kybuckboyjr Report post Posted September 21, 2008 A BIG at a BOY or Girl to all those that have had success this season. I myself missed a decent 2 x 3 opening morning but killed that 3 inch pine sapling dead center behind him. Well anyway, I have taken a couple of trips out to Roger's Trough, Reavis Ranch, and Frog Tanks trailheads for some R&R hiking and visit the Indian Ruins. While on these hikes I've taken my bino's to glass the hills and have spotted a couple of deer here and there but no bucks. My questions would be: Is this area heavily saturated with hunters since it is so close to the se valley? Is this area saturated with hikers that time of the year that would spoil a hunt. Have any of you had any success or know of anyone that has had any recent success hunting this area? Has anyone ever done a backpacking hunt in them there hills? I am not looking for any honey holes or specific locations to hunt. . I am just wondering if it is worth my time to investigate further. I will take a guess that the deer density is really low however. Happy Hunting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted September 21, 2008 Lots of trafic around the area. If you want to do it give it a shot. The only thing that will come of it is a good trip and maybe a deer. I do know when i am up in the area around december there are lots of back pack hunters and camps set up on the north side. lots of road drivers from anyone in the valley with a quad to every trail driving group in the valley, But that should not thurt you if you are off the road. I have been pesterd by a fare share of greenies that hike the area as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
