I am getting ready for my first Coues hunt this fall. Drew an October Coues tag in Arizona. I am devouring everything I can find on Coues as well as the area I will be hunting.
I didn’t see a very recent thread on Coues and have been through pretty much everything I can find on here.
Over half the fun is figuring it out so I really only have a general question. From what I have read and heard Coues is a glassing and scouting game first and foremost. My plan is to fly out on labor day weekend simply to drive and hike a bit to get a preliminary look at the area and narrow down a few general areas to concentrate come October and verify some potential water sources. For October, I will have 4 full days to scout and glass prior to the hunt as well as the entire length of the hunt. I wish I could do more but a fellow only has so much PTO and I also have a farm to think of.
Am I on the right track here?
