Siwash Report post Posted October 21, 2010 You will be fine, there are always several camps in that area. It seems like the majority of the smuggler traffic is on the west side of the mountains. Border Patrol has really stepped up their presence in that area in the last year too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ_Chris Report post Posted October 25, 2010 I didn't hunt there this weekend but I did stay overnight with a friend and did some scouting. Found quite a few burlap bundle sacks on our hike on Saturday but they were atleast a year old and were bleached/decaying. As expected for that area lots of PA's driving around and one even dropped into our camp around 0100. He was just checking on us because the spot we picked is a known staging area for dope loads (which is why we camped there, I like excitement ). According to him the last load that went out was about 2 weeks ago. Smugglers don't like any unwanted attention and they know when its hunting season so I think its relatively safe down there and the PA concurred so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Be on the watch tho like the the Agent said "keep your pistols cocked" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
