We really went primitive on our recent Coues trip to Arizona 😂 If anyone needs an Airbnb recommendation for the Sonoita area, I'd be happy to share. Great host and reasonable price!- dcopas78

Question about Coues deer...UPDATE
Well we never did get another chance of getting dad a buck. Some of the forks and spikes that we passed on the first day would have looked pretty good on the last! We had a great time nonetheless. We left the hunting area a day early to go to the Grand Canyon and we were sure glad we did. No... -
Question about Coues deer...UPDATE
Still trying to get one for dad but I tagged out the 2nd morning on this buck at 275 yards. I wasn't picky for my first one, just wanted a legal buck. We decided to bring my son along for the trip. He's getting a different sort of education this week! We've been seeing a lot of deer with... -

AZ Cards Getting Hit
Dad and I only put in for a early December rifle hunt in 35A. I split my points with him since he didn't have any so we only had an average of 2. He isn't getting any younger at 78.

First bird for my son
My son got his first gobbler this past weekend during the Ohio youth season. 23 pounds, 10.5 beard, 1 1/8 spurs. It was a quick but certainly a exciting hunt and a memory neither of us will soon forget!- dcopas78

My nephew Ashton's buck...
In Ohio he can hunt under an apprentice license with my brothers (or licensed adult) supervision without taking the hunters ed course outright. I like that Ohio did this myself. It was meant to increase youth participation. So sorry for the loss of your son -

My nephew Ashton's buck...
Yeah dad will probably wait til after drying period for official score since the magazine will want that for their story. I'll be sure to follow up. Tim, my brother, has been contacted by so many groups wanting to talk to him and Ashie about the deer and the story leading up to it. It's... -
My nephew Ashton's buck...
Today has been crazy! My brother has been on the phone nearly all day with many different publications including North American Whitetail who want to do an article on Ashton and his buck and his passion for hunting. The Ohio DNR is going to do a story about the hunt, and there is a strong... -
