    Which season for coues?

    I like others prefer the December hunts because the rut reall gets the bucks moving. However, I will mention that the rut can really screw things up as well. I have scouted and watched bucks all summer and fall and have a pretty good idea where they live but as soon as the rut kicks I can't seem to find the same bucks because they are off chasing some tail on another ridge somewhere.

    Where do you find most sheds????

    I agree with everyone about finding sheds on the south facing slopes, I've found plenty on the south slopes myself from walking and even glassing. I am kind of suprised that nobody is talking about bedding areas? I have found plenty of coues sheds in bedding areas. In fact the largest coues shed I have is a typical 4 point from New Mexico. I only found the one side but it scores 54 inches by itself. I think most of the larger sheds I have found come from areas of thick cover. My guess is the reason so many of us focus on the south facing hills is because they tend to be more open which allow a person to see more ground, or in other words they are the "easy pickins". However, I think in reality the big bucks spend very little time in the open where most people spend there time looking for sheds. It is true that sheds are where you find them, but with my time spent looking for sheds I will concentrate on thicker bedding and transition type areas where the big bucks like to hole up. Good Luck!
