The deer and pig hunt was fun, but I had lots of problems with smugglers and illegals. Three hunts in total were effected by groups migrating north for work or to drop drugs. This is a really big problem and the public and private lands are a reck as a result. Best bucks were seen in 34B but the density seemed very low. I spent several days in 36B as planed and saw tons of deer but the quality seemed to be low. I guess it is a trade off, deer density or deer size. Can't have both I guess. My best spot was closer to the road than I had hoped. No need to backpack in, seems as though there were deer almost every place we went, and the deeper we went the more mexicans we saw . I Never did find the trophy I was looking for, but if it were easy it wouldn't be called hunting!

I will be hunting next week. I feel pretty good about finding the deer, but as of yet have no plans for my pig hunt. I have been shooting darn well and am in good shape for my hunt. I can't wait.. its coming soon! I will keep every one updated upon my return.

thanks treestandman. I am not really looking for any specific family honey hole, just some guidance to get me going. Perhaps some description on elevations or general areas. I can figure out the rest.

Last year I hunted in 34b and found out how big the country could be. I did get a buck on the last day of my hunt, but this year I would like to try an area where I can get away from the roads for a few days at a time and have a chance at a real trophy. I would also like to find a Javelina if I can. If any one has some info on the remote backpack hunts in unit 36b please let me know at theath74@yahoo.com.

I need help! I know how vast this country can be and I need some information on a place to start. I want to go on a few two to three day backpack trips in 36b for deer and possibly a chance at a javelina. My hunt is January 12th. Please email with any info. theath74@yahoo.com
