firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted September 29, 2007 Obviously, I am not a E-scouter, I was at Arivaca lake checkin things out today and it looked EXCELLANT!!! lots of area, and different habitat.. i loved how it looked. when i was there the wind was WHIPPING, im talking 40 mph wind the whole time! needless to say i saw very few deer (one doe) and one rattlesnake.. as well as a mearns... anyone had any luck back there? PM me if you like! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ichiban43 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 I was in there last summer. It did look like good country. We stayed at the Universal RV Park in Arivaca with some friends. I scouted 36A while I was down there--the other half panicked about the illegal situation (I saw them every day while scouting) and so as not to make her worry--I ate the tag. I have the 36b Nov tag this year. Will be going come H-ll or High Water!!! I only went to the boat ramp and didn't know there was a FS campground there. Did you happen to see it?--If so--what was it like--the usual? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EBB Report post Posted September 30, 2007 2nd weekend 2nd hunt last year spent one evening glassing that. Hiked to those hills southeast of the lake. Saw some does and a real nice foot trail (water bottles, clothing along it). You're right though, it looks really good. EBB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atypical Report post Posted October 11, 2007 Nice pics. I spent alot of time near there, including a scout a few weeks ago and archery deer. Lots of people and as stated illegal traffic. Best to get way away from the roads. PM me if you like. Good hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
