Well, after a few deer-less year it finally all worked out for me. I've been at this since last year when I had a mule deer tag but kept running into coues deer in NM. Well, this year I decided to return to the same area but this time with a whitetail deer tag. I was not able to get a muzzleloader tag (due to the dates conflicting with my Arizona deer hunt) so I picked up an archery tag.

On the second day of the hunt, during the morning hours, I looked out the blind window and a small coues deer buck was standing a approximately 30 yards in front of me. I checked out his antlers with my binos and he was legal so I grabbed my bow and let one fly. The rest is history. Found him about 75 yards from the blind. Not an impressive buck but its my first coues deer. I learned alot from this hunt and cant wait until next year already.

Congrats!

Was that the buck you were seeing on your trail cam? I've hunted in NM for over 40 years and have never even seen a coues deer. Again Congrats.
 
Than you all for the replies. I'm not sure if that deer is one of the few I had in my trail cams.
