kazpilot25 Report post Posted October 10, 2011 Well guys, after a terrible start to my weekend (2 flat tires Friday night while getting ready to leave), I finally made it out there early Saturday morning to check out some new areas and try to find a couple good spots. Heading out we took ruby road off the 19 and headed West into the unit. Checked out the Neuvo Corral area and saw a couple deer (1 fork, a couple doe, and a fawn). The country all around there is very thick and seems like it would be very well suited for archery. I didn't see too many spots in that area where you could get high and glass. Just a couple little hills that could work if need be. I talked with a couple border patrol agents while I was down there and they all said they see deer everywhere all day everyday down there. Also, the BP guys told me the spots to avoid due to high illegal traffic and drug trafficking. Those areas to avoid for those interested are as follows: South of Ruby Rd. between mile marker 5-7, South of Bear Valley Ranch Rd., and the drug traffickers always go from the border to Montaña Peak. All and all it was a good trip, I was hoping to see some more deer and check out a couple more areas, but such is life. I forgot to take pictures as I was too worried about covering as much ground as possible and checking different areas for good glassing points and proper terrain and vegetation. Still open to some pointers as I'm not sure yet where I'll be heading come opening morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter Report post Posted October 12, 2011 The grass is all grown back up and you'd hardly notice we had a huge fire to be honest. Don't look for deer first... find glassing spots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kazpilot25 Report post Posted October 12, 2011 Scooter, That's very true. Lots of grass all over down there. You can tell the fire burned up some of the oaks but otherwise looks like it never happened. Found a couple great glassing spots and some pointers from a guide down there as to some other spots to check out. Anybody know of the areas in the unit that become crowded come opening day?

WinMag Report post Posted October 12, 2011 Scooter, Anybody know of the areas in the unit that become crowded come opening day? North of the US/Mexico border, south of Arivica road between I-19 and Sasabee Highway. It's all busy come opening day. The hunt gets better around Monday eve or even better on Tuesday thru the end of the hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vegasjeep Report post Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks winmag, good to know the entire unit becomes a zoo, packed with hunters. Time to hike in a mile or 2. If you hike in a mile or two you probably passed 3 roads and 10 hunters who parked where you think your in the middle of no where Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nogalesjim Report post Posted October 14, 2011 Try scouting north of Ruby Rd in the Atacosa's. There are some monsters in there. As far as the fire is concerned, I bow hunted in that unit in August. You can't hardly tel that there was a fire at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you hike in a mile or two you probably passed 3 roads and 10 hunters who parked where you think your in the middle of no where X2 You really don't need to do a lot of hiking in this unit to find deer. Just find the right spot. Focus on that area and let the other hunters do the hiking for you. They are always bumping deer that you will see if you are sitting and glassing them up, then put your stalk on them and finish the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kazpilot25 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 13 Bucks, Wow, that's awesome. Good 'ole road hunters, they crack me up. I hope they don't come interfere with my couple spots I'm planning on trying out. Hopefully VegasJeep finds the trophy he's after. Great pics! Hopefully we start seeing some bucks coming out of 36B this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
