Coues Deer: 
 Stalking the hills and canyons is the preferred hunting method
 for this diminutive whitetail. With the rough terrain and the
 elusive nature of the Coues, you'll need to take advantage of
 all daylight hours to locate bedding and feeding grounds.
 Coues' small size and agile gait easily distinguishes them
 from mule deer or pronghorn in the area. A good pair of
 binoculars is essential for locating Coues in this uniform
 terrain. A .243 rifle or recurve bow should suit your needs. 
 
 Desert Mule Deer: 
 Desert mule deer are gregarious animals, often forming large
 herds of mixed sexes. With their desert-like coloring, they
 can often rest comfortably under a tree where they remain
 nearly invisible. For this reason, stalking and still
 hunting are the preferred method of hunting muley. 
 Stalking is best done early in the morning as herds
 move from feeding to bedding grounds. 
 You may have to take some long range shots, so make sure to
 sight your rifle and use a high velocity cartridge. 
 
 Pronghorn Antelope: 
 Although challenging, stalking is the most rewarding method
 of hunting pronghorn. Good optics are necessary and hunters
 must remain completely out of sight of their game for a
 successful kill. A rifle with a flat trajectory, good
 shocking power, and long-range capabilities is your best
 choice. Be absolutely certain of your shot; many pronghorn
 can run a full mile or more when mortally wounded and 
 valuable time can be lost tracking. 
 
 Desert Bighorn Sheep 
 Desert bighorn are gregarious, but separated by sex.
 Rams tend to stay with other rams of the same age,
 so one trophy status ram means that another is probably
 nearby. Patience and a good pair of binoculars are a
 sheep hunter's best friend. Carefully glass any rough
 cliffs or crags, desert bighorn like to bed down where
 they can view the area around them. Because you'll likely
 be taking most of your shots from a distance, quality
 optics and a high velocity, flat trajectory rifle are
