CRH Ep. 15 Arizona Archery Coues Deer Success!

09/05/23 • 74 min

I finally got back on the board with a nice velvet coues deer! In this episode I explain a little about my history chasing velvet coues deer with a bow to explain why this was such an important success for me. This hunt took place very close, sometimes too close, to the southern border with the Border Hunter himself, my buddy Lance. I'm very grateful to him for sharing this spot. I recap the hunt, including the vicious doe mosh pit, and go in detail about how I preserved the velvet and still made a Euro mount of the skull. I think this is a game changer for velvet antlers. I hope you enjoy it and maybe learn a little to help your hunting game.

CRH Ep. 14 Catching Up and Getting Ready for AZ Archery Deer

Once again I've been too long in getting an episode out. It's time to catch up and talk about Arizona archery deer season. In this episode I talk about my daughter's bison hunt, other cool stuff I've been up to and go in depth about my approach to the early season archery deer hunt in Arizona. I give some of my stories and tips about hunting tree stands and blinds, mostly geared towards coues deer in Arizona, but applicable no matter where you are. I even throw in a story about my recent death march hike.
I have been planning to do another episode for a while and really wanted to do one specifically on my daughter's bison hunt called The Truth About Hunting Bison in Arizona. I needed some time to reflect on some of the drama from that hunt and finally decided to hold off on that. Since then I've encountered several people who have said how much they have enjoyed my previous podcasts and wondering what I was going to do next. I'm really quite flattered and surprised by the positive feedback I've received. Getting weekly emails from my podcast hosting site telling me how many more downloads it receives each week has been prodding me to do another. I really appreciate the fact that people are listening and reaching out even though I haven't uploaded an episode in almost four months! Thanks for listening. I don't make any money doing these and don't intend to, but I do enjoy sharing some of my thoughts and experiences to people who want to hear them. Please feel free to contact me through my Instagram at Closerangehunter or by email at [email protected]. I hope you enjoy this one.
Thanks,
Chris

CRH Ep. 16 A Broken Heart and Guiding Backcountry Coues Deer Hunt.

It's been a long time again. So long I forgot what episode I was on. I said 15 in the podcast, but it is 16. This one kind of rambles a bit because I just had to get one done so I sat down without notes or a plan and hit record. There's been a lot going on around here with the biggest thing being that I had a "cardiac event". That story is intertwined with the recap of a rifle coues deer hunt I guided in November and a brief bit about my archery javelina hunting so far this month. There's a good tip hidden in the coues deer story so listen up.
I'm still amazed that I'm getting downloads every week even though I haven't made a podcast in four months. I'm going to try to be more reliable and regular. Hopefully about once a month. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it.
