kennyazman Report post Posted April 4, 2011 i finally drew an antelope tag!! first time ive been drawn so im really excited. i got the second achery hunt in 19a and i know very little about this unit. im planning on taking quite a few trips up there between now and my hunt since its not too far of a drive from wickenburg. I know that a lot of the unit is private property, so i could use some clarification. Do i need to get permission to hunt the fain ranch area? if so, how do i go about doing that? What kind of advice do you guys have for me? I know that there are lots of techniques for archery antelope and im willing to try anything from sitting tanks, to spot and stalk and probably all kinds of other crazy techniques. Any advice would be appreciated. I really want to be as prepared for this hunt as i can be because we all know how long it can be before i get another chance at an antelope. thanks.

BML Report post Posted April 4, 2011 Fain ranch is still all open to hunting, but it is a walk in only ranch. As of last year, Bob burris' ranch, which is off 89A between the Prescott Airport and Chino was also open, but walk in only as well. The Perkins ranch, north of Chino Valley, on Perkinsville road is open as well, but they will charge a trespass fee and only allow a limited number of hunters each year. I will PM you with some phone numbers. As of 2 years ago, the GFD sent out maps to all tagholders for 19A. They are great maps. I would call them and ask if they are going to send them. If not, request one. As far as I know, almost every singe hunter that paid for access to Perkins in the last few years has filled their tags. There are always lots of antelope and very little hunting pressure. If you have the dough, it's worth it. If you like the challenge of the spot and stalk hunting, there is plenty of huntable land still in 19A that hold great numbers of antelope. Congrats on the tag!

KAM Report post Posted July 2, 2011 I held out and never scored the last time I had the tag and this year makes it the 3rd year so we will see how this year turns out. My son had the tag a few years back and took a nice buck for his first one. Kent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
