    First Mule Deer hunt

    I will say this but once. 1. Do not Leave your Camp un-attended 2. Do not travel by yourself 3. Carry a pistol and rifle.. We have had some hairy situations down in that unit with drug runners and illegal immigrants. Be cautious, and good luck!

    Elk 5B South Arizona

    Thanks everyone for the input, was able to harvest my first Elk on Saturday morning... about 2 miles east of the 82 rd in the middle part of the unit. Was one heck of an experience, and can't wait for the next opportunity this November in 20b for Deer.

    Elk 5B South Arizona

    Hi all, My first Elk hunt ( cow) is next week, and am very excited. Done some pretty decent scouting and have picked out a few decent spots. What I was wondering is if anyone new just how crowded this unit gets during the october Cow hunt? 625 tags, and a fairly small unit in comparison to others in the state. Any other info on the unit is also appreciated.

    Elk 5B South Arizona

    IVe thought about camping on rd 82, or maybe the 211, I am guessing those get really crowded... Any idea when folks typically start coming in to set-up? The hunt is Friday, I was thinking of heading up Wednesday evening.

Would like to keep it under $500, and preferrably under $300 Nikon Prostaff Bushnell Elite Bushnell Trophy Red Head Epic Let me know if you guys have used any of these and also about any Tripods out there that are reasonably priced.

  17. Hello, Just looking for some general advice on this unit in terms of where to camp, and which roads I can use to access decent hunting areas. I hunted the Northen portion of this unit with no luck last week for Turkey. My guess is, and I could be wrong here, so please correct me if I am, that the CWT do not frequent the upper elevations ( 8000 ft +) in this unit. If anyone would be kind enough to pass on information on decent areas to scout in the next couple of weeks, I would be deeply appreciative. Would be willing to trade info on other units I have hunted as well, including 36A ( WT, MD), 30B( WT, MD) , and 35 ( Javelina). Thanks everyone.

    Precautions in southern units

    Um...Yes.... This unit borders Mexico.... The area from Nogales to the East is very hilly and mountaineous terrain.... I have seen Border patrol actually drive through the local golf course down there as we are golfing... looking for illegals. Be warry of the Santa Cruz River area, as well, as I myself have personally seen illegal traffic in that area.

    Precautions in southern units

    From a person who grew up in Tucson and has spent plenty of time hunting in units south of I-10.... 1. Don't scout/ hunt alone, always in pairs. 2. Do not approach a group of folks who you assume to be illegal immigrants 3. Call Border Patrol Immediately if you see a suspected group of illegals 4. Keep an eye out for game trails AND human trails (yes they are out there and yes they are very evident) 5. If confronted remember A. From a close border patrol frined of mine, Most illegals are NOT intent on doing you any harm, and are NOT running drugs, just folks looking for work B. He also says that its the 5% of them that will cause you trouble C. The 5% being those that are "mules" running packs of drugs D. Or the other half of the 5%, the Coyotes, the guys escorting the illegals, the guys with the guns 5. With regard to the Glock 10MM poster, remember to think with your head first, not with your Glock... 6. Either way use caution when in these areas and do not leave camp unattended or out of sight, the odds of your stuff being ransacked or robbed go up dramatically in this area... and by stuff, typically what is taken are food items or articles of clothing.....

    White Tail Unit 27

    With 350 permits vs. last years total which was less, how crowded to you think it will be out there?
  24. eldonkey

    White Tail Unit 27

    Fair enough... Fair enough.... I was kinda hoping the "locals" would maybe spend their nights in their local domiciles and leave the camping spots to us non-locals.... wishful thinking I suppose, and I don't blame them one bit, as it is beautiful country in that unit.... Only 275 permits or so for this hunt, so it shouldn't be all that bad... thats a big unit for such a small # of tags...
