Guides & Outfitters

Coues deer are a very small deer found in southern Arizona and Mexico and they have the reputation of being the most difficult species to bowhunt on the North American continent. In 2005 I went on a super Coues deer hunt in the Sonora region of old Mexico with Enrique Molina owner of the 12,000 acre Chairababi and El Vergel Ranches. Both are bow only ranches. I hunted t he Chairababi which is 12,000 acres. The accommodations are very good, and the Coues hunting fantastic. Enrique is also a guide and knows bowhunting. The key is the weather. If it is dry (and it was very dry when I was there.......no rain since August), then they come to water. Wet weather and you have to stalk them......possible, but very difficult. Three of us got three record-book bucks the first two days of a 6 day bowhunt. You fly into Tuscon and Enrique meets you there, and transports you to the ranch. It's about a 3 hour drive. Good accomodations, good food, great Coues. A super experience. If you want a Coues deer, this is the place.
