Thanks! That’s good to know, I didn’t want to waste a bunch of time and money chasing antelope that weren’t there.

Originally posted by peterp63 View PostI called and they said Unit 4 will be closed this year. Apparently, the map in the brochure was changed for next year’s hunt. Kinda sucks for us that were drawn this year. He also said something about being able to hint coyotes and opening up another 40k acres. Again, I think all this happens for the next draws.

But THIS says "Subunit 6" is closed for the November "restricted" archery hunts:

This is like last year, when they did the ocelot counting. Does anyone know how many were counted? I saw and photographed one last year, and showed the officers the photos and location I saw it.Last edited by ppeeks59; 09-21-2021, 09:04 AM.

I'm going to rely on what the map that came with my permit says, and not what some unknown someone over the phone says, unless and until they send me a different map. So Units 1, 4, and 6 are open to archery hunting. I'm sure Unit 4 is absolutely loaded with nilgai, but you need a boat to get to it, right? I think that alone rules it out.

Originally posted by Tiburon1 View PostIf they don't address it in the orientation, you would have a strong argument. And yes, you would definitely need a boat to hunt that section. The west end of that unit starts a little west of the boat ramps at Adolf Thomae. I normally see nilgai (cows and bulls) each morning when I head out to fish. If it's allowed, that's where I would be.
Do you think there will be an in-person orientation this year? If not, I doubt they’ll address it in the generic video if they even update it for this year.
