Kel Report post Posted October 22, 2009 Hey, just wondering-has CrazyaboutCoues or anyone else had any luck on scouting 24A? I will be going out early this Saturday morning to scout. Not asking to give up any of your honeyholes, but can you give a novice some advice? You can reply back here or send email to dkeldon@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance.

boomsaki Report post Posted October 23, 2009 I have the same hunt starting next weekend. We have scouted the North section of dripping springs mountain and have seen a good amount of activity. Any thoughts about the Apache Mountaings? I have attached a picture (i think) of what we saw today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loco4coues Report post Posted October 23, 2009 that is one heck of a buck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomsaki Report post Posted October 23, 2009 That's a nice one. Our group is afraid that the southern portion of the unit will be overloaded so we are thinking about the northen portion. any thoughts on that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butters Report post Posted October 23, 2009 That's a nice one. Our group is afraid that the southern portion of the unit will be overloaded so we are thinking about the northen portion. any thoughts on that? Play the hunters to your advantage, get up on a hill side that you will have a good advantage point sit and glass all day. Most of those bucks will hold tight, it takes a lot of patients just sit and glass and glass. I have sat on those hills for 3 or 4 hours glassing only to get frustrated then out of no where there's a buck. Just my opinion if it were my tag I would still hunt the southern part of the unit, lots of good bucks down there. Good luck on your hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomsaki Report post Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks for the advise. That was how our 6A December Rut went last year. Sit and glass, sit and glass then after 3 hours they appeared as if they were watching us. Crazy!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1denogean Report post Posted October 23, 2009 That's a nice one. Our group is afraid that the southern portion of the unit will be overloaded so we are thinking about the northen portion. any thoughts on that?
