I just returned from coues deer hunting in Arizona. Bad news is I did not get my deer, good news is I have a 2014 hunting license and 2014 deer tag which will be good again later this year. My hunt was with an outfitter and when I return I plan on a DYI hunt. Can someone here point me in a good direction. I hunted just north of Willcox last week.
Thanks,
Scott

Going for Coues, again? If so, the Huachucas. Don't find much else, for deer, there.

Thanks, yes I plan on a Coues, but would not pass up a nice mulie.

Hey I am on my way down to Arizona later this week for my annual hunt for coues deer and javelina. I enjoy my trips to southern Arizona each year. If you go in jan. of 15 let me know and I will share some of my info. Or you are welcome to join me and my father-in law in the desert. I will let you know how we do when I get back later in the month.

I meet TG Like to get all The TG together and Have Lunch

I am near Tucson right now and will be here for the month. I have a javelina tag and have only been out a couple of times, and have not seen much. This is different hunting for me and the learning curve is steep. But I do have time on my side, so w will see what comes of it.
If any TG'rs are in the area I'd love to meet up and compare notes.

Whip, I'm snowbirding north of Florence; don't have a license, but I hike the desert a lot in search of the little stink pigs. As you have probably figured out, you need to cover a lot of ground, and even then, javies are sometimes hard to find. I have looked at an awful lot of barrel cactus and tried to turn them into javelina, so far without success. I have found certain areas where we are that usually contain javelina, although I may see them once out of 5 or 6 hikes in those areas. Where you see one, there are probably a bunch more.

The only Coues deer I have seen down here have been in the mountains near Roosevelt Lake; they are ghostly little critters, and skittish as all get out. I would guess that bowhunting them in a spot/stalk situation would be about as tough a hunt as you could find. I do see mulies regularly where we are, though.

This has really got my interest up. Put this off to long. Good luck all .

Thanks guys. Hunting coues last week was the most fun I have had hunting in years.
