I just had to chase about 10 of them off the front porch. They were digging in my wife's flower pots and driving the dogs crazy. Those resident pigs have it made.

30B seems land locked just looking for some good areas.

I shot one down there in 2006 when they had the javelina hunt the same time as deer season. Take Middlemarch road in from the Tombstone side. Then take a left on the forest road that runs along the western side of the Dragoons. Hunt the flats and rolling hills along the washes and you should find some. I don't remember the forest road number, but you can't miss it. Appreciate the info I will check it out.....thx

30B seems land locked just looking for some good areas. Not looking for anybody's sweet spot just general area. Daughter and I going hunting also visiting tombstone getting pig would be a plus. Thanks

It took a few days but finally bagged one, a little warm but not bad, seen one snake.

Thanks guys

A lot of hunters, border patrol and quad tours...enjoyed the hunt, got a forky on fifth day. Waiting for next year.

Its been awhile since I've been down south to hunt Deer just checking if 35B is still fairly safe to hunt. November hunt..any suggestion of where to pitch a tent for a few days....I will be hunting in Harshaw Canyon area a few few miles in going off of Patagonia...thx

AZ Chris Good info, I'm looking forward to the hunt I will have my 357 right next to me at night.

joeybari/Siwash Appreciate the info...thanks

Hello, I drew 35b middle whitetail hunt I bagged one three years ago in that area is there any significant changes from three ago, pertaining to hunting? I do plan to scout at least once down there. thx

Did you get drawn this year?

Pollohombre, I pm'd you with a phone number...thx..

Scouted 35B didn't see any illegals or deer saw alot of elderly tourist, kids on quads, and some archery hunters off the main road about 2.5 miles. Its really green down there and water everywhere. Its not going to be an easy hunt, saw alot tracks, last time I hunted it took six days before I got an opportunity to shoot. Oh well its better than not hunting at all...later

Snapshot, Thanks for the info I'll check it out.

hunter07, very mature suggestion, for a youngster...thx...

My dog Toego known for keeping cats away amoung other things.

My question is why my deer meat would taste gamie, I will give you the steps that were under my control. I have harvested a few coues deer in the past ten years mostly down south but for some reason after cooking this years deer meat it has a real gamie taste. Seriously, If anybody has any advice so this won't happen again pls advise, but it just might be, "it is what it is", maybe...thx.. Killed deer in 24A bottom of canyon Nov.11th. One shot, field dressed immediately and quartered deer. Put meat in game bag. It took a good three plus hours to get meat to truck. Washed off meat with water hose (first time I ever used water hose to clean off meat). Put meat back in game bag and hung over night (padded meat somewhat dry). Got back to Phoenix Nov 12, wrapped meat in freezer paper and stored meat in freezer. Took meat to meat processor 2/07. Game meat taste real gamie for some reason and the taste stays with you for a while. Thanks and meat will not go to waste.

Just thought I would share this, I was looking to see if there was any Popular Surplus stores still here in phoenix or on-line I really liked there cloth type game bags and I ran into this article about game meat. "Once home, I always use a mixture of warm water and vinegar to wipe down my meat. It cleans and sterilizes all at the same time. Trust me, it doesn’t leave your meat tasting like vinegar" Reference; http://www.caryongamebags.com/newsletter1.htm

Opening day in Unit 21

The rifle is a Remington 30-06 SPRG GameMaster Model 760 Pump Action..bought it used at Weapons Works on 19th ave and Glendale ave. it's nice and light.. but my favorite is still my Pre-64 bolt action .270...I really like the trigger feel. thx

Thanks for all the responses. If I had to do it all over again I would probably not use a water hose to clean off meat. I did take deer meat to a meat cutting school where they are being trained under the guidance of a real meat cutter. (it was packaged very nicely 39 cents a pound). "I know you get what you pay for". I'm slowly getting around to maybe meat cutting my own game, I ordered a DVD from Colorado Game and Fish about de-boning and meat cutting. Any information or resources on game processing please pass it on. I did not take the backstraps to the meat cutter so it will be interesting to see if there is a taste difference. Coosefan-- One shot and the deer ran about thirty yards and fell. Again thanks for responding.

Cool photo, if my eyes are correct and they are both whitetails, there coats have a different shade of color.

Great looking buck!
