“After 14 days of non stop hunting and freezing my rear end off… I made it happen!
Yesterday I relocated my stand due to frustration and lack of seeing any deer or recent sign. It all started this morning when I left the house to go get into my treestand. It was the windiest day I had experienced so far. I was climbing up pondering to myself, boy this is going to be fun. The wind howled and gusted up to 20mph all morning. It wasn’t 40 minutes later, when I could hear branches cracking that I decided to get out of there. It was still way too early in the morning to call it a day, so I decided to take a walk and see if I could do some “spot and stalk”. After walking 400 yards or so, nature called and I had to take care of business. Upon zipping up and getting ready to continue on, I noticed a buck trotting more or less in my direction. I kneeled down 5 steps later and waited assuming that he would continue in the same direction. After what seemed like way too long to see the buck I decided to stand up and see more. All the sudden, there he was trotting again in the same direction (more or less broadside) and he had no intentions of stopping. I went to full draw and grunted at him, which stopped him at 15yds. That’s when the ol’ stick n string did the rest! I waited 45 min. and then took up the trail. After 60-70 yds the tracking job was done and my tag was filled. This is my first Coues deer, and he is a true trophy to me!”

Here is what Shawn wrote about his hunt:
“This is my first Coues deer. I shot him out of a ground blind at 37 yrds. I don’t know what he will score and not sure I care because he is a great trophy to me and a hard earned one at that. I backpack many miles to the stand site and thought I was crazy for doing so. But it was all worth it in the end as I was happy to take such a beautiful animal.”

Here is what Johnny had to say about his hunt:
“I have been blessed again this year with another archery Coues. Last year, I scored a 90.00” (net) 4×4 buck (never measured prior to 60 day drying). This one should also be a Pope and Young buck. This 2009 4X4, green scores roughly at 102.50”. I was sitting in my stand and within one hour, he came in. I must say, the PSE X-Force and G5 Montec’s did their job. The shot was 20 yards and hit the right side shoulder and completely passed through the left shoulder. He piled up 150 yards from the shot. Now, if I can only get one in the January archery hunt, my Coues hunting will come full circle!”

Robert shot him in Pima County on January 10th with his PSE X-Force as he was following one doe. Shot was seventy yards and passed through both lungs. He scores 100 2/8” and is Robert’s personal best archery Coues.

Treestand used
Mathews MQ32 bow, Muzzy 100 grain broadhead
shot at 15 yards 🙂 yeah, i love those long shots!
I passed up a shot on a dinky 2 x 1 on New Year’s day at, again, 15 yards. The freezer was empty and I could have used the meat, but I knew I was in a great trophy area, so I held. Boy, am I glad I did! 🙂 I always name my big deer, and this one is Marcella’s Birthday Buck. He was taken the weekend of my Mom’s birthday. She has been diagnosed with extensive small-cell lung cancer and I wanted to honor her in my memory.
The buck was cruising for does and the neck was massive. Estimated live weight is 125 lbs.

Nathan hasn’t had this buck scored yet, but he thinks he will get it scored along with the monster he killed in 08. Then he hopes to have two Pope and Young bucks to his name.

” The 2008 Arizona August archery deer hunt will always be one to remember. I shot this brute on opening day, sitting water. This happened to be the first time that I have ever laid eyes on this particular buck, but I knew the potential of the Coues deer in this area. I shot him at 38 yards, and three hours later I found him (To make a long story short).
He green scored around 120”, but I’m still waiting to get an official P&Y score. I would like to thank my friend Gilbert Rivera, for getting off of work early and driving a long way just to help me find my buck; and after enjoy a couple of cold ones.
This is my second Arizona Coues Deer, and my whole life, I’ve been Muley Crazy. I think that I officially have the “Bug”, and I’m absolutely hooked on Coues Deer now!”
