metau Report post Posted January 14, 2016 Headed down that way this weekend to try my luck again for pigs. I've done some day hunts for quail south of Tucson several years ago, but never set up camp, nor ever been in any of the 36 units. Anyways, what I'm curious about is where would be a safe place to camp? I know Amanda runs the women's camp down there, so I've already sent her an email, but if anyone else has some pointers for camping down there, I should would appreciate it. Thanks.

desertmafia21 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 Elk horn ranch road in 36c is a safe bet. Always lots of camps off that road 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big or Bust Report post Posted January 16, 2016 Every east facing slope in 36c has pigs on it basically....we fill 3 tags opening day almost every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metau Report post Posted January 16, 2016 Thanks all. I ended up camping off the elk horn ranch road. No issues with the spot other than the BP loves driving fast down it in the middle of the night, and its a very dusty area. Did not see any pigs yesterday, but did glass up 50+ deer. Did manage to glass a herd of pigs out in the flats this morning, but never could locate them once I got down there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturebob Report post Posted January 16, 2016 If you get where they were and can't find em try calling them in from there. predator call...............BOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metau Report post Posted January 17, 2016 I thought about that, but the only predator call I brought with me was my foxpro. It's been so long since I hunted Javi's that I completely forgot to bring a mouth call. Hunted down in 36B this evening and saw a single pig a long ways away right at dusk, too far and too dark to do anything tonight about. Not sure if I want to head back that way in the morning or give 36C another day. Either way, this some beautiful country down here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 I don't know how you are hunting, but keep in mind pigs don't usually get up with the crack of dawn. They are usually up and out a little later then deer are. Usually, not always though. In other words, look for them to be up and feeding when deer would usually be bedded.

metau Report post Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah, I'm glassing for deer at day break, but looking for Javi's a bit later. Everything in 36C lights up quick once the sun is up. The herd I saw this morning was maybe 20 minutes after the sun came up. I was actually looking for some mule deer out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
