Jay Scott On Coues Deer Hunting
Like I’ve mentioned a couple of times in previous episodes, I have an Arizona coues deer hunt coming up in late December.
So with that in mind, today I’ll be interviewing Jay Scott of Jay Scott Outdoors who knows a whole lot more about coues deer hunting than I do. Now my Friend Fred Bohm and I talked about coues deer hunting all the way back in Episode 9. That episode provides a good overview of what coues deer are, where they live, and generally how to hunt them. Today, Jay and I are going to go into a whole lot more detail on the finer points of Coues Deer hunting and exactly how to go about hunting these wiley desert whitetails.
Feel free to send me a message with any feedback you have on the show as well as topic requests for future episodes.

Sponsor
I’ve been a GoHunt INSIDER member for the past few years and I’ve used the information they provide to research what hunts to apply for and find those “hidden gem” units where you can have a great hunt, but still have a reasonable chance of drawing. That cost of that membership has paid for itself many times over with the number of tags I put in for, drew, and had a great hunt on that there’s no way I would have known about otherwise.
These hunts don’t require a lot of preference points either, so don’t let anyone tell you that you need 10 or more points to have a quality hunt. I drew my Arizona deer tag this year with 3 points. Every other tag I’ve ever drawn has required 0, 1, or 2 points and I’ve had a great hunt on every single one of those tags. There’s no reason you can’t do the same thing either.
So, sign up for an INSIDER membership at GoHunt.com and you can get the information you need to plan a great DIY hunt on public land for yourself. Use promo code BIGGAMEHUNTER when you sign up to get $50 in store credit at their gear shop. Not only will you get the information that will help you know exactly what units to apply for in order to have a fun hunt with a reasonable chance of drawing, but you’ll also get $50 in store credit that you can use to buy some good quality hunting gear at the same time.
