azhuntnut Report post Posted August 27, 2005 I friend a mine drew a 6a whitetail tag for the October hunt. He wants me to come along a help out. I have never hunted the south end of this unit before. Can anybody give a good area to start glassing for some deer. A couple roads we can drive into would be fine or even a mountain range and then I can start from there. He doesn't need a huge deer, just something worth shooting. I am not looking for a honey hole, just a starting point. Thanks, David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azhuntnut Report post Posted September 20, 2005 I need to find a place at the south end of 6a where I can get my 32ft fifth wheel in to set up a good camp. It would be nice if I could just pull in and not have to back in. Kind of like a half circle. I tow my quad behind the fifth wheel, so it make it kind of hard to back up. If you have any ideas, please let me know. If it is close to where I can start glassing that would be even better. Thanks for all of the help, David. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted September 21, 2005 We used to glass from the fire tower on Apache Maid Peak. Don't know if ordinary citizens still are allowed up there. It was amazing how many elk we could see mornings and evenings. It also showed us how far ahead of a truck an elk would move out. I remember a bull that was feeding in the middle of a wide-open area near a two-track road when it suddenly became alert, then ran off. It was at least three or four minutes before we spotted the vehicle heading toward where that elk had been. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
