Unit 24A

[bt2d]

I was lucking enough to get drawn for javelina in unit 24A next spring and plan to hunt the unit for non-permit deer. I've pre-scouted twice in the last few weeks, but with little to show for it besides driving the highways. It didn't take long for me to realize that my two wheel drive truck won't work in the southern part of the unit (haven't tried the northern part yet).

 

So, any suggestions were I can go in the unit in a two wheel drive vehicle and still compete against the four wheelers.

 

Thanks

You should be able to kill a pig on foot by hunting off the Highway that goes from Globe to Winkelman. In general hogs like creeks and rivers. You won't have to deal with any quad guys down there either.

Bret's right. There's pigs in there, either along the Gila or in the washes. While catfishing once along there in highschool we actually saw a nice 3 point muley jump into the river and swim across.

 

Also don't be shy about checking out the Dripping Springs road that comes off that highway. Shouldn't be a problem with your 2WD, and there are lots of good spots in there.

 

Good luck!

I remember long ago in the 2wd days. Just haul shovels and jacks and you can get most places. 24A has alot of 2wd access. Good luck.
