Has anyone on the site here hunted 46A and B for mule deer? I don't need your honey hole or secret spot, I can do my own scouting, I just want to know what your overall experience of the hunt was like and your opinion of the units. I've hunted my fair share of the units in the state but not these two. Thanks Jay

Yeah I'm just looking forward to scouting and seeing new country. We just figured we would check it out because there is a guzzler up there. Glass it for a morning and see what we turn up. We are actually looking at the flats where there is water and glassing hills within a reasonable distance.

Copy, yeah I noticed that a good portion is in unit 40.

Well I guess your more accurate than onyx then, there is a two mile stretch not on the wilderness according to Onx , didn't mean to insult your intelligence. Ill verify with the game and fish.

Childs with the old air force radar station up at the top?

The east side is the side with the road going to the top. look at onx, part of that road is 46A.

Looking at Onx the top of Childs is not in the wilderness area. Where does it sate you cant ride a bike to the top, Just curious?

From talking to the game and fish and watching videos, There is Camino del diablo, and Christmas pass Rd. There is also Charlie Bell Rd. which stops about a mile or so before the well. Childs mountain you can drive the road up to the locked gate, and them mountain bike or hike to the top. But yes for the most part there is going to be a lot of hiking involved.

Yeah I knew that already, we have already planned on walking some miles.

From reading the game and fish notes its just a matter of getting an access permit from one of the military bases, Yuma or Luke AFB. Same as sheep.

As far as I'm aware from talking to Travis its the same as the sheep hunts. Ill verify that though.

We plan to go scout in a couple of weeks. Need to register and get all the necessary permits.

I've seen that well in a video, its one area we plan to scout around.

I'm sure, I've already watched a ton of video's on the Prieta and am saying to myself this is probably going to be one of the toughest hunts I've been on.

No Sir, have hunted pretty much every mountain range in southern Arizona east of the reservation line in the Boboquivari's, but nothing west of there.

Your probably right. Having hunted Colorado, New Mexico, and here, I think the game and fish departments inflate their numbers just to allot more tags and bring in more revenue. That's just my 2 cents. I read an article a few years ago on how Colorado did their surveys and I was like there is no way they can get an accurate number on the population of game animals in a specific unit.

Not trying to tell him, Its just my experience when hunting them. I'm sure he is a far better hunter than me.

Within a few miles of drinkers is our plan unless its raining. I'm guessing your not really glassing for deer when your out there and are concentrating on the bighorn in their habitat which in those two units is not as attractive to mule deer. I'm not saying you cant find deer its just that your hyper focused on finding the sheep. The bighorn are also easier to spot, whereas a mule deer you might have to pick every small tree or large bush apart in a wash to find them, and I speak from experience. There is a lot of flatland those deer can hide out in which makes it hard as heck to hunt. The deer are there as per the stats given to me by the game and fish officer Travis who was very nice and quite helpful. Deer stats- 44 fawns per 100 does, 65 bucks per 100 does, target number game and fish wants to get to is 20-30 per 100 does. The hunt has an average success rate of 13%, 2021- 3 hunters killed, 2022-1 kill, 2023-0 kills. He also said after the first weekend rush of hunters the workers out there start seeing deer along the road occasionally.

Zoinks! I knew there has to be some monsters roaming that land.

They are uncut, 32.25" from nock point.
