I couldn’t get enough apparently so I went back this AM to see if there might be a big Tom on the carcass or at the very least a coyote. Sadly only birds but was still glad to be back in that beautiful place to watch the sun wake up!
I have been hunting mainly two places. M/T/W/Th I hunted at this location and actually missed this buck on Tuesday. I went to a different place yesterday and decided I wasn’t going to leave the only buck I’d seen again. This AM I got out to the gate before sunrise and decided to hike in directly...
Anyone feels like they want to test out their eyeballs and glass and are within driving distance of ——— NM let me know :) there is a reason you always hear about groups of folks glassing for coues, more eyes would be super helpful LOL
Had an opportunity on a dandy little 3x3 at last light on Tuesday. A comedy of errors on my part ended with me shooting over his back. Went back yesterday saw more does but thr little buck didn’t make another appearance. I have to work today but will be out there by 3 ready to glass another one...

Spent the past two days glassing my brains out. Looking high and low and everywhere in between. I have seen 1 doe and her fawn twice. The first was a legit spot and the second time the fawn was running in circles and had a bad case of the zoomies :).
Not sure I fully understand Coues deer...

If you have it home and have time just put it in water and let it soak for several days. It will loosen the meat up you can google maceration. I think that might be better than putting more heat to it.
