mulie hunter Report post Posted October 9, 2006 Got back from scouting 35a , To sum it up,Frustrated! 1st scout trip saw 3 bucks, this trip saw flock of turkeys, herd of Javelina, couldn't find the bucks though, only saw 3 whitetail does & three mulie does.It has me wondering where to be opening morning. Hopefully I'll have time for one more trip. Is Whitetail hunting always this frustrating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missedagain Report post Posted October 9, 2006 What? You only saw a few does... Welcome to the land of hunter opportunity If I new 35a at all I would help you out, but only hunted it once. Good luck on your hunt and keep us posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbyo Report post Posted October 9, 2006 mulie hunter, You drove all the way from Arizona city! To scout for an 80 pound greyhound with antlers? Your friends on the strip must think you are crazy. For general information, one thing that I think the experts leave out on their glass glass glass advice is that you have to be in an area that is glassable. There are many places in 35 A that probably contain lots of whitetails, but I would consider unglassable due to the thick vegetation. I like to pick spots where individual cactus are visable. I figure if I can make out the different cactus forms I could also pick out a deer bedded. I will pm you with some spots to check out. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mulie hunter Report post Posted October 9, 2006 I agree compared to a Mulie they're small deer, but they seem alot harder to hunt. It takes about 2 hours to drive to Canelo from Arizona city, It's located between Tucson & Phoenix. Thanks Bobbyo for the good advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhunter Report post Posted October 10, 2006 canelo hills give better glassing opporunities than the huachucas, try to hunt either the canelo hills or the smaller hills at the base of huachuca mtns, try to avoid the east side of the mountains from miller to dry canyon...lots of hunters there, stick to the north and west side around canelo, avoid hunters and have "calmer" deer to deal with, they'll be very scattered due to huge rains out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mulie hunter Report post Posted October 10, 2006 Thanks elkhunter, I've noticed the area is very wet, streams running, water everywhere. I need the calmer deer, and maybe they are scattered out, that's why were seeing low numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
