I was invited to join a group of guys who hunts down there every year for the past 4-5 years. I personally have never hunted down there nor even seen a Coues deer. I have killed a couple of whitetail and several blacktail, but never the "ghost". I've always heard how tough they are to hunt, and I'm extremely looking forward to hunting them. We are going the week of the 14th-22nd of January 2006. We also have Javelina tags. The aread they hunt is 34A, North of Patagonia. The group I'm going with has taken some average bucks out of there and the 1st year they went the dad stuck a P&Y buck. They have also had okay luck with the Javs. I was wondering if any of you had any advice to offer up on how to hunt these devils or what the country looks like? Are treestands helpful? Scents, grunts, rattlin'? I've also heard there is mule deer down there also and that our tag is good for them as well. I would rather concentrate on a Coues, but is there difference in where their ranges are or are they intermingled? Sorry for so many questions, but I like to be prepared, and I'm too dang far away to scout. 22 hr drive for this trip! I knew this was the place for info, you guys seem to know these little devils pretty well.
