I appreciate the offer "Cells4soul" I will confirm with you early November once I figure out my schedule in regards to Turkey day. Its sorta of a big thing in my family and they might disown me lol. If so can you be my new family lol jk. Again I appreciate the offer.

Thanks makes sense with leaving the cooler in the truck. And i definitely have 4x4 I have a 1994 toyota Land cruiser with locking diffs. You have me intrigued, with the lower rolling hills. That iss interesting I thought they liked to stay high and tight away from anything that doesn't resemble a fellow coues deer. Whats your opinion on why they are hangout out on lower hills ?

Thanks for the advice, and you got my spirits high with your early observations of what you have seen so far thanks again.

First off want to say how fortunate I feel that a site like this exists for those who are new to the game of Coues deer hunting. Originally from Arizona moved west to Comifornia as a kid. Have spent several years hunting most of central and southern California (mule deer, quail, pheasant, and turkey), public land only. I decided that I would do something a little different this year and apply for a tag in southern Arizona and try my hands at a Coues hunt. And I picked several different units all with the intention of wanting to draw something that started (November 25) figured it would bring me luck since its my birthday. Anyways I plan on heading early/mid September(spend about a week) grab the usual Topo maps for the area kind of check out the refuge and other things I found interesting while looking the unit over on Google Earth. I had a few questions that I hope could be answered honestly by the members on here and hopefully I don't get trolled to hard by keyboard warriors. 1. I am gathering from reading past post that this area seems to have a very steady flow of two legged critters that might not be so legal in the US. If so are most just illegals trying to cross for a better life or is the traffic more drug mule related? I was possibly thinking of driving as far as possible in my truck and then hike in deep away from what would be the normal areas locals would hunt I would assume. Thoughts/advice? 2. Is it safe to camp out in this area? Might even be doing this hunt on my own without my usual hunting partner, he started a new job and I have a feeling he wont be able to get away. Again maybe all these questions will be answered as I head down during September. 3. I don't want specific areas( to hunt) but I will admit that I might of bit a little more then I should of but screw it, I am up for a good challenge. ( I would prefer PMs) I am curious as to main access points to enter with a truck not specific hunting spots. I have no problem hiking deep in. 4. What are the main areas most people seem to congregate and or hunt, because I personally would rather like to try not what every other weekend warrior will be doing, again I have no problem hiking in deep. Again, any advice, suggestions, and a little bit of trolling I don't mind... Thanks, Daniel
