DCMHunter Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Where would be a good place to start in Unit 23 to find some pigs? It has been several years since I have hunted this unit and would like some information on Where to start out. I have been into the Young area and like the area but did not see anything. What is the north side of Roosevelt lake like? Or along Tonto creek? Are there any access issues? My HAM hunt starts on the 6th and I'm starting to get worried that I don't have a good plan. I will only have one more chance to find a starting point then I will be hunting, so any help would be appreciated. DCM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZbowhntr Report post Posted January 24, 2015 I am going up tomorrow morning to help on a Jr hunt so I will be glad to pass along anything that we see. From what I have heard the Cherry Creek Rd gets hammered pretty good. There are few herds around Young but I imagine they get some action also. If all else fails hunt the Young dump. Bet you will find some there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCM go down the a+cross rd.....................more desert type area (palo verde and such) but lots of pigs from 1 end to the other. quite of bit of land between the rd and the lake depending on where you go. some spots off the 288 arounf the cherry creek rd as well.

DCMHunter Report post Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks for the help everyone. I will check out some of the areas mentioned. I did spot some pigs flying back from the valey the other day south east of Young. I think we where pretty close to the resevation. I like the area north of pumpkin center but flying over it looks like it is limited access. I will try to do some more scouting this Saturday, but back on duty Sunday. I hope we dont fly I want to watch the game. DCM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
