We may be camping by Aravaca, however I have a 36B tag late November. I would not go Solo, sorry to say to many things can go wrong in that area. Trust me I have seen it all down there. It gets a little scary sometimes if you camp in the wrong spot.

If I was you I suggest going with someone. Trust me you will glass up plenty of people trying to cross while glassing for your coues deer.

I know I have...

Believe me I don't want to go solo but its starting to look that way. I'm starting to consider the sierritas as opposed to the las guajas around arivaca just because its a little further from the border and I've been told there's more hunters in the sierritas which normally I would try to avoid but in this case I'm thinking camping next to a bunch of other camps might be a little safer. Send me a pm if anyone has any words of advice in what I have chosen as a hunting/ camping location. Any advice is welcome as I'm giving these southern unit leftovers a first attempt. Thanks!

I've been given some very good advice from some good folks on here and I'm certain I'm going to have a fun hunt. I can't wait!! I keep day dreaming about that awesome moment when you have been glassing and glassing and then all of a sudden you whisper loudly to your buddy "I got deer" that's what it's all about right there!!

Most of the time I spent in this unit, everyone tends to camp in groups and in the morning they make the long drive to their spot, I know arivaca lake always has around 50 ppl camping , good place for a crowd nearby and plenty of main roads to access from there

Whoops thought this post was on 36b haha, camp near the hwy in 36a that's ur best bet, I have camped there and in 36b and most southern units by myself, I take out my hearing aids before sleep too, just make sure ur loaded and ready if needed, I tend to sleep in my truck (camper) when out

Me and my hunting buddy grabbed a couple of these as well. His daughter has the jr hunt the week before, and I know he will try to camp in the jr deer camp if they have it, but he has a couple of guys who have hunted it recently that are supposed to run out with him to scout. He lives in Tucson, ( I used to ) so he gets to do the scouting for us this year, I havent hunted the unit in over 25 years, and I have no idea where we will camp, but your welcome to camp with us if you dont mind a couple of chain saw running at night. We hunted 36 c on leftovers 2 years ago, and we had no issues, but better safe than sorry. P.M. me if you want, I work just down the road from you in SCW.
