In december I have seen some real nice coues deer in the flats and in the rolling hills, hope for cold weather and an early start to th rut and youll do just fine. Use precaution like you would any where else, for the most part the border patrol are the ones that give hunters problems, this year while scouting in Aug, the helio came up out off the bottom of a canyon and circled us for a min or two, but you will see more agents than you will border crossers.
