zslayer Report post Posted February 21, 2020 I wanted to see what those of you with the experience have to say about Coues deer and burn areas. do you see Coues deer use burn areas the same as you would see elk and mule deer pound them? Also, when would you say a old burn is prime, 1yr, 2yr, ect.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alpinebullwinkle Report post Posted February 22, 2020 From my experience the coues bucks are only caught in those open burns nocturnally. Maybe does in the daylight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
