crazypepper Report post Posted October 27, 2005 A friend of mine was lucky enough to get drawn this year. Unfortunately it was for Mule Deer! He asked me for a little advice, knowing that I've hunted in Unit 31 numerous times, however it's always been a hunt for the elusive Coues. He's been scouting a few times around the O bar O without alot of luck. I thought perhaps, since he's not looking to stealing any of our favorite Coues hunting spots, that some might be kind enough to give me a few directions to point him toward. Thanks!

azdave Report post Posted October 28, 2005 Since you're not asking Coues secrets in 31, OK ----Battle Mtn/FS road 672 area is very good for Mulies, its NW of Ft. Grant. Mostly state land, but a few chunks of private. The Van Valor, President and KH Canyon areas off the same road are all good. From I-10 to 266, west of 191, is all good area to check out, as is the Monk Draw/Dial Wash area. From Gillespie Wash east to 191 on 266 (Stockton Pass) use to hold alot of Mulies--right at the Gillespie area is a transition, or crossover area that you may find Mulies and Coues. I'm sure there are alot of good areas to the north in the unit, but I never hunted there. I'm strictly a Coues hunter, so your mileage may vary--but these are areas that I have seen NICE Mulies in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazypepper Report post Posted October 29, 2005 Thanks azdave! He's out scouting this weekend and I told him of your recommendations. Hopefully he'll come back with a better idea of where he needs to be on opening day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
