Desert Deer

[acrocker]

I haven't seen any success stories for the Desert unit yet this season - the modern hunt ends tomorrow and the archery hunt was way back in Sept-Oct. Anybody done anything or heard anything about it? I really like that unit, hope to draw that tag myself one day... (Maybe when I'm old and gray - wait, too late.)

Let's see some pics!

Unfortunately you will see less and less threads every year on the desert unit as it gets worse and worse

Not near the critters out there as years past.  Still some crazy hawgs, but they don't come easy.  Luck will do you better than skill out there.

there is a lot of poaching going on in desert unit

I had tag archery 5 years ago . I found quite a few deer with heads cut off in unit. I did report it.

I know a guy that hunts neighboring units a lot of orchard workers shooting plenty of deer, doesn't do any of the herds around there any good

damn shame what these poachers do to our game.  I don't get it, you kill a pig of a deer or elk, then you make up some BS story to tell your friends?!? I have always felt that poaching would be slowing phased out by time, but I guess some people just don't friggin get it.

My buddy killed a dandy. He had a muzzy tag. Spent a lot of time looking before he found a good one.

Besides the poaching you are talking about I am sure some of the animals are killed by feild workers out there.  The place is full of them
