deserthunter23 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Hope everyones New Year Was great and some january bucks were taken.That being said,I just saw on the San carlos web site that tags will go on sale on Feb 1st for 2013-14,was a little confused because the list of hunts still had the old yr (2012) listed.Was just wondering if anyone has stood in line for the first day in recent yrs.I havent bought a tag in a few yrs mostly due to financials like alot of people,last time I bought a coues tag did it during the first week and was no line.Do they let you form a line the first day, and if so ,4 am get you anywhere close to the front .Just curious God Bless, good luck to all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lefty Report post Posted January 15, 2013 get there early and be prepared for a fiasco ! also notice the little red box on the right on the san carlos website that says a new 4 percent sales tax, so now that $2,000 coues tag is more like $2,100 after the tax and other small fees. good luck ! i wish i could get another one-maybe someday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaibabkiller Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Fiasco is right, get there early and dont take cash. Credit card or $ order only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HOSS.... Report post Posted January 15, 2013 A guide with a non-member wanting a tag will be first regardless if your first in line...they usually charge anywhere from 200-400 to stand in line for you....last year the line started 5 days before the tag sale.... if your wanting a November hunt... it shouldnt be a big deal.... just the rut tags go fast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted January 15, 2013 I have wanted to hunt on the res for several years, but I've been hesitant, because of the various rumors I have herd. How expensive are the November Hunts? Are they worth having? What type of Buck is expected on a November Hunt? If you wanted a November Hunt would you still need to be there on opening day or would sometime that week be o.k. Thanks for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HOSS.... Report post Posted January 15, 2013 November is a descent hunt.... Ive guided that hunt alot.... You can expect to see alot of 90ish class bucks and the ocassional 100-110 class coues.... if its a dry year... water plays an important role.... if its more than normal moisture year.... deer will be scattered and most likely up high.... I reccommend being in really good shape.... Its alot tougher than the rut hunt... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HOSS.... Report post Posted January 15, 2013 1,200 is the price of the hunt and its a 9 day hunt in the 2nd week of November.... Some Units are better than others during this time.... It would be good to at least put in 4-7 days hunt to find a 100in class buck..not much pressure with only 15 tags available per unit... there is 4 units Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rabidApache Report post Posted January 16, 2013 Hey hoss.......I think in November the deer are still denned up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawkeye Report post Posted January 16, 2013 I've hunted there a few times. The last time I stood in line for 5 hours and left without a tag. I will never go through that crpp again. I won't jump through their hoops again, but there are plenty of people who will. It's a very good hunt, but for the money and hasle to get the tag I started hunting other states and have had a heck of a lot more fun. I would probably hunt there again if they went to a draw or something, but I will not stand in line all night just to watch the reservation guides come in just before you and buy up all of the tags.
