COOSEFAN Report post Posted August 1, 2012 Good luck!!!! The first thing that came to my mind was exactly what Yotebuster said! That can be the most frustrating hunt you've ever been on because of the lack of deer! There are some and there are some bigguns, but they are few and far between! You really have to have an intimate knowledge of the unit and where the deer are typically found to even have a decent chance at killing one! For somebody that doesn't have much prior knowledge of the unit, I would stay in the lower elevations and glass as much country as possible. If it's wet, I would walk the canyons in these same lower elevations until I found a track and run em' down! Best of luck! JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azstroops Report post Posted August 1, 2012 I have hunt 9 for deer and elk for years and like cousefan said there is a lack of deer but there is a good possibility of a bomber there. I have seen many 30+"ers in the unit but far and few between. Good luck, I will be up there with my father in law during that hunt, trying to do the same thing.
