cableguy936 Report post Posted October 21, 2012 I'm taking my 12 year old son on his first hunt. I tried to get him a juniors only hut for GMU 22, but he didnt get it. I picked up a left over tag for him in unit 36 A but i'm not familiar with that area. Does anyone have suggestions for areas in that unit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckysob Report post Posted October 21, 2012 What hunt did your son get ? We have the junior deer camp in November if you want to come down and camp with the Arizona chapter of SCI. We provide a safe place to camp and we have guides for at least a half day of hunting or glassing with you. Let me know !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jcubed Report post Posted October 22, 2012 Dave, Good to see you on the site! I talked to a couple buddies down in that area and they know 36b better. If I get a chance when I head out and scout 36C I will drop into 36A and see if I can't find something interesting for you. For everyone else, Dave is a great guy trying to get his sons interested in hunting. I had the pleasure of helping his other son out on a junior deer hunt with another board member. It was a great time. He's not looking for "honey holes" but rather just a place to try and get his son seeing deer on his first hunt. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted October 22, 2012 go to the SCI youth camp down there! They will help you out and you can camp and eat with them. Great camp! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cableguy936 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks John, I think I will head out Friday and try and scout around a little bit this weekend. I was going to try the sierritas first and then some of the mountains off of Arravaca Rd. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I'm also trying to look for a group camp in that area as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jcubed Report post Posted October 22, 2012 Like Amanda said, the SCI youth camp will have people who know the area, place to camp with a group, etc. I'll be at the Women's Coues camp right across the road from 36A in 36C the first weekend of the hunt. For help and not having spent much time at all in the unit...I would do what we did on Joe's hunt. Get up high early and glass. The whitetail bucks seem to like ocotillo down south, so if you find areas with lots of that glass it. You will see deer all day, so don't get discouraged with the glassing. Look for parts of deer (legs, tail, ear moving, etc.) and glass slowly. Sometimes midday is one of the best times because the deer get up, stretch, and change positions due to the changing shadows. One thing I would suggest for your scouting is to find a couple different locations to glass in areas that look good to you. With a couple different locations already mapped out, you have options if another hunter is in one of "your spots." Let me know if you I can help you out.
