cottonwoodcoues Report post Posted November 6, 2008 I bought a left over tag for 30B, went in there last weekend and hiked and drove until my dog couldnt walk or sit in the truck anymore and only saw three deer turds and about the same amount of track. The only thing I need for the hunt this weekend is the assurance that someone on this website has actually seen a buck over the last 2-3 years somewhere in the Dragoons.

Simple Hunter Report post Posted November 6, 2008 Legend has it that the spirit of Cochise still hunts those sacred mountains and only allows those hunters who have done their homework to actually see a nice buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your comments and coordinates are appreciated. You got a left over tag and choose 30B, dont mean to sound like a jerk but I would have gone for one of the 36 units. I know there were left over tags in those units. Not sure on some of the other good units, but good luck. At leased you are out with a tag in your pocket.

CouesKilla Report post Posted November 6, 2008 The deer herds in the Dragoons have declined drastically over the last 10 years. I've heard the lions have had a lot to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mje1 Report post Posted November 7, 2008 I killed a 114 in 2007 and a 108 this year in 30b. Get on the mountain way before light , glass alot and be patient they will show up. If you see 12 deer a day thats a good day in the dragoons. The Mules have alot more deer but you need to know youre way around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
