I shot a mule deer with and ELDX last week 300PRC 212gr at 575 yards. He didn't go 2 feet. In behind left rib and touched hide at neck on right side. Bullet retained a great deal of weight. I haven't weighed it for exact amount.
Two days later I shot a coues at 400 yards with the same load...
It takes a little getting used to but it works well. I used it for 7 days in Mexico in 2020 hiking miles of STEEP coues deer country and was able to deploy it rapidly if needed. I used it again in 2021 on a coues/mule deer combo in Mexico.
I do use it in conjunction with my Slogan Outdoors...
Thanks! He is 16" wide for a total score of exactly 110"
We saw 8 to 20 bucks a day - 180,000 acres (barb wire fence, no high fence). This guy was raking an ocotillo when he got shot. He had just chased a smaller buck off and had a doe locked down.
I haven't bow hunted coues in Mexico, just in...
No sir. I took my BOTW 300PRC. The outfitter arranges and handles all the paperwork. It’s a very smooth process really.

His exact quote is "I hate archery for coues. Completely inefficient and ineffective." I had to go back and find the text because I wanted to make sure I didn't misspeak! I have taken an archery coues OTC in AZ and it was a blast. He's a beautiful buck too. I encourage anyone to try it.
Jay Scott's Q&A's on instagram stories is loaded with info as well. I am not sure he covers much archery in his podcasts but Turkeygetpwnd39 is right - he's a wealth of coues knowledge in general and there's so many of his podcasts you can probably find something. I hunted in Mexico with him...
With a bow? Sit water. OTC tag in AZ in August - hot as heck but opportunity and coues in velvet are beautiful. Get drawn in NM early archery (beginning of September) in 23 and 24 - same. Sit water. NMGU 23,24 and 27 late archery (January) spot and stalk is a tough hunt but people do it with...
Diamond Outfitters - Borderland Adventures (Dan Adler and Matt Woodward). Fantastic lodging, great food and the easiest border crossing I have experienced to date. 180,000 acres, no high fences and lots of opportunity. I have been with other big named outfitters into Mexico but this was the...
Thanks ffgoss. Fantastic trip with one coues and one muley for me. Several javelinas took dirt naps and my buddy got a super wide Sonora mule deer. Already counting down the days until our 2022 trip.
