 Been a little slow on this forum so I thought I would add something new. 2016 Arizona Coues Deer. Since I hate when people just throw out scores I will only post a score if scored by an official scorer. Gross: 116 4/8 Net: 114 7/8 | ||

Ive shot a lot of Coues deer and some really big ones, 116 B&C was my best and its knarly and beautiful 12 point, but don't think its as big as yours, where was yours killed. Mine was shot on my leased Rosillas ranch near the Big Bend National park, South of Marathon, Texas, another at 114 B&C near Musquez, Mexico across the river from Boquillas near the Big Bend National Park, Another almost that big off the Cap Yates Ranch Northeast of Marathon,Texas.. You have a big ole boy there, congratulations. The figures Im quoteing, like you, were taken by an interested party some years ago who claimed to be a B&C official..I have skull mounts of these deer in my office, but Ive never registered a kill of any kind in my lifetime of hunting world wide.

Very nice coues. Ray, wouldn't the whitetails you are talking about be considered Carmen Mountain whitetails and not coues deer? | |||

Coues or Del Carmin Whitetail, depends on who you talk to, Biolgist say the Del Carmin is a sub species all its own..Locals including my dad remember when during the CC camp days of Roosevelt they hauled a lot of Coues deer to the Big Bend National Park, and the deer on the Rosillas were Coues for sure as are the deer North of Marathon. Many of the adams brothers also hauled those deer to the park. It was putting folks back to work from the depression. Ive seen the Del Carmin deer in Mexico and shot them as a kid, They are now identified by some including SCI as Del Carmin and are very geographically close to the real coues deer in the West Texas area.. The way I can tell them apart, keeping in mind Sanderson is very close also and they have plain old whitetail, the river area and Marathon have coues (fantail or hog nose deer by the locals) and they are coues, The Del Carmin are South of Marfa, and in the Del Carmin mts. of Mexico..A big gap exist between the species and gives one wonder! All in all its a real cluster F instigated by folks that stopped by and screwed things up..Im sure all these species are interbreeding as the state now recognizes that the Mule Deer and Whitetails in Sanderson interbreed... Mine are Coues, hog nose, fantails, of that much Im sure. the Del Carmin,if that's what we shot looked more like regular whitetail and Sanderson is pretty close to the Del Carmin mountains.. Best I can do to help you out..but its suspicious at least when somebody comes out of nowhere and renames a breed of animal... Justin Filer is 4 miles from Twin Falls if that, today its just about one small metropolis.
