I was wondering if anybody hunts the sand country in the southeast corner of the state need info on which units would be goog to hunt this year.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jul-30-04 AT 07:12PM (MST)[p]elk- As far as 31 it used to be good because it was hush hush but now alot of people have turned to hunting in 31 due to the lack of deer in 30. I have seen a few bruisers in 31 but they are few and far.... 30 isnt in the sand this was a fun unit for a long time no real big deer but always seen deer. Lately though it has been terrible.In 33 I have seen some monsters in this unit but I am not sure of the amount of people that actually hunt it.
 
I know a few people who hunt East of Roswell and consistently see good deer, but it is hunted hard- especially oilfield roads which are constantly traveled. The whole area is in a 7-10 year drought, although this year we have had twice as much rain as all of last year. There are some really isolated areas down in 31 between Loving and Jal, but I don't know any specifics. Are you looking for bow, rifle, or muzzy?

im looking for rifle since its the last year for over the counter tags. I figure i might as well get any chance possible.
 
All the seasons will be pre-rut and pretty typical. The weather is usually mild in November. I would opt for a
during-the-week hunt. New Mexico is so generous with their 2- 3 day season choices. I hope some of the changes they are making will help the deer populations.
