NYAZHunter Report post Posted October 26, 2011 OK , I got it figured out . Got the deer on Saturday and our camp visitors came through while packing up yesterday morning. Only saw one other buck , a small fork . The total count for what we saw was : Illegals - 26 Deer - 21 Lion - 1 Coyotes - 2 Javelina - got tired of counting.

nogalesjim Report post Posted October 26, 2011 Nice buck. There seems to be some confusion about the alleged illegals though. That appears to be our local nature conservancy group that generally goes hiking out there every Tuesday. Yaaaah, that's the ticket; conservancy group!

NYAZHunter Report post Posted October 26, 2011 NogalesJim, interesting you mentioned the group because Monday morning as I was heading back to camp two very elderly gentlemen were walking the forest service road , so I stopped and chatted them up and and they had names tags and the initials GVHC ( Green Valley Hiking Club) on them. They were scouting the road to bring a group of hikers in next week. I kindly let them know it was hunting season. Nice buck. There seems to be some confusion about the alleged illegals though.

NYAZHunter Report post Posted October 26, 2011 Yes sir, on the way out we let BP know what we knew. Kinda funny , until yesterday morning we had BP come thru us 4 or 5 times a day and two nights before they picked up one about a hundred yards from us , we watched them handcuff and put him in the dog cage on the back of the pick up. Please tell me you reported the group... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please tell me you reported the group... I have been very happy with what I have seen from the BP down there the last 5 years. They have responded to 5 different reports of drug mules we called in and gave gps locations for. It is cool to see a bird fly in minutes after calling the number and circling them up. 3 times groups of 3 and 4 agents in full on night tact gear set out from our camps and twice returned with their prey. I have seen a big difference since our first year to last year on the numbers we have seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowman Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Now that's.... funny and how many B.P. vehicles did you see? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Week'nd WaRRior Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Not funny at all. They did'nt run from you. Seems like the way they're moving maybe they had seen other hunters in your area. Locked and loaded is how I would've been. I'm American/Mexican and I would of let them have it in Spanish! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BirdDog20 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Were you camped in the flats (and ATV up)? We usually camp at the end of jeep trails higher up. Even so, we saw a group move through our canyon. Took them 20-30 minutes to get through what I had considered a dead end canyon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitchel Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Hey nice buck. Your story about the hiking group reminds of a time when I was scouting this year in 36b. We were glassing and relaxing when all of sudden this big helicopter comes flying in to save these lost hikers wandering around. By the time the rescue was over there was 5 bp limos, 1 helicopter dust and lots of noise out in the great outdoors. What other unit can you get all this kind of adventure. Deer, lions, javelina and your adventure movie. But, back to the important stuff, congrats on the nice deer. Looks like you had fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CalebFortner Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Wow. Sounds like an exciting time. We saw a ton of illegal sign, but didn't spot any. Looks like you spotted a few mature ones. Nice shot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
