Well I FINALLY was able to take my first coues deer in Southern AZ. It was an educational experience to say the least.
I hunted for six days before I really felt like I was where the deer were. They were tough to spot, I saw a lot more does than bucks, and there was ZERO rutting activity going on.
Besides being stopped by border patrol twice, things went really smooth.
I was able to take him bedded under a cedar at ~400yds straight downhill. They're so tricky to spot I honestly second-guessed my glasses when I first saw him. It took me a second to decide if he was a shooter because he held absolutely still for five minutes. When he turned, this deer was a welcome last-day buck. He has a great frame with long beams and bladed eyeguards. I think I've got a new obsession!
Props to the species guys! They've earned my respect!
