molukin Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Hi guys, I am new to the forum, but I must say that you are all a great source of info and help. I have been browsing around here for a couple of nights and find you all to be most helpful. My brother lives in AZ and sent me a 30A (nov 28th) tag out of the blue, apparently it was an under subscribed unit... In reading the AZFG website and other information I am a little concerned about access, is this a problem? Any other info you can share about the unit without giving away your personal secret places? Seems the deer population might be a little spread out in this unit. I spend the majority of my time in Utah and Colorado working, so unfortunatley my scouting will be done every night on the computer and phone until I get on the hill with my binos Once again, thanks so much for all your information, this group really represents what is good about hunting and hunters.

Red Rabbit Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Do a search for "cabezas" and that will get you to some past 30A threads. Limited access is a problem, as you noted from the AZGFD website. My first Coues came from Skeleton Canyon 20 years ago, but access is no longer. Good luck on your hunt. Hopefully someone with current info will PM you.

ibowhuntaz Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Can I ask you what you mean by "sent you a tag"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
molukin Report post Posted November 14, 2008 We have hunted AZ together before, he had my personal info, so he bought a leftover tag for each of us. I guess technically, AZFG sent the tag to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

molukin Report post Posted November 15, 2008 ok, maybe I should have said "my brother facilitated us getting tags from the Arizona Game and Fish...", at any rate I do appreciate the efforts of guys like you all that make it even possible for all of us to understand different species and techniques better. I have hunted Utah, Colorado, Idaho, California, Wyoming, and many times in Texas if anyone needs to be pointed in the right direction. I may not know much, but I know many who do. Thanks again guys.

curmudgen Report post Posted November 15, 2008 Good luck with finding a way in. I have a buddy who has hunted 30a for years who reported to me recently that he could only find one access point this year in the whole Dos Cabezas range. That's why they have leftover permits. I heard of some guys a few years ago who hired a local cropduster to put them in by helicopter and had a good hunt. Jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

molukin Report post Posted November 15, 2008 ok, so if access were NOT a problem, which of the mtn ranges would you hunt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curmudgen Report post Posted November 18, 2008 Curmudgen, You wouldn't happen to know who the crop duster was would you? I'm sorry, but that was 8-10 years ago and I don't have a clue who it was or how to find out. My recollection is that it was someone in the Willcox area, but things have changed a lot since then.

Simple Hunter Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Watch out for the Klumps - they claim to own property that has been disputed in the past and have even confronted the BLM. Other hunters have had bad experiences with them also. Seem like good ol boys but they don't trust anyone anymore - See this article http://www.bensonnews-sun.com/articles/200.../news/news4.txt http://www.bensonnews-sun.com/articles/2004/05/26/news/news4.txt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
