Coues Movement

Recommended Posts

I posted earlier about my stand setup that had some people camping 4/10 mile away....

 

I am just wondering if I would be better off sitting it in the morning, or in the evening?

 

Most answers will be: "Both!" But I have class in the morning and as much as I would like to blow off class to hunt, I need to be realistic....

 

I need to make a decision in the next hour or so.....Help Please!

I wasn't sure from your prior post if you are sitting water or not. Sounded like you are sitting a trail and hoping the deer walk by?

 

If you have limited time and you are sitting water, then I would sit it mid-day, say 11 am -2 pm. If you are sitting a trail hoping to catch movement, then I would sit it in the morning since they seem to move more in the morning than evening.

My setup is along a creek, I have about a 150 yard view along the water and I know where they funnel off of the ridge to get down there. There is a corridor that they travel off of the ridge and down through the creek into the thick. I just do not know when they travel it. I know I sound like an idiot, rookie hunter, but that's not the case. I am just new to AZ and lost when it comes to coues. I grew up hunting in tree stands, and I am quickly finding that this may not be the best method...This isnt the Pacific Northwest haha. I might be bothering you guys with questions, but Ill never conquer these coues without your experienced advice.

 

Again, thanks for the help!

If you plan to just sit water then sit it whenever you can, I've seen deer drink all times of the day - just depends on when they get thirsty.
