Illegals have become a great problem in recent years so be prepared to have your hunt messed up.
Are the illegals just passing along the county roads or are they walking though the middle of the refuge? Are border patrol walking though refuge in search of them? Are they breaking into vehicles? Just curious what you meant about expecting the hunt to be messed up.
I will be down there next week 19th-22nd.

They can be seen near the roads most of the time but I have heard of some cases of them thru the brush east of Co Rd. 30 moving north since is the only section that connects with solid brush in the ranch north of the refuge. I have never heard of any break ins to vehicles, What I mean of the messing up a hunt is that they will spoke any animals in the area.

I got a cow Saturday. I found a freshly used large dung pile that had a large mesquite tree with a large horizontal limb with a place to stand/sit that was 20 yards downwind from the pile. I could hear the cow coming slowly through the brush stopping, looking, sniffing. She finally stepped out just upwind from me and stopped at the edge of the brush. She was very spooky and stood there frozen for what seemed an eternity. I'm sure she would have seen me if I was on the ground. I was was afraid she was going to see me but finally she walked past giving me the quartering away shot I was looking for. I sent a bolt through the rib cage and actually got full penetration through the opposite shoulder. She ran about 70 yards and I heard her pile up behind a tree. She let out out a couple of moans. After that the work began. I skinned/quartered her up and was able to tie off the parts in game bags to the ebike. I was able to push her on the ebike about a half mile to the county road. One of the local fish and wildlife officers was kind enough to meet me at the county road to help haul the quarters to my truck which was about a mile away down the county road.
