Burros vs Peloncillos Coues Dec 2011

[WhiskeyMan]

Which of these two new 9-day hunts is the better one for a C+ somewhat experienced Coues hunter looking for a 90"+ buck and who has the entire season plus maybe a few days before to scout?

Also needs to hunt public land and is willing to hike a bit.

Thanks for your input.

Hunt the Pelon's down near the Border. Good stuff in that country. If drawn I would set the sight a bit higher than 90's...

^or not...my buddy was just in there a week or so ago, and the place was crawling and buzzing with La Migra puttin the hammer on the place

He actually glssed up three illegals trying to hide in a wash, and was able to get a hold of BP and get em in there to nab them rascals. The agents said it was definitely a period of unusually high activity, but something similar could obviously occur anytime.

In any case, be careful if you decide to hunt there, but I don't think no rat deer is worth the possibility of gettin in a firefight with them despicable drug cartel guerillas

ha! nah man, you guys can have it! hell, i have absolutely no interest in hunting a rat deer anyway!

 

[carlos]

All you have said is true. However, one shouldn't even consider the border units if he is afraid of the illegals. The fear of them has led to a great many people avoiding the area, hence the good big buck hunting.

 

[greatwestern]

Quite possibly, sure...but I guess the main point I was trying to make is that I can't imagine that the hunting would be improved by a bunch of ground activity and helicopters flying all over should one of the 'intensive operations' occur during someones hunt period?

That was what I was gettin at, however unlikely the coincidence might be
