Rifle Coues Deer outfitters in Arizona or New Mexico?
Any recomendation is very much appreciated. Looking to add one for my SCI 29 in 2014.
Thanks.

My co-author of the book, Duwane Adams, is one of the best.

I have decided to book with Steve Ward of Wards Outfitters.
There were nothing but positve reviews all over the internet, plus hes completly booked for 2013, and taking bookings for 2014 now. The hunting Report was all positive as well.
If successfull, this will be mt 12th animal for my SCI NA29.
Thanks so much.

Sounds like you will be hunting in Mexico then, huh?

You're almost halfway to the 29, so not too many to go. I haven't counted lately, but I'm thinking it's about 13-16. I'm hoping to add an AZ desert sheep to the tally in Dec.

That said, I doubt I'll ever get many more species in the future. Most are now out of reach because of my age/physical limitations, cost, drawing a permit or logistics. Adding an AZ free-range bison is the most likely, if I ever draw a tag.

Good luck in your quest.

Right, I know he does. But he likely can't be all booked for 2013 yet since the permit application period for those hunts is still nine months off, and those who do draw won't know until late July/early Aug. Wink

Now if you plan on an archery hunt, that's a different case altogether, but since the title of this thread has "rifle" in it....

Well, good luck regardless of what you use.

Right now, the AZ G&FD is considering a rule change that will ban baiting. It would likely go into effect next year and put a bit of a crimp in it for anyone who depends on it a lot for a high success rate.
