Gail & Brett Sherwood's Mexico Coues

I was able to hunt with my Uncle Gail and cousin Brett this year. On the second day of hunting Brett and I found this buck from the first morning and snuck into 400yds and Brett took his great 109" buck.

On the 3rd morning we all headed to a spot that we've seen some good bucks in the past. As we glassed the far off mountains I kept coming back to a little spot only 200yds away. On my 3-4 time swinging my bino's through this spot there was this buck and a doe standing there. My Uncle Gail was a little ways a way and I had to get his attention really quickly. He got over there faster than I imagined he could move. He got set up on a tripod and took this buck.

I couldn't have been happier for my Uncle Gail. He's been down to the ranch with me 3 different times and this is his biggest buck. I hope I have the chance to hunt with him again and take a bigger buck. It's fun to watch him get excited to hunt coues at his age. Uncle Gails buck scored 112"

Buck Leavitt's 120" Mexico Coues

 On the 3rd day of hunting Buck and I were able to glass this giant coues buck up. After a long hill climb Buck was able to get within 400yds and take this great deer. This deer scores right at 120" This was Buck second trip to Mexico with us. This deer has it all long main beams, Giant G2's, Kickers and Mass.

Broc Brimhall's Mexico Coues

This is Broc Brimhall's buck from Mexico this past season. Broc was holding out for a giant buck, But with a couple of bad days of weather and the deer not completely in the rut we struggled to find the giant. Broc's brother Brett and I had found this buck three day before and named him the "red" hill buck. Everyday he would be hanging out on the red hill. On the last day Broc, Brett and I went in and found the " RED HILL" buck and Broc ended up taking him at over 600 yds.

Here's a great buck that Brett Brimhall took with us on our Mexico trip this past season. This buck escaped a few shots for a couple of hunters but was finally brought down by Brett. Thanks Brett and Ryan for the fun trip this year.

Ryan Diquattro Mexico Coues

Here's a great Mexico coues we took this past year with Ryan Diquattro. After having some major rifle problems the day before. We snuck into one of my favorite spots and found this buck. After the first shot my heart sank when Ryan's rifle was off again. He compensated for the miss and made his second shot count. This buck has some of the same characteristics as our big 130" buck we took off the ranch a few year's prior. Congratulations Ryan on a great buck.

Eric Decker's Mexico Coues

Here's a buck I was able to help Eric take on one our ranches in Mexico. We found this buck and two others rutting a couple does really hard. We got set up and waited on the buck to give us a perfect shot. Eric made a great shot at 400 yds taking his first Mexico buck. The buck scored 108". Thanks to Buck Leavitt for all his help.

Christel Wehling's Mexico Coues

Christel and her husband Ed joined us in Mexico this year for our coues hunt. This would be their first time hunting coues. We had a few days of bad weather that put a damper on our hunting. When the weather broke we made a trip around the ranch and found this buck bedded in the snow. Christel made a great shot on her first coues deer. Thanks Ed and Christel for the fun time in Mexico.

Rick Wood / Mexico Coues

High Desert Outfitters donated a hunt to the California Deer Association in 2006. Rick Wood bought this hunt at auction and came hunting with us on our Mexico ranch. We teamed him up with guide Mike Hancock and they hit it off from the start. They hunted hard for 5 days and finally decided this was the buck for them.Rick's buck scored 105. Sorry about the first picture and the grass Rick.

Tom Haney's Double in Mexico

Tom Haney has hunted our Mexico ranch 5-6 times. A couple of years ago he decided he would buy two tags and hunt for two weeks. On the first hunt he hunted with me and this is the buck we ended up taking. We had been on a bigger buck early on in the hunt but due to day light fading and the buck not getting up Tom decided not to take the shot and maybe wound or blow the buck out of the country. We glassed this buck up close to 3/4 of mile away and made a play on him. Tom shot this buck with a 300 weatherby mag. These pictures don't really do this buck justice. He scored 102.

Gail Sherwood's Mexico Buck 2011

Here is the buck my Uncle Gail took with me on my ranch in old Mexico. This is the 3rd time Gail has been on the ranch. The first year he was there he and I hunted together and found a buck that was one of the biggest bucks I have ever seen. I thought the buck would score in the high 120's. We didn't connect on the giant buck and I know the buck still haunts me. On this trip Gail and his son David only had a couple of days to hunt due to prior commitments back in the valley. Gail and I got to a glassing point early and were on bucks before the sun was even up. We were after a buck that was around 100" but when this buck chased a doe right to us we decided to go ahead and take advantage. Gail made two great shots on this buck with his 300 RUM at over 350 yds.

Jason Sherwood's Sonoran Coues

Here's the buck I took on the hunt with my friend Mike Delgado. I took this buck with my 300 RUM.

Mike Delgado's Sonoran Coues

My friend Mike Delgado and I did a self guided hunt for coues in Mexico.  We had a great time being on the ranch by ourselves and doing all of our own cooking and chores. Mike made a great shot on this buck at 350 yds. Mike and I started hunting coues together in the late 90's. We took our first coues deer together on the same day on our first hunt.

Jerry Watkins Mexico Buck

Jerry took this great looking coues deer with HDO on our ranch in Mexico. This buck has split G2's like the 128" buck that R.H. Bryant took with us. We've seen this gene on a few other bucks on the ranch. Jerry's buck scored 108 with over 6 inches broken off the main beam.

Kevin Keime's Mexico Buck

Kevin Keime took this buck on our ranch in Old Mexico. The first few days of the hunt was cold and windy.  We moved to area that was protected from the wind and found this buck rutting a doe. I had Kevin and Martin move a little closer in on the buck while I kept an eye on the him. Kevin made a great shot at 250 yds.
