Grand Slam Hunting Cheats

Coues Deer
Stalking the hills and canyons is the preferred hunting method for this diminutive whitetail. With the rough terrain and the elusive nature of the Coues, you’ll need to take advantage of all daylight hours to locate bedding and feeding grounds. Coues’ small size and agile gait easily distinguishes them from mule deer or pronghorn in the area. A good pair of binoculars is essential for locating Coues in this uniform terrain. A .243 rifle or recurve bow should suit your needs.

Desert Mule Deer
Desert mule deer are gregarious animals, often forming large herds of mixed sexes. With their desert-like coloring, they can often rest comfortably under a tree where they remain nearly invisible. For this reason, stalking and still hunting are the preferred method of hunting muley. Stalking is best done early in the morning as herds move from feeding to bedding grounds. You may have to take some long range shots, so make sure to sight your rifle and use a high velocity cartridge.
