Jessedr Report post Posted September 25, 2012 I lived in Camp Verde and have hunted 6A. I have hunted cedar flats but most of the deer I seen there were Muley's but did see five head of whitetail there. I seen more couse down by the river going the old road to Strawberry. Their in the area just harder to fined then the muley's.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhunter Report post Posted September 26, 2012 In that unit, hunt area you would go for late season bull elk after 3 ft of snow in the pines, those deep canyons are your best bet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flatline Report post Posted December 31, 2012 Thanks to all the had sent me private messages to help me out, Me and my son didn't get to fill the tags . Opening weekend was miserable with the weather Saw elk, muleys and coyotes. We had to leave opening weekend cause of all the snow and rain. Next weekend finally found some whitetail does and i believe a buck but not 100% sure. Then we glassed a buck about 500 yards out i wanted to get closer so we moved in and lost him,Last weekend of hunt sucked didn't even find a deer weather was getting bad this evening so i left. I believe 7 days of hunting and i seen only 2 whitetail bucks pretty disappointing for a trophy hunt as everyone calls it. Why do they call this a trophy hunt or rut hunt? I didn't see any rutting going on at all. Bucks where almost dormant. Plus i'm not that great of a hunter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted December 31, 2012 flatline don't get too discouraged, lack of knowledge of where to go and how to actually hunt them beloved little buggers takes time. That late hunt is awesome, wish I had the tag. I went out a time or two to glass with friends and we never had a tough time finding the deer in 6A but we also know how to hunt it and where to look. Between now and the next time you get a tag spend some good quality time behind some good binoculars and you'll eventually find them. Sorry this hunt didn't work out for you but it will eventually, just keep at it and keep us posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
