Like I mentioned a couple of times in previous episodes, I had a coues deer hunt scheduled for a week before Christmas. Well, I have good news: I punched my coues deer tag over in Arizona! On this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast, I’m going to tell you how my Arizona coues deer hunt went, recap a couple of lessons I learned, and share a few recommendations for you to keep in mind if you want to go coues deer hunting in the future.
Feel free to send me a message with any feedback you have on the show as well as topic requests for future episodes.

Application season for most of the western states is coming up fast. If you want to go on do it yourself adventures on public land out west like I did this year hunting pronghorn, mule deer, and coues deer, then you need to check out goHunt and sign up for their Insider membership. They have some of the most comprehensive information available anywhere on where to go to hunt iconic western animals (like mule deer, pronghorn, elk, and yes, even Coues Deer.) They specialize in providing information you need to draw the necessary tag, and what hunting tactics work best in specific areas. I’ve used goHUNT for the past several years with great success and cannot recommend them highly enough.
With their help, I’ve been able to find and draw “hidden gem” tags in several different states that there’s no way I would have known about on my own. Specifically, I applied for and drew my Colorado pronghorn tag and my Arizona coues deer tag this year as a direct result of information I learned from goHunt.
