Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Great week in southern AZ

Spent the last week in southern AZ on one of my most enjoyable Coues hunts to date. The weather was storming on the way in on Thursday and we had both rain and hail on the pack in.



Had a great campsite and a running stream... complete with a local bear.



The weather continued unsettled Friday and I decided not to pass on my opportunity at this 88" buck Friday evening at 430 yards.





From Saturday on it was sunny and pleasant and we located another shooter.



Patterned him for a a couple of evenings and set up Monday afternoon and waited for him to appear. My brother made good on a 220 yard opportunity and tagged this 92" buck.



Not the biggest deer for either of us but pegged the satisfaction meter.

Back in Phoenix tired but rewarded with a great hunting experience.
