I just returned from a Coues hunt in Sonora, Mexico. Hunted with Full Curl Outfitters of Arizona booked it here on AR. Great hard working guys, Chase Christopher and Jay Park. They also own The Mountain Project which is a video company that makes hunting films. And they both have full time jobs.

We found and took a 116 5/8 Coues deer there which was what I was looking for. Last year they took a 125 and a 122 plus two more that also made the book. That is 100% as they had four hunters. They scout in all their spare time it seems and know what they are looking for. Sharp eyes and all Swaro optics help-even the vaqueros have eagle eyes. They also have very accurate rifles for the clients if they don't want to bring their own. Proof Research rifles with dope to way out there. I just used my 270. It always seems to work.


The food was local fare and plenty of it. They hired two ladies from a local village who did a good job. Even made homemade tortillas. The only hard part was the drive from the pavement to the ranch house where we stayed. Rough road and slow but quite an adventure. Of course, I like adventure so it was fun. Just part of third world hunting. I will post some photos if I can get some help on the process.

Best, Tom Van Diepen

Every ranch in Sonora may not have book Coues deer, but you can bet they all have home made tortillas!

Cool... taking it that you flew into Hermosillo and drove from there? Looking forward to the pictures also!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Congratulations on a fantastic coues buck! Sounds like an excellent hunt and outfitter.

I haven’t hunted coues deer in a long time, need to do that again, sooner than later.

No, flew to Tucson and drove from there. Hermosillo would have been way easier.
