Desert Quality(GMU 290) early rifle.

I want to camp as close as I can to where I’ll be heading in. Never been there. Can only do 1 scout trip. Can anyone give me info on spots to look at or even info on where they have seen some good ones. I can hunt the whole season. I have to have a knee replacement and it’s gonna be some rough hunting for me. Getting a shot before I go. Even if I have to crawl I will be out there !!!

If you wanna stay in a resort, stay at Pier 4. It's right there, it's got clean showers, full hookups, cable.

The monster deer I saw there, when I was staying there, were west on the frontage road at the spot to go fishing.

I wouldn't campout because of the gangsters and riffraff.

I'd stay at pier 4 and hunt the end of the A and C rd. Park at the end of the A rd walk to the gate in the fence, follow the fence till it ends and then make about a 30 to 45 degre angle to the right heading out into the dunes. Shoot big deer, take pictures. You can hunt it from the state park side and park at the trail but you will walk through a lot of country that doesn't hold deer. Been there done that. I drove around to the A and C rd form the park. I wish Would have known about Pier 4. Way closer to amenities and the A rd.

I hunted the unit last late Archery season with my son. He drew the tag. The terrain is very easy and forgiving for those that are physically challenged, I would know, I was 6 months out from a meniscus surgery and awaiting my TKR (which I just had May 1st). Easy walking, some areas have gated off roads to walk on the south end of the unit near the state park.
I perfered hunting the areas off Durr Rd between the crops and dunes.
