GingerRam Report post Posted January 7, 2013 Hey all - Been in 37B a good amount this year as I had a late Nov deer tag and am now on to archery. I haven't seen much in the way of pigs this year, anyone else in the same boat? I'm usually in the Freeman Ranch road/96 Hills area but????? Kinda freaking here as I have a late Feb tag and it will be my 7y.o daughters first hunt. Any thoughts? (no honey holes) but any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks - Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viper Report post Posted January 8, 2013 It seems to be the case near Oracle, Black Hills. They've been hard to find the last few years. The herds we do find are only 4 or 5 pigs. Hate to kill a quarter of the herd with one shot. Not sure what's going on...disease, predators, drought, over hunting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted January 8, 2013 I heard a disease wiped some herds out in the southern sections of the unit. Nothing official, just what I heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted January 9, 2013 It's been years since I hunted that unit, but we used to find a fair amount of pigs along the San Pedro and the adacent drainages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoteHunter Report post Posted January 9, 2013 I have been looking about 3 days a week for about 3 months north of gila river all the way to 60 (mostly around florence national guard area) and I still havent seen 1 yet. I must be doing something wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olmos1010 Report post Posted January 9, 2013 Get to a good vantage point, once the wind calms down and the sun starts hitting the western facing slopes, glass, glass and glass some more. You'll find em. Went to 3 different spots all in different parts of the unit and all 3 times I got in to pigs. Finally stuck one this past Sunday evening. Herd had about 13 pigs in it. Both the other times it was just 2 and 3. Good luck, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted January 10, 2013 I know three were pulled out of our little spot in 37B, hopefully another three or four will come out also! The wind was messing with them last weekend, they didn't follow the normal routine, and were found all over the place bedded, in the hills, in the flats, and in the thick stuff!

GingerRam Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Still looking. Saw a few off of Florence Kelvin on Sunday but really not a herd of any significance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Good luck with your hunt. Keep us posted. Hopefully you will be showing us pictures soon. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Not in your unit but I have found 3 sites in mine with hot sign and I have yet to spot the little guys. Lots of sign but they are not moving around much. Back at it again this weekend. Tuff to spot if they are not moving. Suggest finding hot sign then keep at that area with glass.

savagman Report post Posted January 16, 2013 Can't seem to run my dogs anywhere off the box canyon road or by the florence military reservation without pig problems. Down in the rolling hills so no good vantage points for glassing. Bunch of caves and mines so maybe they like all the places to hole up? Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
