John-this is just me but my tuning fork tells me that the outfitter may be just a bit full of it or himself. I've been around Coues a fair bit and to date I've not seen a place/time where one had to go to that long of ranges to get things done.

It sure is helpful to have people come ready to rock, but I'd personally be concerned with them being able to plant them to 500 and not much more. IME, expecting hunters to come ready to go to 600-750 and do it right is expecting a bit much.

I gotta ask, who's the outfitter?

Many thx, and sorry if I sound a bit too skeptical this morn.

Coues are a fantastic critter, far and away in my top 3 right up there with bruins and yotes.
