Any one have any luck in 23 with coues or muley? I am in N. Dakota the last 2 years working and did not make it down this year. First time in about 8 years I aint hunted it . Really miss it. Went to Montana in stead this year as it is close. Couple of My partners from Az . I hunt with did ok there in N. Mex., was just wanting to see some more photos. Thanks...... BOB!

I had a whitetail tag for unit 23 this last fall. Hunted where we know that the NM recrd was taken a few years back, with recent reports of other nice bucks in the area. Hunted all 5 days....never saw a whitetail at all. Drove up to a muly buck and his does, they kept feeding while we glassed them. Could have shot half of them....funny, they must have known which tag we had. :)

We hunted mule deer in November, Opening day it snowed and rained all day. So we hunted the lower part around Alma, upon clearing in the afternoon, we went back up the mountain past Pueblo park, Guess all the Hunters packed up and left. anyway We saw 2 bucks, one was a huge 28" wide 4 point, the other was a smaller 4 point.

As luck often happens, the Bigger one headed for higher country, so we ended up harvesting the smaller 4 point.

 

We ahve seen these two bucks together for the past 2 years, So I will be headed back down there, if I get drawn, and look for the beast!

Thanks for the responce Guys. My one buddy shot decent 3x3 Muley in the south part of the unit. 2 others shot some in the 80+ and a 90+ up north.Speaking of the town of Alma, that little restaruant with the store there had the best bisquits and gravy I ever had. That was about 6-7 years ago. Wonder if it has the same owners....BOB!

I went with my uncle on the ML muley hunt in 23. We saw quite a few coues and muley, and he ended up taking a nice buck.

Hunted unit 23 in 2007, archery elk. Hunted the Northern part of the unit. Only saw 2 whitetail does. Did see 2 nice Muley bucks, but I only had an elk tag.

Yes sir, the restaurant is still here. Same owners, same food and now open for dinner a couple nights a week since the Blue Front closed down in Glenwood. I don't have any pictures but I have seen coues deer all over this unit but I've never taken the time to pattern them. We're unit 27 junkies in AZ but have a place here in Alma. PM me if you guys are ever in the area and need anything. Good luck!
