AZoutdoorsman Report post Posted November 17, 2005 On opening day, I took a spot on a hill and stumbled on two other Hunters. So I left that hill to find another one. Upon scoping the ridges and other locations, I saw so many Hunters that I had to settled for a spot near one of the Hunters on a small mountain. It was a hot day and nothing was moving and to make it worse, the moon was bright the night before and through out the hunting days. I glassed all day only to see two large does. Thoughout the day I only heard 3 shots. This repeated it self the next day. Then on my last day it was even worse. Hunters got bored and started to target practice. Friends of mine in the hunting camp who have always shot at least one deer in 34A was given a goose egg. The Game Warden said she only knew of two Hunters that have tagged a buck. Seems like Helvetia bucks have been hunted out. I talked to a couple of experience glassers and they had a hard time finding bucks. Looks like I need to move on to another hunting ground for this last weekend hunt. I am afraid that every where I hunt in Unit 34A will be crowed because of the 1000 tags given out. This is my first hunt and it's not going very well due from too many Hunters, low population of bucks, too hot and bright moon. Anyone having the same problem in Box Canyon, Saw Mill or any other 34A locations or is it just my luck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
