Annual coues adventure

[sneakem]

Well the annual coues adventure was a tough go this year. Unseasonably warm temperatures, full moon, plenty of moisture, had changed the usual deer behavior. It was tough sledding. Spent the last five days of December chasing coues with a gun and ended up eating my tag. Stayed for the archery hunt and managed to scrounge up a javelina and a deer after 16 days, but what a grind... Anyways a couple photo's...

Congratulations!

Very well done. I know how tough it is to get coues deer killed with a rifle, let alone the hours it takes to get one with a bow.

Always impressed with your dedication and success.

The worst day in Coues country is far better than any day in front of a computer. Congrats!

Very nicely done! I am 3 for 5 on Coues rifle hunts leading into the rut. The terrain is brutal. All my shots were over 200 yards. I am certain I would be 0 for 5 with a bow. Congrats!!

16 days really is a grind, well done!

My son and I ate our late December coues tags. Bucks were saw were very small. I’ve hunted Coues before but felt underglassed with my 15s. Very tough to pick out of brush.
