az_hunter95 Report post Posted December 23, 2019 Guess I haven't posted in a long time. Bought a spotting scope off someone ~2 years ago. Anyways, My old man is getting a knee replacement on the 30th and am now without a hunting partner. I have both the otc deer and archery javelina tag for january. Looking for another person who is going solo, or a group of 2 that wouldn't mind an extra set of eyes. I hunt 21 every year in January and regularly see coues. My current plan is to drive up the 1st and leave Sunday after the morning/afternoon hunt. I have a truck/4wd, camping gear, spotting scope, backpack and pretty much everything I need to do a solo trip, just would prefer not to do a solo trip. My main target is a nice coues, but being unsuccesful on stalks the past 6 years has me ready to put a stalk on everything legal (minus spikes), and taking a shot should it present itself. Any replies to this thread is greatly appreciated, and good luck to everyone else. PM me for contact info. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buddro Report post Posted December 24, 2019 I would offer to join you if I had time. Since I dont I'll just leave you with encouragement. Real hunters do it solo! Coues are tiney, super easy to get out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or you don't have any friends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az_hunter95 Report post Posted January 7, 2020 Okay, First of hunting alone is not bad. CAMPING alone is terrible and so boring. But I did have my most and best quality deer encounters. Hunted hard 3 days and 1 evening. Had a 4x4 mulie at 35 yards first morning, but no shot cause of does running in between and thick ocotillo cover. Saw a lot while glassing, most of the groups I saw were comprised of 7+ does (both WT & Mule). The Mule deer groups that had a buck, had a big buck with only 3-5 does. I did not see any coues bucks with does. Im sure this has changed and they are probably getting dumber by the minute. Didnt see any javelina, but I didn't really look for them as I was preoccupied. Sorry I didnt get any pics of the bucks. By the time I saw them, I was already making moves and things just got western. Only coues buck I saw was well before light and was a forky 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az_hunter95 Report post Posted January 7, 2020 And I hate to say it, but after chasing the second mule deer, 4x4 with small forks but super wide. I blew the stalk, got super close to the buck & does without realizing it. I'm addicted to mule deer I think, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
