004 I would hold out for a 90 inch buck in couesdeer and a 160-170 for muledeer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
