Coues Activity

[ElkDeer]

I was lucky enough to draw a tag in 32 this year and have a question in regards to coues activity. We usually put in for coues at the end of October but it has been hot that last two times we've been out so we decided to try for a little later hunt and we drew tags for November 9th - 18th. I can see from the Life Stages graph on this website that in November the deer are between the Antler Polishing stage and the Breeding stage. I know that the peak of the Breeding stage is in December/January; however, will the deer's activity change that much from the end of October to the Middle of November. We all ready have scouting trips planned but wanted to see if anyone had any input on this? Two years ago I was playing with a coues-deer grunt call and accidentally called one in about 10:30 AM. Does anyone use a call or antlers for imitating fighting when hunting coues? Thank you for any responses. Have a blessed day!

Yes its still hot in november but maybe a little better the oct. My last nov. hunt I got up at 4 am and starting hiking and was sweating pretty good. I don't think it got bellow 75 degrees. The next morning however I woke up with frost on my deer hanging in the tree. I like nov. hunt because the chances its a little cooler are better and a few extra days to hunt... if I need them.
