Summer Archery Coues Hunt

['Ike' @ HM]

Looking at maybe doing a early season Archery hunt for Coues...........Anyone recommend any guides?

Rimrock

Not many people go guided in early season. It's a lot of money for a real low percentag hunt. This guy is very good though.

'Low percentage hunt?' How's that? Bucks are in velvet and their Summer patterns....Haven't been chased (other than cats) for months, no pressure!!!

Compare that to late season, with everyone and their brother out chasing something!!!

[Coues]

Archery deer success in AZ average about 5% every year.

I'd give Duwane Adams a call at ArizoneBigGamehunting.com. He's awesome, and has several guides that live to hunt coues. It's all they talked about on my muley hunt last November. At least give him a call and talk about it. Tell Duwane that Brent Hill says, "Hi." Also, check out his book "Hunting Coues Deer."

Thanks Coues, it's still fun though.........

Thanks Brent, I'd heard about his book, just couldn't remember the name .........I'll tell him if I do call!!!

Ike, I heard that Jim Schaafsma (Arrow Five) has a Mexico lease that is bowhunting only, over water holes and the shot opportunity is very high. I know a guy that is going and I'll be talking to Jim about it in a couple weeks at the P&Y convention. I'm interested in going. Keep in touch and I'll let you know. Ed F

Ike - May be able to help ya out and save you a bunch of money also. How many days can you commit to and what are your expectations?

['Ike' @ HM]

Chief, interesting.........I have at least a week to commit and any legal Coues would do....

Ed F, that could be interesting also........Is Jim (Arrow Five) still in TX also?

[Chief]

You got mail.
