New Mexico Coues Deer Hunting

Hunting the Grey Ghost

Ridgeline Outfitters hunts in many different units throughout New Mexico for Coues whitetail. These unique deer are smaller than your typical whitetail and are extremely wary. Referred to as the Gray Ghost, they are one of the most challenging big game animals to hunt in Arizona and New Mexico. They have great camouflage and sharp senses, making it even more rewarding when you harvest one. Many hours are spent hiking and glassing for these ghosts of the desert. This is typically a physically challenging hunt because of the terrain these deer live in. We generally will put the hunters on deer that score anywhere from 90″-110″. Since Coues deer are smaller, this standard is definitely something to be proud of.
