Hey dharris, what unit were ya'll in? Any other scouting sighting reports would be greatly appreciated.

[doole44]

WE have 30 ft terry with a white 4-door Ford...A scouting report would be nice..where did you get your numbers???

[Fishrhunt]

My buddy that put us in for the draw told me that thats what we had on our cards after we paid. I am really not sure.

[doole44]

You going down sunday? We are...

[dharris]

We were in west blocker stand 205.We saw deer everywhere.They let us use corn for the youth hunt.We put out 250lbs on saturday evening and sunday morning all gone.If they let you use stands ,there was a good tree about 200 yards north of 205 right at the trail were all the deer were coming out in the sendero.

[Fishrhunt]

Yeah, we r headed down on Sunday. Thanks for the info dharris. I hope they let us use corn too. I heard a rumor that they were gonna allow baiting but the last time we hunted there we couldnt.

[craig_k]

We will be there also. Going down Sunday. Grey Dodge pulling 28' Jayco. We are #20 on our draw. Stop by and see us. Craig

[Fishrhunt]

Sounds good. Does anyone know if you can have camp fires down there? Not sure if there is a burn ban right now.

[craig_k]

Not sure. Call the office down there. They have always been helpful. In the past they
Have only let you use corn on youth hunts. They say that the bucks they want shot don't come to the corn. It keeps people from shooting the young bucks.

[doole44]

Craig where did you find your number? I think i am 1 or 21? see you all there..

[craig_k]

At the top there will be a number. I cant remember the entire # but it is XX-***X-20. The last two #'s is the order your application was drawn. One number for everyone in your group. In the past you pick your area by the order you were drawn.

I was just down there on the youth hunt. David said NO baiting this year I was trying to pick his brain. All he would say is its one of the best years hes ever seen, big deer every where. I didnt see any in the pasture we were in but other hunters in almost every compartment was seeing big deer. The only problem with that is what is a big deer to them sooo close your eyes and pick a pasture. Good luck update us on yuour hunt please...
