Quick Bonsai run to AZ

[Lungpopper]

Me and a buddy left Saturday morning at 2 to run over to AZ.
We have Coues tags for November and wanted to scout the area.
First thing we found out was that every Bush has a thorn on it. We had the wrong clothes for the area. But that’s why you scout an area out “Wright “. We still managed to work our way in and found some deer.
Saturday I found a doe bedded. Way up high over 2,000 yards away. I could only range out to 1,826 and she was out farther. We were walking out in the dark with no lights and I nearly stepped on a rattlesnake, seriously within inches. There was a lot of jumping and yelling going on for a very exciting few seconds.
Sunday morning I spotted 4 bucks with one really nice buck in the group. Last picture three of the four bucks are in that picture. Didn’t stay long , we were back on the road by 8 am to head home

Everything in AZ bites! The cholla cactus are the worst! I swear they jump onto you. Pumped for this hunt good work guys can’t wait to get behind the glass.

Hi Lungpopper
That is a fat rattler!
Looked like a fun scouting trip.
Do you have snake chaps instead of
Snake gaiters.?
Up here in the high desert it helps with the cactus and thorns.
just a suggestion.
Nice job spotting the deer.
How far did you hike?
Best

Good luck in November. What clothes would have been better?

We did 2 miles on one side of the mountain before we decided it was way to nasty to hike through. Then drove around to the other side and did 6 miles. I have chaps and will be taking them in a couple of weeks for scout trip # 2.

The Coues hunt is so addicting! Going back for my third year in November. Just a really fun deer to hunt, and wildlife everywhere.
