    Coues Deer

    Quick update while I catch a breather, yesterday morning I saw a definite no brainer shooter at 600 yards. I was able to close the gap to 400 which is my max range with my setup (that will be resolved before my next trip) but couldn’t get a clear look. He fed off with a smaller buck and I lost...

    So far today I have gotten to add javelina and buck waypoint icons to my Onx maps. What a beautiful day…

    Coues Deer

    Alright so, no deer this evening but to my absolute shock and delight I saw 2 cow elk and a calf. When I saw the head of the bedded calf sticking out from under a juniper at 650 yards my first thought was “ that is too red to be a deer”. Unfortunately I left the phone case for my Olin rig laying...

    The slope I am concentrating on this evening Camera looking south/southeast. Moving between a few glassing spots within a 25 yard radius to get a full view of the slope. Did I mention I love this…

    Coues Deer

    Alright, after two full days of actual hunting I have discovered a few things: 1: I love this. 10/10 highly recommend. I will be doing this as often as I can draw. 2: I currently suck at it. 3: People are just as likely to use ATV’s on closed roads or where there is no road here as they...

    Coues Deer

    Alright, after 2+ daya in the unit here are my takeaways: 1. If I am going to spend much time glassing for Coues in this type of terrain, beefier glass will be useful. Don’t piss in my Cheerios on this, I have been needing and excuse to by the 15x56 Swaro’s and now I have it… 2. When it rains...

    I did. It went very well. Did some hiking but even more driving. I was just getting a lay of the land and looking at road conditions, access points, etc.

    Coues Deer

    Alright, less than a week until I depart for this hunt. I have had some fairly significant health issues over the last couple of months so I am likely going to have to scale back my plan of doing a backcountry type hunt. I may surprise myself but 3 weeks ago I was so sick that I had doubts that...

    Coues Deer

    Appreciate it. I am not going to be super picky but I doubt I will shoot one that isn’t a 4 unless he is obviously mature and just doesn’t have the headgear to show for it. Time will tell though. I won’t be super disappointed if I go home empty handed. Kind of determined just to enjoy...

    Coues Deer

    Figured I would post up some scouting pics. Made a quick trip, landed yesterday, fly home tomorrow afternoon. Main point of the trip is familiarization and ground truthing some access points, lay of the land, etc. I think that is mule deer scat but what do I know besides that it came from some...
