My wife and I were able to harvest a couple of coues deer bucks last weekend in AZ. After running into some traffic and a 15hr drive, we arrived late to our camping spot after daylight. That morning and evening glasses session didn’t turn up anything, but I thought our evening spot looked promising.
We hiked back into the same bowl as the night before and found several bucks as the sun came up. My wife couldn’t get on the group of bucks before they topped out over the hill and I was able to take one before he walked over the top. We glassed the other hillside after we watched my buck go down and found some more bucks. My wife was able to make a good shot and her buck went down. We had two bucks down by 8 am and were back in camp by noon even with packing out the deer whole to show the kids. Pretty good day in Arizona.
