THE HUNGER

EP. 3 | "Mexico Coues Deer Hunt Recap" - Brad Fitzpatrick

Episode Summary

Recapping a week-long Coues deer hunting adventure in Sonora, Mexico, with fellow hunter and outdoor writer Brad Fitzpatrick.

Episode Notes

The beautiful, rugged landscape of Rancho Mababi is loaded with wildlife diversity. I joined outdoor writer Brad Fitzpatrick there, along with several other great friends and outdoor industry professionals, to go after Coues deer while testing a new bolt-action rifle from Mossberg. After wrapping up our first-ever hunt for these cagey little whitetails, Fitzpatrick and I got together to recap our comprehensive experience. We share stories from the hunt, along with helpful advice for rookie Coues deer hunters.
