BMart Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Drew my first goat tag this year. Pretty excited to get out and do some scouting. How is access in 3B North? Most of the unit looks to be private but is it posted? I wanted to start scouting the area outside of Concho around Mesa Redonda and Critchlow Flat. Can I get into these areas without permission or do I need to start looking for land owner contacts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evan Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Get ahold of the game warden up in that unit. They usually have names and numbers of contacts that will let you hunt on their land. 3b's wardens will be out of the office in Showlow. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomgobbler Report post Posted April 9, 2013 it is really checkerboarded, so everyother 40 acres is private, and everyother is not.... so its not like one big land owner that has the hole place locked up, you can go about were you want too, just have to watch when you hiking, you may run into fences and have to skirt 40 acre pieces.... so lots of fences will say no trespassing, but it is just THAt 40 acres.... really hard to keep track of, but the roads are NOt locked or anything for the most part... good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMart Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Good info. I used habi-map and access Arizona and saw the checker board. Just didn't know if there would be locked gates all over. I hunt some places close to home that look like this on a map but none of its posted unless there are houses. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomgobbler Report post Posted April 10, 2013 most of the locked stuff is just the driveways going into the 40 acre pieces, not the roads... and yes there are houses scattered from heck to breakfast out there,.... kind a pain to hunt like that , but it is what it is.... but any main rd will not me locked, as there are to many that travel it to get back to a house/shack some place.... so you shouldnt have to much trouble with locked gates.... and there really isnt any "landower " to call to get access... not any one preson ownes very much, just be carefull of some of the folks out there....

rcdinaz Report post Posted July 31, 2013 Plenty of places to camp but also be aware there are antelope moving around all the water spots you mentioned as well. Camp at Scott's and then drive and hike the other areas so you don't acciepdently run them off in an are you could hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would not camp around Pintail Lake unless your into that Brokeback Mountain style of romance. Saw an older gentleman and a native entrenched in a passionate embrace and I will not mention what my brothers saw when they were cutting wood in the area.
