Title: Desert Deer
Post by: acrocker on November 21, 2015, 09:07:47 AM: 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!

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.

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

:yeah: 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

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.

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
