muledeerarea33? Report post Posted October 17, 2017 So I'm taking my favorite little guy to 28 for a mulie hunt in a month. Does anyone know where the big bucks are? I grew up there but haven't hunted it in 10 years. My old hard to get to spots are pry used by 4-wheeler type vehicles now. I just want to give my little buddy a good hunt and let him shoot a 189" deer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted October 17, 2017 I seen a 195" buck get shot down there. Some studs. It's been a few years but that was around Tanque. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted October 17, 2017 No 190"? nah, don't want him shooting a big one for his first mulie. And in full disclosure, my little buddy is 30yrs old, he's just really short haha! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted October 17, 2017 I've never hunted that unit, but have seen a few photos of really nice bucks that were taken over the years. Hope you find a hot spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 I’ve taken a LOT of deer out of that unit. Used to be our stomping grounds. The last couple times we hunted it though, the struggle was real. Hunted 5 days and saw exactly 1 buck. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you find a remote water source, you might be sharing a water hole with many others that have the same idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues79 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 Used to be a great and fun unit to hunt. A lot of stock tanks dry up and force the deer to move. Not a whole lot of permanent water in the unit, but where there is they'll be a concentration of deer. My family has taken some great deer out of there but it's difficult anymore. Good luck.

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted October 17, 2017 Not the unit it once was too many people killing spikes and two points I did a lot of that 10-20 years ago with a few bigger ones in the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
