          Don't think that was me...coulda been. My second trip was the meat to the cart. One trip to the truck. I was in unit 1.

                Going the week before. All day, every day. My training for this hunt started months ago.

                    I hunted all day every day of the hunt last year. Eat a good breakfast and take lunch and water with you. I was in a pop up which was good with the light rain we had. However, I think it spooked the Nilgai I saw. The whitetail did not seem to care.

                        I had a huge bull at 20 yards... problem was he stopped behind a big yucca plant in my blind spot as I drew back. I think he saw the pop up and froze. he went out in the field about 75 yards and looked at me for a few minutes and trotted off.

                        I saw a couple groups o cows....but they had seen me first. As I was glassing across I saw them looking at me.

                        I think the pop up is not conducive to Nilgai hunting. If I get drawn again, I'll sit in the brush or on a tripod.

                        the cows were about 75 yards or so.

                          I think we hunted the same week last year, I was in unit 1 as well. Mind if I pm about the hunt?

Discuss no more. Carry on about your trip. They are not going to be your friend. You have no obligation to speak to them past checking permits. They do not care about anything other than fulfilling their mere obligations to write citations even without solid factual evidence. Been there.

                            Oh, do not forget, they read this thread. Watch what you post on here...

Last year i would take a 3 liter camelback with me every morming and 2 extra water bottles. Found myself really having to ration to make it through the whole day.
                              put 4 extra water bottle holders on ur mountain bike. and load down ur pack with as many as u can carry!!! i went last year and walked 20 Miles in 2 days watching hunters pass me on mountain bikes then went to the Brownsville pulga and bought a mountain bike for 50$. still have it! i would recommend mounting a gear rack on the back or maybe some kind of deer cart with arm that mounts to ur SEAT post

                                2 way radios work well at laguna as long as they arent the cheapos. and wear good hard soled shoes if u are gonna walk the hard Rocky caliche roads i wore rubber boots. killed my feet. then was hard to pedal after i bought a mountain bike.
