To pursue some of the most elusive game, the hunter must sometimes adopt the role of the hunted. Steven Rinella has drawn a tag for the elusive Coues Deer in the rugged mountains of southern Arizona, where his spot-and-stalk techniques will be tested as he tracks these small, elusive creatures. To successfully harvest a deer, Steve must blend into his surroundings, moving quietly and remaining undetected—he must transform into a desert ghost. Embracing the local culture, he’ll also bring along a compact kit of tortillas, chiles, and all the essentials to make fire-grilled heart tacos.
