mtngoat Report post Posted August 17, 2011 I'll be hunting on Ft. Huachuca as soon as bow season opens up. My plan is to see what the pressure is going to be like the first couple days so I will have an idea of what to expect. I'll be hunting a few mornings and evenings after work and pretty hard on the weekends, i live on post so the travel time to and from the locations will be minimal. There seems to be a lot of good country to hunt, and I've heard stories of some good mule deer on the west end. I'm pretty stoked because I've been stationed here for two years and this is the first real chance I'll have to hunt the area since I've been here. If the mule deer thing doesn't pan out, I'll chase whitetail. Has anyone here ever hunted mule deer on the fort, if so can you tell me what to expect?

billrquimby Report post Posted August 18, 2011 I haven't hunted on the fort, but during the 1970s and 1980s, friends and I took a few mule deer from the hills above the Research Ranch just outside the fort's west gate, as well as from the Baboquimari Ranch. There used to be a lot of deer in both of those places. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtngoat Report post Posted August 20, 2011 Hey there pine donkey, thanks for the tip. I headed out there today after work, didn't see any mulies but did see 4 coues. I was near the northeast boundary hunting some hills out there. Could have had a shot at one, but he was smaller then i was looking for on the first day. I'm gonna make my stand out in that area in the morning. Maybe see something worth posting a picture of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pine Donkey Report post Posted August 20, 2011 Anywhere you go on Fort now days, you are in Coues country. Much of the traditional muley range in this part of the state has been taken over by the crafty little coues. PM me with your phone number if you get a chance. Good luck, and watch for snakes!
