PaddyMcGurk Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Well, here goes round 2. This is my second year deer hunting ever. Growing up in Chicago typically doesn't allow for much hunting. Anyway, hunted 35A last November (first week) with no luck. Hunted Canello Hills and Hunter Canyon. I didn't even see a buck the entire time. This year I have a Christmas hunt for Ft. Huachuca. Has anyone hunted the Fort in late December before? Just wondering if I should have better odds this time around. Anyway, Happy Hunting to all.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 28, 2010 You should have a great hunt. there are lots of whitetail on the Fort and Dec is an excellent time to hunt them since it is cooler out and the deer are approaching the rut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhunter Report post Posted July 28, 2010 I glass Ft huachuca often, some monsters in there, dec hunt is much easier on fort, if you work very hard you can get a buck easily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azrcks Report post Posted July 28, 2010 There is a certain state senator that is a retired Green Beret that has done well on that hunt (his kids too!) I will talk to him and see if he is willing to give up some info. He has the exact same tag as you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaddyMcGurk Report post Posted July 28, 2010 I'm not asking for a ton of info, just wondering if I'll have better luck this year. Sounds like I should. I know that the temperature will definitely be better. Poor monsoons last summer equaled a hot and dry November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
izquik72 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Good tag! sit up high and glass feeding area at first light light. Then glass shady sides mid-day. And all day long glance at the saddles. You will find them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tines Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Fun hunt! I killed two bucks off of the Fort with the December tag and always saw plenty of deer..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaddyMcGurk Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks for all the info, guys. This sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. Well, just being in the Great Outdoors is always a blast. I'm going to start scouting next week to see what I find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhunter Report post Posted July 29, 2010 during your scouting, check out the areas that has been burned, it's a deer magnet now and lots of bucks nipping the new growth plantations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
