Green Bullet Report post Posted December 18, 2023 Taking my daughter down to 34a next week for rifle Coues. Ran those hills quite a bit for archery but it’s hard to get those bucks on those hills with a bow. Looking forward to improving our odds with the 7 mag lol hows the pre rut looking in the southern units? If I had to guess I’d say big boys are still hiding given the heat and dryness but my guesses usually suck… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dustin25 Report post Posted December 22, 2023 Been in 34a. Astounding lack of deer movement in general, and absolutely zero sign of rut activity. Anyone seeing anything out there? Really banking on this storm stirring the pot it seems! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zslayer Report post Posted December 27, 2023 Still too early for southern coues but is anyone seeing any rut action in the central units after that last storm and cool temps? I’d imagine the mule deer in the southern units are starting a little? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
