About a month ago, I sought help from the good Folks of Washington. I was on a mission to arrow all five North American deer species in a single season. This seemed like a logical course of action after I managed a P&Y Sitka Blacktail (Alaska), a P&Y Rocky Mtn Mule deer (Colorado), and a P&Y whitetail (S. Dakota). Many answered the call, but a very special thanks needs to be heaped on lokidog. He came through! Lokidog offered to host me on Decatur Island. Long story short, I arrowed a doe (I made a conservation decision to help with deer management and felt I should leave the horns for someone willing to do something with them- since my wife will not let me have mounts in the house). Thanks, heaps lokidog!!!!!!!!!
This past Saturday, all the stars aligned and my prayers were answered (I felt like my horse had won the triple crown). I arrowed the final Coues deer in the State of Arizona. I am looking forward to recounting the five hunts, now that the pressure is off. Watch for the write-up. For now, I wanted to let everyone who helped know I am thinking of you. Thanks, everyone! Please do not hesitate to ask me for help if you desire a hunt in Colorado!
Here are all the deer in the order they were gathered:
