That’s awesome this hunt might be a reality for me in coming years. So you did just a public land hunt and saw descent numbers of animals? I hear so much conflicting info it seems. Thanks
That’s awesome! Congrats! It’s a bucket list hunt for me. So you just bought a non res tag and found em on public land huh? I’ve heard people say it’s easy to find the goats and axis on public and other people say it’s near impossible. I’m planning to go just for the experience but the meat and one of those hides would be awesome!

We catch a lot of them walking downhill toward the beach in the morning, and then walking back up toward the top in the evening. First couple days you see a ton because there are a lot of other hunters bumping them. We always just found a nice gulch with a good trail, sat down in cover and waited. Then you get a nice lunch break from 11-3, and back out for the evening hunt!So many deer, if you seriously just picked a trail and sat in the same spot for a week, you'd get a few shot opportunities. Pick a good trail with lots of activity, and you'll get way more than a few. Stalking is tough because they are usually in groups - but it's doable, just have to pick your deer wisely (smaller herds, favorable terrain/wind). If you try and stalk every herd you see, you'll probably waste a lot of time. Best option is seems is to set up in a good spot and just wait!
