bigorange Report post Posted August 23, 2012 Has anyone been up in 27 lately? Much water? See any turkey or deer? Was in 27 this weekend. Lots of rain, but a lot of the tanks seemed low. Saw 5 or 6 bucks and at least 10 turkeys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airbusdriver Report post Posted August 24, 2012 I just scouted 23 today along the creek beds, which now have pools of water. Dare I say that there were LOTS of muleys coming down for a drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkhunter1 Report post Posted August 24, 2012 I put up my blind for the big two today, checked my cams and all three are blank for bucks of any size. I started plan B this afternoon as I bedded a third big buck as the sun went down. GOOD LUCK TO ALL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted August 24, 2012 A good guy I met through this forum has a strip (13B) archery hunt starting tomorrow. According to the statistics I got from one of the better-known guides up there, the unit has over 1.5 Million acres and less than 3,500 deer. With abundant water, the deer are going to be dispersed throughout the unit. Traditionally, a bow hunter up there with some time can sit the right tank and eventually have a monster buck come in. This year, he's going to have to rely on spot-and-stalk, and the rut is a long way off. That really complicates things for sure. I sure hope Ryan (aka KiababHunter) can connect. That said, the white mountains have really been blessed with amazing rainfall this year. The monsoons started a little late, but they have sure been great. Lots of rainfall, the forest is healthy, the bulls are already going nuts. Good year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
