Thanks for the replies, I have done a better search of the site using the search feature and have gotten tuns of info and storries about UDA's and drug runners. I would still like as much safety tips as possible though. I would definetly have a pistol on my side. With 800 permits seem like there would be lots of activity between hunters BP and UDA. Is a hunter less likely to have problems hunting north of Ruby road instead of south? The road is pretty close to the border. Thanks again, Gabe

I am considering driving down from Colorado and picking up a 36 B leftover tag. I was wondering if you guys could give me some safety tips as far as dealing with drug runners and UDI. I apologize if there is a big post on the subject but I have looked and found nothing major. I know the suthern part of the unit is closed because of problems. It would be at least me and my dad I was thinking of bringing 2 hounds to tie at camp to wake us up if some thing fishy was going on at night. What else do you do. Camp with other hunters. Camp low in the deseert and drive up higher in the dark. If I hunt 10 or 15 miles north of the border would that make the hunt much safer. Or does a guy need to hunt further north to get the odds safer?To this Coloradin the northern half of the unit seems safer but maybe the deer are further south? I typiccly hunt away from roads and walk a lot and glass a lot.But it seems to me that drug runners would also stay away from roads and we would be more likely to have a run in, in remote country. When problems happen is it stuff getting stolen from camps, deer spooking or what? I would appreciate any help it's hard to know how unsafe it is down there from 13 hours away. It's kind of like driving through a big unfamilar city you try to stay in good parts of town but you only know when your in bad parts of town when you are already there! Me and my day have quail hunted Arizona a lot my dad went to high school in San Manuel, but we have never hunted coues. I have researched this hunt for probably 4 years and this is the year. We might bow hunt them in the rut and hunt away from the border. The gun hunt sounds fun though. Thanks Gabe

You should be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry proud. Teach me all of you'r secrets so i can turn my 2 month old girl into a good hunter.

That buck looks awesome. 2 or 3 years ago I saw a 4x4 mulie in the mid 150s that was off white not totaly albino, I would love to get an arrow in him this fall. I have also seen a doe mule deer that had huge spots looked like a antelope. Nothing black other than bears and slow moving elk .

Good job. The top buck must be a model.

Is that deer on the same stuff as barry bonds?

I hate it when you ask a question and then figure out the SIMPLE answer. O well Thanks

Does anybody know of any good coues hunting videos? I bought the only one in western colorado called western whitetail hunting 1 and 2. It was ok you could tell it was older. It gave me a qiuick fix but I need more. Thanks Gabe Killed may bulls on that left ridge.

Sounds awesome. Nice ram

We should send him after osama bin laden.

I am not trying to pressure anyone to give any info they don't want to. I started a week ago on this site with no coues knowledge, and now my knowledge has increased 10 times. Thanks to you guys.

Would anybody recomend Duane Adams book, or any other book for coues? Thanks again Gabe My wifes first bull from last year. Over the counter, 520yds with a 300mag

Anybody do any good rattling. How loud and for how long? Do you throw in some grunts and doe bleats? Has anyone ever weghed a boned out buck, incase I would stumble into one in a roadless area? That way every step of the pack out I can say It is only 40lbs, only 40lbs. Ha HA I very grate full for all of the advice, if I can return the favor let me know. I am trying to pay you of with pictures. Gabe Ps here is a picture of me about 8 miles back in a lion den calling bulls for my friend last year.

Is there good hunting in wilderness areas for a coues pack in hunt. Is there better quality of bucks in wilderness? Would anyone recomend any particuler wilderness area? I love to pack in areas for big bucks and bulls in Colorado. Thanks Gabe

If you reload a 22-250 is awsome, the only problem with them is the barrel jumps just enough to not see the p-dog flip through the air. 223 are also fun with no barrel jump and cheaper ammo. Honestly at 200yards I have shot a lot of p -dogs with a 17rem. Hope this helped Gabe
