What goes on in unit 20?

desperatehills · Jun 4, 2019

Just curious, Is there good, fair, or poor hunting in units 20-AB&C? I bought property in Wickenburg and plan on building a house there in the next 3 or 4 years. They get zero press in Huntin fool, Epic, etc. I will be retired there and will have plenty of time to scout. I am sure there are deer in the unit, what about elk? Sheep? I saw plenty of chewed on cactus to know there are Javelina around. let me know your thoughts on the area, Thanks

PM me if you have something to say that you don't want the world to know

Not aware of any sheep in those units. Plenty of javelina in all 3 units and usually some leftover archery tags for javi every year. All (3) units hold mule deer and if you do your scouting some good bucks can be had.

Agreed with what ruthunter says. I hunt around Lake Pleasant for pigs and deer and have been somewhat successful. Lots of quaders and city folk around, but you can get out and see something if you work.

Fewer hunters, and also fewer deer, but better bucks in 42.

lol AZ8, that's true. If they ever open season on those damn things, I'm tagging out quick!

Funny, I was deer/pig hunting in 20b one morning last January. Quiet, cold, still, perfect. Was doing my foreground glass grid inside of 200 yards...quiet, cold, still....ooo, that looks like a good spot..man, if I was a deer, I'd be there.......HEEEEEEHAAAAAAWWWWW load as hell! Damn burro standing in the middle of an opening just stupidly looking at a big boulder...HHHHHEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW....Then, everywhere I looked, I found them all over the place.

Dumb asses
