16A youth mule deer hunt

[cubfanbudman]

My son has his first Mule deer hunt in a few weeks and I was trying to find the best way to get around the Hualapai Mountain at the base. We will be out scouting the next couple of weekends and I want to set up a few trail cams. He is really excited about the hunt. He is even doing work around the house and home work for school with out being asked. Thanks for any information.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-28-08 AT 10:57PM (MST)[p]I live over the mountain in the BHC area. Never hunted deer
up there, but alotta birds along the Alamo road. If you didn't find what your looking for last weekend you might 'Google Earth'the area. Lotta roads along the west side, Boriana(sp) mine road takes you up over the top and looked like good area.
PM sent

Good luck on the hunt.

I don't know what fugitive sent you in his pm but I just know that when I asked the same question on a unit I was interested in...Fugitive gave very good advice and I ended up with a 29 inch mule deer :7

Don Martin seems to know a lot about this youth hunt and I have heard he has great success guiding kids on 16A. You should look him up on here.

Kevin, can you please PM me what Fugative PM'ed you? I promise I won't tell a soul.

I have been in the Hualapai's for a few days in the past few weeks, assisting the 2008-09 Super Raffle javelina winner.

The weather has been horribly hot, and we've seen just two single pigs (no shots) and exactly ZERO deer. Been looking from Wikieup north to I-40.

Way to hot for the critters. Critters are up an hour in the morning and an hour before dark. Rest of the time they are buried in the brush.

Be glad your hunt starts in early October, it will cool down by then, and deer will be more visible.

If you must do anything now, just learn the roads out there.

Good Luck!
