trphyhntr Report post Posted November 27, 2020 Maybe someone can give you a good spot, that helps the most. But if not I recommend, as cliche as it sounds to get away from the roads and get up into some stuff. Then when you get toward the back the coues bucks seem to be there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quagmire Report post Posted November 27, 2020 Stick with it, I'm down here now and seen a ton of does but this is normal for our group. Tomorrow with all the traffic out in the hills, they get bumped and always see them. Where in 36B are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I swear coues bucks are my nemesis. Any one care to send a tip my way? Hopefully you have a GPS along. Take the Ruby Rd. west past Ruby and watch for a road on the left at 31.460178189681304, -111.24925561627283 that goes to California Gulch. Go south to about 31.444378519493796, -111.23893362190242 where a two-track goes off to the left. Take it a ways and hunt west of that road. A bit farther west past Ruby is a road on the left that goes to Warsaw Canyon at about 31.44561010967598, -111.27419183803671. Go south to Warsaw Spring at 31.42286176181671, -111.2639672573368. Either park or camp in the general area and hunt both west & east of the road. There's also a little two-track at 31°27'47.9"N 111°12'23.2"W along the Ruby Rd. Take it in about 1/2 mile and hunt. Kill a big one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norm555 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 How far does everyone usually hike away from the road before you start seeing bucks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a matter of how far; it's a matter of where, whether near or far, and how well you hunt, especially when it comes to glassing. I once killed a buck in 36B behind a ridge that ran along the main road. It was less than 200 yards from the road as the crow flies. That said, if you're seeing alot of hunters, you need to move to less crowded areas, which usually means hiking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bustedknuckleinc Report post Posted November 27, 2020 There aren’t any bucks in 36b. Best move to another unit. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot them in truck first. Kidding, you need to get at least a ridge/hill over or 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mind DMing me the general area you saw javelina? I’ve done a little bit of white tail hunting in the NW corner of the unit but I’ve never seen pig.

broadhead Report post Posted November 28, 2020 Hopefully this cooler weather gets them on their feet a little during daylight for you. I’ve been in a different unit scouting for December and same thing. Does does does. But it was still almost 80 so I would be laid up during the day too.

I've never hunted them in 36B, but I've seen javelina on almost every deer or Mearns quail hunt I've ever done in that unit . Once while bird hunting, my German shorthair had a bit of a go at a herd in a wash, and when I tried to get her away, I had a piglet run right betwen my feet to get to mama. If the temps are down, glass sunnny hillsides early in the day. There are lots of coatis in 36B, too., and the season is open in Jan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quagmire Report post Posted November 30, 2020 Just got back from 36B and where I usually hunt was extremely tough. No water and a tremendous amount of does. I didn't see a single coues buck! Frustrating to say the least but will go back at it later during the week and will report back. Chatted with a few different hunters in Arivaca yesterday night when I stopped in for some supplies and story was the same. Did hear plenty of shots so I guess that is a good sign. I feel bad for the deer getting pushed around and not having a water hole. I couldn't find one where I was and asked around... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
