creed_az_88 Report post Posted June 10, 2020 All flat land around the base of the MTN range in the unit has mule deer. Private property is tricky but there is plenty of huntable deer. Focus on all of the flat mesquite draws that leave the mtn range headed into the valley on the east side of the range. It's an over rated unit in my opinion unless one has access to private land. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reyt85 Report post Posted June 10, 2020 @creed_az_88 thanks for the info... that’s great info!! I’m trying to get as much info as possible.. what kind of deer did you see? I read that there are some possibilities of a giant but have to hunt the private public land borders? Did you hike in and set up camp or camped from trail head?

Did you hike in and set up camp or camped from trail head? I didn't hunt mule deer. I hunted whitetail. I saw multiple 130-140" type deer. Most of the deer that I saw were huntable huntable by day hunting. I didn't see anything at all that intrigued me enough to want to backpack hunt it if I had the mule deer tag. There were multiple camps with mule deer hanging from Geronimo trail to cloverdale. I would say the public stuff gets hunted pretty hard. Most of the really good mule deer turf that I saw was locked up pretty tight and posted heavily. You shouldn't have a problem filling your tag. But finding a big old deer might be a different story. I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
