Arizona Coues Deer Hunting Tips
The
Coues Whitetail (properly pronounced "cows", but
almost everyone pronounces it "coos") is a
subspecies of white-tailed deer found in Arizona,
Mexico and to a lesser extent New Mexico. The coues
deer has earned its reputation for being able to
vanish from sight in a flash. The coues whitetail is
known by outfitters as the "Gray Ghost" or "Ghost of
the Desert". Many people consider Coues deer to be
the most challenging big game animal to hunt.
Chuck Adams has called the coues deer "The most fun
big game animal of the North American Slam to hunt".
Some even refer to hunting Coues deer as the "poor
man's sheep hunt" because of the harsh terrain
involved while stalking these beautiful animals.
Famous big-game hunter Jack O'Connor proclaimed the
Coues deer to be "the most difficult of all deer to
kill" due to its extreme wariness and the
inhospitable habitat this deer can live in. The
harvest of a coues deer is a must for any hunter who
wants to partake in collecting the North American
Deer Slam. Most taxidermists agree, a coues deer
buck makes the prettiest animal to mount of all
North American big game animals. Diamond
