January in the Arizona desert is one of my absolute favorite times of the year. For a bowhunter, it’s a winter wonderland to say the least. We get to chase both mule deer and coues deer with our bows, during the rut. The weather is phenomenal, and it’s a fantastic time to be out in the field.

Gabe Medrano glassing for coues deer in the Arizona desert

Backpack hunting is always high on my list this time of year and this past January was no different. My good buddy Gabe would be joining me in a brand new spot, which would mark his first backpack hunt ever. That in itself made the juice worth the squeeze, getting to bring him on his first backcountry hunt.

In this next episode of Dialed in Diaries, watch as Gabe and I backpack into the Arizona desert and pursue archery coues deer. Hunting coues with archery equipment is never an easy task, but always a rich experience. We saw a ton of deer, had a great time, and even came out heavier than we went in…

Watch Dialed in Diaries – Episode 7 – Archery Coues Deer

Thanks for Watching!

It’s funny how fast things can unfold in the field. This was a prime example of that. Getting to share that with a great friend was even better.

Thanks so much for watching and I hope you’ve been enjoying these episodes! I’ve got one more episode to show you all, that will wrap up Season 1 of Dialed in Diaries. My buddy Brad Brooks hit the hills for more archery coues deer together and make some great memories. That will be Episode 8. Keep your eyes out!
