CRH Ep. 11 My 2022 Rifle Coues Deer Hunt

December 01, 2022 • CJ Dunn

For this episode I took my recorder into the field to document my 2022 rifle coues deer hunt. I packed into the Arizona desert wilderness solo, but with a couple of my llamas carrying all my food and gear. It was a great time to be hunting in the desert. I go over some of the gear used as well as tactics I typically use for this type of hunt and recap the hunt as I go. For the first time I ran into some other guys hunting in the area and one of them, Alex, shot a real nice buck. Listen up to see how it went down for me.

I also talk a little about the AZ OTC elk hunt and my hopeful guest/co-host for the next episode.

I apologize for the slightly blown out audio for the second part. I set the recording levels properly and it sounded fine in the headphones while I was recording so I'm not sure what happened, but I didn't want to wait until I had the time to redo it.
