Arizona Archery coues deer hunt

I didn't really post much about this hunt but I had a blast. My buddy lives down there and had been trying to talk me into this hunt forever and I kept putting it off. I even got a bonus cotamundi.
Not sure if i can post the video or if you'll have to follow the link to Youtube. But since hunting season is approaching I figured I might help some people get in the mood. Definitely need some work on videoing and the whispering in my deer was because we didnt want to ruin our spot. His deer was shot next to a river as we were packing out.

Yup, it was a nice little woodlot funnel. Not a lot of cover around there then it was pretty vertical around us so the does would hide out in there and the bucks would come through looking during the rut. Buddy lives down there and scouted his butt off to find it.

From everything I know about Cous deer, I was pretty impressed with how close you were able to get, especially to how many. Very impressive.

Irving it was scent control, a blind, and not as pressured by hunters coues. We were as far as we could get from any roads. There is another group of guys that hunt in there but they camp quite aways away and sneak in as well. But moral of the story is they don't run into too many hunters back there and we had the ground blind hidden within some big boulders. As you can see from the video a big doe had spotted something she didn't like or heard my buddy but luckily didn't spook.

So cool! I didn?t hear it mentioned in the video, but what general area were you guys at? Guessing not terribly far from me.

Nice. I'll have to ask my buddy if he has ever been. I like that area but not this time of year. I usually go down in December or January.

heck yeah. Nice little buck. Congrats.

Thank you sir!
