firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Has anybody done this? I have a friend from out of state who would like to do this. I'm well versed in the unit but I've never thought about packing in. If anybody has done this please PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str8Shot Report post Posted January 28, 2016 There are a couple areas I would like to, but have not yet. I have not been down in the last couple years... Think next time find myself in the unit with a tag I will do at least a few nights out in the bush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azslim Report post Posted January 29, 2016 I'd talk with La Migra before doing it, at a minimum it would keep them from raiding your camp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

208muley Report post Posted January 29, 2016 Once you start backpacking for Coues deer you will never want to hunt any other way.... Or you will hate it...... Get your gear system down and know what you need to carry vs what you want to bring and it's awesome!!! Good luck.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeke-BE Report post Posted January 30, 2016 I hunt 36b for years. I usually my camp close to main roads and other campers. I've come across so many beddings up there and those guys with the 60 lb packs are usually staying up high and far away from roads. Then again I'm just a pansy!

azsugarbear Report post Posted February 5, 2016 Besides the deer, the only other company I have had way up in the mtns. is those guys with the heavy packs headed north. Always makes me nervous. I find that I am more concerned about my back trail than finding coues for the next couple of hours after stumbling across them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find that I am more concerned about my back trail than finding coues for the next couple of hours after stumbling across them. That would be my concern as well. I'd be freaked out after spotting them way back there that I couldn't focus on the hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
