.Howdy folks, here's some details about our last hunt in beautiful Sonora, Mexico last season!
Our last trip was at the end of January and we knew going into it that the rut was tapering off. We were still hopefull that we'd find some great bucks for our clients and the hunt was on!
First up was Matt. Matt has killed a giant 203" Muley with us before and he was back looking for another! The Muley rut was very scarce this past season and it was one of the toughest years to hunt Muleys south of the border. Our thoughts for this hunt was to high rack the country where the post rut bucks were hanging out and hopefully we'd find one up and feeding. This same country also holds Coues deer so this would be a combo hunt! Matt did see a couple bucks, the biggest being a 170" class buck that Matt decided to pass on. Coincidentaly, immediately after passing up that nice Muley, Matt and crew rolled up on a very nice Coues buck and Matt made an incredible shot taking his biggest Coues buck at that time! He didn't know yet that he would kill a bigger buck a few days later!

Continuing to pound the hills for a giant Muley, Matt kept his focus and stayed with it. He was excited about his success with the Coues buck but was still hoping for a giant Muley or a bigger Coues! The hunt for Muleys got slower with each day so our focus turned more to finding a Coues. It didn't take long and Matt found himself settling his crosshairs on yet another beautiful Coues buck and took him with a perfect single shot! Congrats on your awesome Coues bucks Matt, we'll get that second giant Muley next season!

Next up was Terry. Terry had already been hunting with another outfitter earlier in the season but was unsuccessful so he came back down with us to give it another shot! We hunted Muleys unsuccessfully for the first few days and again changed plans and went Coues hunting! It only took 1 evening after changing our target animal and we had Terry on 3 nice Coues bucks. Terry did a great job with remaining calm and patient and once the biggest buck gave him a clear shot he dropped em' in his tracks! This was Terry's first ever Coues buck and even though he's got a broken tine on the left it's still a really nice buck! Congrats Terry, we look forward to hunting with you next season!
