Sonora, Mexico Coues Deer Hunt 2011

 Here are a few pictures from our recent Coues Whitetail hunt. The Coues white-tailed deer is one of the smallest deer in America. Coues deer stand around 28-32 inches tall at the shoulder and measure about 56 inches (1426 mm) from head to tail. A large field-dressed buck will rarely exceed 80-90 lbs. (although some can exceed 100 pounds) and a doe tends to weigh about 65 lbs. The Coues deer varies in color from a grayish coat in winter to a more reddish-brown color in the summer and they are very difficult to find.


Jacob and I drove to Mexico over the MLK Weekend and hunted these ‘gray ghosts’ with Tucson Native, Todd George. We had a great time and enjoyed many great glassing sessions. Jacob chased Javelinas with his bow and wants to go back again next year. Enjoy the pictures!
