Alex-

I noticed the same thing when I first tried my new Al glove, probably do to the reinforcing on the fingers –

but after shooting it a week [ 60lb bow] it has worn in nicely.

I just got one and love it ! great glove!

Real nice people to deal with.

I sent in my hand tracing and they called me saying it looked like I needed large fingers on a medium glove. yes, that has been my problem. Had to modify other gloves to fit.

The one they sent me fits perfectly, looks great, shoots great.

Highly recommend if you shoot a glove—

Dave –

Great News ! Outstanding!

Next time You all are in a good fight like this let me know, I will always be happy to help out in any way I can. I am a BHA member and involved here in NM with our problems, but still hunt in AZ as much as I can so would be happy to do anything there [or anywhere] that moves our ideas forward.

Congrats to you and Don and everyone who managed to orchestrate this victory for the cause !

Scout.

One sees Frozen{off] ears on WT/M deer fairly often on the Plains,

especially this yr. Just saw a couple in NE in Nov.

in reply to: Coues Deer Hunting? #21245

According to the 2013 NM game regs —

No use of any material or scent allowed to “entice” animals.

There is an allowance to Feed Quail on private Land only.

although the Battle over waterholes that are easy to reach and/or atv misuse is a problem like AZ.

In NM one has to draw a tag [including archery deer] but a nonresident has a better chance than a resident [good for you folks -]

there are coues deer in NM, some good areas – just not quite as many as AZ,and the drought and weather have been pretty much the same. Hopefully the next couple of yrs will be better.

If anyone is interested I can give some basic Ideas on where to try and go– the better spots [unless you know someone -private land] you will have to hump in to. But Coues are a lot lighter than elk to pack out -haha

Scout.

PS — David is absolutely correct on Waterholes being your best bet with Tradgear! Coues deer arguably are one of the most difficult {the most IMHO} animals to spot{ hard to do to start with} and stalk { difficult/noisy terrain} on the Planet. I am still working on that with a bow -haha – great fun in beautiful desert country, and warmer [usually] than most late seasons in the country

Adirondackman –

I have hunted Coues a lot in the past. It does not look like I will get out for the Late season this year [Pers problems/work ]I normally pick up an AZ archery deer permit [ otc]it allows you to hunt most of the state in the early season but pretty much just the southern [ and west] portion of the state in the second half [ 1st part late august -early sept, 2nd part mid dec to end of Jan.]Of course the late hunt{jan} is rut for Coues/desert Mule Deer.

Any of the “Mtn Islands” NForest lands in the SE quarter of the state have pop of Coues. Some more than others and some easier to access [ which can be a problem in AZ].The AZ Game & fish web site has a very good write up under it’s “Where to Hunt” category in the Hunt section. Lot of info on each Game unit and how to hunt it, and where to look there for each type of game.

Jembo –

young ones are pretty good if you marinate them first and slow cook or smoke–But they will never be as good as feral hog. Check out Javelinahunter.com for all kinds of info {bunch of recipes] on the little musk pigs. Speaking of which – the real reason people have problems eating them is the scent! Be sure to Clean your Jave right away – the musk gland will come off pretty easy when you skin it [Mostly attached to the skin at top of rump]. The trick is to make sure the skin{hair side} and the musk gland DO NOT Touch the meat during /after removal. I use gloves [surgical] while skinning and a different blade. then handle the meat barehanded [or another set of gloves if cold]and a different or thoroughly cleaned original knife-

If you don’t mind saying what unit you are Hunting I might be able to give some insight. I have hunted the desert of SW NM and SE AZ a lot.

Alex–

You could try Gold Tip Tradionals – they are wood grained finish and shoot well from a couple of my r/d bows. I am shooting the 55-75s with 170 Bbears 100gr steel adapters /100gr brass inserts for an arrow around 700+grs [28 1/2″]

They are not Black anyway -haha

Seems like you were, and your opinion is fine –

I like hunting Pigs a lot, and will continue to hunt them in the places that like em —

my first comment was on which were the most tasty [Some game recipes]in answer to a question about how to determine sex etc. Not what was allowed or not allowed depending on area or circumstance.
