Coues Deer

New Mexico – Units 23, 24 & 27

This will be a public land hunt in either GMU 23, 24 or 27 for the Gray Ghost or the Coues Deer. These are prime Coues Deer hunting areas in New Mexico. We are licensed by the appropriate National Forests and Bureau of Land Management Districts and are one of the few that are licensed in Unit 27. If you apply for the Coues deer hunts MAKE SURE that you apply for the hunts listed as FAWTD. DO NOT APPLY FOR FAMD. FAWTD stands for Fork Antlered Whitetail Deer, this is the Coues hunt. FAMD stands for Fork Antlered Mule Deer.

We offer two types of archery hunts for Coues: a 2-day guided only hunt or a 5, 7 or 9-day guided only hunt.  Contact us for a price for the seven- or nine-day hunts.  The hunter will be responsible for all meals and motel or camp. If we are near a town, only in unit 24, we will hunt out of town from motels. The cost of the motel is your responsibility, but we will furnish all meals for your hunt. Remember, these hunts are in January and very likely will have bad and cold weather, that is why we offer guide-only hunts or may operate out of a motel.  If we hunt in an area that is a considerable distance from the nearest town with accommodations, you can either provide your own camp and food or we can do it for you but will charge you for the service.

The hunting methods for Coues is basically glass, glass, glass, move, glass, glass and glass some more.  Once the query is located than the plan will be devised to be able to get you a shot.  These hunts can be physical because of the terrain that the animals inhabit.  The better you are at long distance shots the greater your harvest opportunity will be.
