Kaffer62 Report post Posted March 3, 2015 I drew a January hunt on the San Carlos for Unit D. I am not one to E Scout, but considering this is my first time hunting the Rez, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I am looking for any information anyone can provide. Good or Bad. If you prefer, PM's are a great way to not advertise your information. I have an idea of where I want to start, but considering I am unable to scout until 3 days prior I am hoping someone can help ease the learning curve. Someone who had done this before.... Thank you for anything anyone can provide! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowman Report post Posted March 4, 2015 It was made clear to me at the San Carlos office last week that a "companion" pass would be available in "D" next year (although I have heard this before). It was also made clear that said companion must be present with hunter at all times. The companion can not be on the other side of the ridge or mountain but must be with hunter at all times and should not be glassing which was referred to as "illegal guiding." The companion pass is completely for hunter safety since you are only allowed in unit D with a big game tag. There is some beautiful and very remote country in D. Roads are rough but there is a lot of coues country. Good luck and be safe! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buckhunter Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Make sure you get a lion tag. Hunted years ago. Lots of lions in the area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coueswt Report post Posted November 27, 2022 Seems so odd they have a rule that you can have a hunting buddy along with you but they can’t glass. I understand the limiting of guys helping for sure but not allow the one person you can take to glass is crazy. So when guys are guided is the guided hunter allowed to glass?

Apache7mm Report post Posted November 27, 2022 To clarify, the Companion Pass allows the companion to glass as well as the other reasons, safety, etc. That's exactly why it was implemented. They cannot separate from the hunter while in the field and if they want/need they are allowed to wait at camp. Current regulation puts a limit at 2 per hunter but we changed it to up to 3 per hunter which will begin next August 1st. Companion permit holders are not allowed to possess any other permits (small game, Lion, predator, etc). Companion permits are available for all big game hunts in all units. Also for those who aren't aware the Department now offers SxS permits to Nonmembers for Unit D Coues Hunts. All permits are currently only available at the Department office in Peridot. Hours of operation are M-Sat 6am to 6pm, Sun 8am to 12pm. DAN 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueswt Report post Posted November 28, 2022 Thanks Dan for the needed clarification. That makes sense and probably a much better hunter experience overall with the limiting of helpers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
