I've wanted to plan that hunt for years.
You guys use a guide or diy?
Spot & stalk or still hunt?
Story?
Congrats!

Huge Kudo's to you, sir.
The only decent Coues bucks I ever saw were either 1,000 yards away or running away like mad.... or both.

That's one of my dream hunts. To have the extra time and money (sigh). Maybe when I'm retired :dunno:

33
I hunted 33 and 32 my whole life My biggest is out of 33. I normally stick around redington. Lot a people there but, I know how to get away from them.
These are my two biggest to date. The one on the left is out of 32 and the one on the right is from 33.

I took this velvet muley in the 2010 Aug otc archery... I wanted to hold out for one of the nice coues i had on cam, but couldnt let him walk by me...
as a new WA hunter I could use some direction for my scouting... I can help anyone that wants to do some AZ hunting... I have a 2011 AZ deer, javelina, and turkey tag still, but I think I'm going to focus my scouting in WA...

Joebear called that bigger buck into shooting range with a grunt tube and a Deer Talker. Freakin' exciting...

Dandy buck, EAS! Do you generally archery hunt or rifle? Your picture obviously indicated archery, but just curious about what you plan on doing in WA.

I like to hunt both archery and rifle... in az if you dont get drawn for general rifle hunts, your stuck with over the counter archery only tags... which I've also grown to love. I spent many years in an area thats very promissing... food plot and licks tended to monthly... just started poping this last year then i went and moved :bash:
In AZ, the rut starts in December for most units... and I believe they got a big cold front 2-3 weeks ago that should have sent them right into rut!! to bad i was on the road with a moving truck :(
anyone lookin to hunt AZ should check out coueswhitetail.com

With elk it's the same, but you have to choose eastside/westside, so you're stuck with an area but it's half the state. Unless you draw the multi-season tag and then you can hunt the whole state - again, during the hunting seasons for each of the weapons.
I always put in for the multi-season tags but they're expensive. I think that they're $180 each if you draw now. That would get prohibitely expensive if you don't become a WA resident, I think. You might want to put in for the moose, sheep and goat tags in WA, though.
