Questions about the youth cow hunt in unit 10

[AZHUNTER05]

Good afternoon, 

My son was fortunate enough to draw the youth cow tag in unit 10 (October) this year. I’ve personally never stepped foot in the unit. We’re going to head up and do multiple scouting trips before the hunt starts. I was curious if anyone would be willing to give me some advice on the unit. I plan on buying a pass to hunt the Boquillas ranch. However, since you aren’t allowed to use four wheelers or side by sides on the ranch I’m planning on hunting the east side of the unit instead. Mainly because I don’t want to beat up my truck on rough roads. So, my question to anyone that’s had this tag. Can you find elk all over the unit or should I be hunting the ranch? 
 

Thank you in advance, 

Cameron

The ranch. It’s only 1 $for you and 1$ for kid. You won’t beat up your truck. It can get muddy but the roads are fairly decent if they are not washed out.   East side is ok but 3/4 of that unit is on the ranch.  Don’t miss out on the majority of the unit by not going on the ranch

Ok, thank you for the info!

Plenty of elk off the ranch. Many roads on it are fine, but plenty of them suck big time.
