Hi Guys: I don't do this often, but when I do, it's because it is merited. Just got back from a stellar Coues Deer hunt with our own Greg Williams (GregW) and Arizona Backcountry Guide Services. I am not going to give all the details now, because I want to save those for a full write-up. However, I want to thank Greg and "Ringo" for helping me take a stellar, gorgeous, opening-day Coues Deer buck that I never would have taken without them -- no chance, no way. They made it happen. I just came along for the ride and got to see firsthand what a serious pair of Coues Deer hunters is all about. These guys have it BAD! Gents, I'll leave you with pics, GregW and Ringo can chime in as they like, and with the final thought that I could not be more pleased, nor endorse a Coues Deer outfit more. These guys are SERIOUS Coues Deer hunters, and if you want a big Coues Deer buck and are willing to do what it takes, these guys WILL take you there! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/images/Coues_GW_600.jpg) Greg Williams (GregW) with a buck that's as much his as mine. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/images/Coues_CR_600.jpg) CR ("Ringo") with a buck that's as much his as mine, as well. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/images/Rick_Coues_Kuiu_600.jpg) The happy, proud, and very fortunate man behind the rifle.

Greg's a super guy! Known him for years, and hunted with him many times. Glad y'all had a great hunt! Helluva buck!

Thanks guys, and a quick have-to-do edit. So I just texted Greg to tell him to check HC because I had put up a post. Know what he says?
"Will do. Gutting a deer currently."
Unreal.

Great buck Rick!
Congrats to all.

Rick; I'll dispense with my usual salutation as it would appear you are doing quite well indeed. Congratulations on that very nice Coues buck Rick - he's a dandy.  Thanks for sharing your hunt success with us, all the best to you and yours and good luck on your remaining hunts this fall Rick. Dwayne

nice deer

well done to all the gents involved
kudos to Rick for giving the credit that appears to be deserved to Greg and Ringo
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Congratulations Ric. One great deer.
Met Greg in his Texas years. Fine varmint hunter/caller too. Congrats Rick! Ask Greg about his "fishing excursion" with LT Powell in Texas  GregW is a goodun in my book.

What a great looking deer Rick. I have not met Greg, but I can tell you he is a fine human being, and a generous friend.
