Buddro Report post Posted June 12, 2019 I've looked around and cant find much on the topic. what do high mountain coues tend to do when the snow starts to hit? do they retreat to low country or hold out? and if they do how much snow does it take to move them, are they gunna hit the low stuff as soon as it gets cold or stay high all year long If it never gets deep?

tontotom Report post Posted June 12, 2019 There are Coues in Unit 1 and 27 up high at 7-8,000'. They don't move at all when it snows. No where to go really, they don't migrate. Usually they'll be up later in the morning. Hunting in December and January one will encounter snow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddro Report post Posted June 14, 2019 Thanks thats actually the areas I am most curious about, Ive found a lot of coues up high and want to chase them in December. I hope to be able to get in on cross country skis or snow shoes if they retreat to the low country it will kill half the fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 14, 2019 Coues are browsers, not grazers. Most of what they eat grows above ground, not on the ground so snow doesn’t affect them as much. It takes a LOT of snow to push them out of their hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted June 14, 2019 I won't say what unit because you guys get all freaked out about it...UNIT 29. I've seen alot of deer up high with alot of snow on the ground. Didn't seem to faze them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonne Report post Posted July 5, 2019 +1 I've glassed up a lot of deer in heavy snow in mid November. I was freezing my *** off, to put it lightly, all shivers, and they weren't bothered at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted July 5, 2019 Deer dont migrate otherwise all of the Mexican Coues would be in AZ looking for free stuff. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
