If you are talking unit 14, not 014 I would spend the night before the season sleeping on Diamond Peak.

Or wait til the last week and glass from the bottom with quality optics. It's only 2-3 hours to the top.

I have hunted this unit 3 times. We have had good luck in 141 in the head of sheep creek. Also during a scouting trip in 2001 came across 2 really good bucks next to the buckhorn mines in unit 141.
I have hunted the Diamonds on those trips and all I have run into there is big 2pts. 26in plus, I did see one really nice buck come out of telegraph canyon to the north up on top.

the other day i went out behind roberts mountain looking to scout an area my dad took me when i was around 14 yrs old i didnt find the exact place. but i did find some good country where the deer could be found once the weather starts cooling and there was good access for low land with not so many trees and higher.

A long time ago we hunted the tops just south of Telegraph, think it was the head of Horse Canyon and the one to the south of Horse. Tons of deer and 2 legit 30"ers. About 5 years ago a friend drew and I tagged along. We packed out after two days. Saw less than 20 deer. Walked up Diamond in the dark several hours the next day and saw 2 he woulda shot. I think he ended up eating his tag.

In 144, take the Cottonwood Ranch Rd. up along the west side of the Diamonds, keep checking the access roads to the Mtn until you find the "old Charcol Kilns".
Then start walking back in there and you will have two or three different trails to follow up into the back country.

The best time though is when the weather starts to change like "SNOW" and cold. Found some really nice Bucks in there back in '96......the kicker was we were hunting late in Oct. and season then ended in the first part of NOV.

Found out later that after we left...heavy blizzard came and the town of Eureka was right in the way of the deer migrating down out of there to the south in 145 & 131. Must have been a sight to see like the old days.

Good luck,

Brian
