wow thats a bold question for your first post ever. what do you have to offer in return?

bullhunter · Jul 1, 2008

whats so bold about the question I asked? I am just looking for info on the unit?

SweetBull · Jul 1, 2008

hahah well sometimes you have to be assertive to get results right? If i were hunting it, i would try the northwest section close to reserve .... and if you take a map and draw a straight line from reserve to mogollon, then anywhere along this line should produce .... and remember to get off the quad. now how bouts throwin some advice my way?? pecos archery deer??

bullhunter · Jul 1, 2008

lol yea thats right. we plan on going scouting a couple of times before the hunts start to get an idea of the areas so we will be sure to check those places. Pecos deer? I have never been to that area but have had some cousins hunt that area and I believe from what they have told me they saw some quality bucks. I will talk to them and find out what areas they hunted. I am more familiar with the northcentral mountains of NM.

I wish I had that tag again!

I hunted 16a quite a few times before the non-resident quota was set. Find Devils Park on map and scout it out. A few remote waterholes with lots of country to hide a BIG bull. Glass, Glass, Glass and then set up on "hot" tank. Sign Camp Canyon may also pay off............

Just go to kill a bull.............Wait I have that tag and am looking for 380+. Where should I go,
I am new there any hotspots? PLEASE give all your secrets!!!!

sign camp canyon road will take you to devils park...the park is hot as hell and dry, aptly named...be prepared to fight with outfitters for those tanks...

thank you guys, I will definitely scout those areas. Is it possible to stick a 400 class or are my sights set a little to high for this unit?

leftturnabq · Jul 2, 2008

Anything's possible, and that is a great unit for a chance at something like that. Of course, 400 class bulls are rare, but that's a premier area. I like the eastern portion of that unit.
