as far as unit 231 is concerned ,this year is as good as any I have seen in the last 15 years,last year my brother took an opening day 178 inch 5 by 5, we seen a lot of good deer however, typical and non typical, so far this year there have already been a few amazing bucks harvested, Randy Ulmer scored again big time on a fine archery buck, if you know where to go ,you should not have a problem in finding a buck that is up to youre standards ,if you are looking for a guide, there are a few outstanding outfitters who, on a regular bases always seem to come through on monster bucks in that area ,one is Purplesage outfitters and another is ,Mogollon rim outfitters,if you are looking to hire a guide you would not go wrong with either of the two I have mentioned, also there are a number of other local guides who know the area very well. hunt hard ,go early and stay late.
