Glassed muley country today and still found 4 coues bucks. 2 singles and one double. No coues ruttin activity yet. Did find this muley pushing a group of about 10 or so does pretty good throughout the day.

Went scouting this morning in SE AZ. Saw 5 bucks….a group of 2 and a group of 3. No signs of rut at all. Did find a fresh rub though.

It’s done on their website now. It used to be in person or over the phone.

80 late Dec coues tags with 10 any antler muzzy tags so 90 total for the late hunt. You have to sign in every day to the area you want to hunt and they only allow a certain amount of hunters in each area. Some areas only allow as little as 2 hunters at any given time. Majority of the areas allow anywhere from 3-5 hunters. The good/popular areas fill up fast so you gotta be quick to sign in.

Seems to be a common theme among the border units this year.

Dang! That’s a RAD buck! Burred up bases, crazy beam and kickers…Freakin awesome man!

Congrats that’s a long shot in my book. I can hit targets out to 700-800 but so far my longest on a deer has been right around 350. Kudos for keeping it real when you could have easily left the misses out of the story. My hats off to you you’re a brave man👍

Off the head

Got a mule deer cape if anyone needs one. Killed 2 days ago and it’s currently in the freezer. Unfortunately the cape isn’t tubed because I already cut up the back of the neck before deciding to cape it. Buck field dressed right at 190 pounds. Nice looking cape. Asking $75 located in Sierra Vista.

Thanks! Already ate the tenderloins and some backstrap. Very tasty! If it was my tag he definitely would have gotten a pass which would then lead me to desperately looking for a spike on the last day🤣

We have 6 more deer tags. 4 for the kids and the other 2 are for my wife and I. How about you guys?

Na man this opening morning stuff sucks..Nothing beats that feeling you get when you bag a buck on the last day after hunting your butt off. Last day buck trumps first day buck every time.
