Good luck!!!

If you don't already have it, get this book, it's a great one for learning all about Coues deer: http://store.coueswhitetail.com/how-to-hunt-coues-deer-book/

Coues deer eat a huge variety of plants. Browse just means any shrubby bush that they will eat and there are many species of those. The species they use most changes during the seasons and elevation where you are hunting. mesquite, catclaw, manzanita, evergreen oaks, mountain mahogany, ceanothus/buckbrush are some of the favorites. But they also eats lots of forbs and many times during fall hunts I see them eating fruits on the barrel cactus. if you check out this page you can see some photos of what coues habitat looks like. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/2012/05/coues-deer-habitat/

Excellent story, thank you for sharing your experience with us! Congratulations and of course nice sticker pic

Maybe taking them to places where they can see more game is helpful. Then they start to enjoy the glassing more and develop some ability to wait longer before seeing something. My husband is the same way....he gets bored glassing if we don't see a lot of deer.....I could glass forever though. Glassing just isn't his forte.

Nice work! Looks like a great trip with your dad!

Looks excellent! Love the dog in the background too...he looks like he approves

Nice! I hope you get more pics of him!

Hope you had a great one Phil!! Thanks for all the great hunting adventures you share with the site!
