WHALE Report post Posted August 6, 2018 I had 3BN twice (2000 and 2006 I went 1 for 2). I would take the tag again. Seen a full size buck next to the armory all summer. There are a few good places to hunt without the chance of running into a meth lab. Coyotes have done a number on it. I would hunt areas that you can't drive to and stillhunt the cedars, that would eliminate most of your competitors and I would also check the north end of the unit by snowflake. thanks for the info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
couesmagnet Report post Posted August 6, 2018 There's some huge bucks in 3 b north. Found one a friend killed that went 85. It's been several years but you have to get in nice a close to the meth heads in that unit. Bulls also like the meth heads hang outs. Makes things interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted August 6, 2018 I think 5A would be tough with a bow. Some great bucks but very little contour or cover in a lot of it. Seems like a hard place to get in archery range. 3B North at least has stalkable areas where the goats hang out, just don't get too close to any "abandoned" trailers out there - they probably aren't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHALE Report post Posted September 1, 2018 Hunts over for me. Put on a lot of miles and a lot of hours behind the glass. Made a stalk everyday I hunted and twice on a couple days. Decoyed one group in only to miss a good buck due to grass and trouble with correct yardage from finder. Spot and stalk was way more productive. There was water all over the unit and a LOT of coyotes. The few people I talked with were friendly. Got some good info from guys on CWT. Harvested a 66" buck yesterday with a 55 yard shot after he bedding down. I learned getting to within a 150 yards is fairly easy and pretty tough getting within a 100 yards. These things would bed for up to an hour and then pop up again. I was solo and didn't get great pics but will post up later. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwoody Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Trying to shoot a speed goat with a bow is like trying to shoot a dove out of the air with a bb gun. Just saying 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
