wish2hunt Report post Posted July 26, 2016 Understood, but can you give me an idea on what canyon I should focus on?The deepest and thickest will be a good starting point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bojangles Report post Posted July 26, 2016 you may consider hiring a guide. if this is going to be your first hunt, and your daughter is involved, and you want this to be a memorable experience for the both of you, it could be money well spent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree here. I know it is expensive, but I have hunted 22. Very tough. Lots of walking and if you do find your game, the hike out can be crushing. You need 4 guys to pack it out. I know the stuff south of 260. PM if you want to know more. Likely less hunting pressure, but the densities are lower too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazz Report post Posted July 27, 2016 That's an excellent point. Not only do you have to find them, you have to pack it out. I'd have a recovery team avail if you don't go with a guide.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Wouldn't south of 260 be 22s? Don't want to get anyone in trouble.. just saying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
border hunter Report post Posted July 27, 2016 ^^^ very true about packing out! I'm a young guy in great shape and I started working out 2 months ago. I have the December rifle hunt. We have 3 tags to fill if we all tag out I'm looking at 9-18 miles of packing out heavy not counting hunting and going in light for recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
