joeybari Report post Posted August 11, 2009 You got a tag for one of the best units for Coues deer You can’t go wrong with any mnt you glass in that unit Be aware of posted property and be respectful If you’re good at glassing and have good optics you will see allot of good size bucks I love that unit there are good places to camp One down fall is the illegal’s good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoughCut Report post Posted August 11, 2009 Every Square inch of that unit is a good spot. Smallest unit in the state, so pick a spot that looks good and I guarantee you will see whitetail. on the second day of my hunt last year I saw 103 different deer in the first hour of daylight before spotting the buck that I shot.

I agree stanly, it sounds to great to be true. I do however agree with Roughcut, and joeybari, this is a very good unit. and a lot of deer. However I will add some of the down falls. First the IA issues, it is a small unit so it can become crowded fast, lots of lions (this is not just a 36c issue). And that unit can kick you butt in a hurry. I have gone 2 for 2 in that unit. But I had to hunt HARD to do it. In short, a great unit (my favorite) but not a sure thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 Youre tellin me. Then, when we came to my house to clean up, he was in love with my 84" buck... He was pretty pissed at himself when I told him that the buck he passed on the day before was about 10 inches larger than that one.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoughCut Report post Posted August 12, 2009 Youre tellin me. Then, when we came to my house to clean up, he was in love with my 84" buck... He was pretty pissed at himself when I told him that the buck he passed on the day before was about 10 inches larger than that one.. I by no means was trying to say finding a buck in this unit was easy. My hunt was the late Dec. hunt, so I may have a skewed idea. When we saw all of those deer, I didn't mention that everyone of those 103 deer were all does yearlings and fawns. There might have been some small spikes in the mix. I should also say the day prior we only saw about a third of that many deer and we spent every waking hour of that day in the field, perched on the same knoll. Deserdog can vouch for me when I say this unit has some of the nastiest scrubiest tear your skin off-iest brush in the state, so bring your long-sleeves I think the crappy part about the quote above is that he was kicking himself for not taking the mid-nineties buck. I beleive he did the right thing at the time for passing on that buck. I would never want someone to take a buck they wouldn't be happy with. If he wasn't gonna be happy with that buck, then that's ok if he leaves him for the rest of us. He's probably pushing 100, if not more this year. That buck has Desertdog's name all over it. Right, DD?? Anyways live and learn, I bet next time I bet you he will be pumped to take that nice of a buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffcountry Report post Posted August 12, 2009 Dont know what you guys are talkin about . There are no deer in 36c . Anybody with that tag should just stay home . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertdog Report post Posted August 12, 2009 Deserdog can vouch for me when I say this unit has some of the nastiest scrubiest tear your skin off-iest brush in the state, so bring your long-sleeves You are correct RoughCut, cat-claw thats at leased a foot over your head. And a lot of times you don't have any choice but to make your way through it. When you get to the other side you are checking to make sure your clothes are still on...and that includes your boots Oh and don't forget about the ocotillos, prickly pear and cholla. I remember when rounding up cattle in the mountain pastures we would always wear chaps, Levi jacket, and a good hat in the middle of the summer. Nothing like chasing an ole cow and those big thick nasty ocotillo branches just beating on ya. That buck has Desertdog's name all over it. Right, DD??: Well I don't know don't where Casey was but if that buck is anywhere in my old stomping grounds he is mine........hopefully Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
