A 22

[uhunter]

Does anyone else hunt this area. I hunt the palomar area quite a bit and dont see other hunters just wondering?? Also can anyone point me in another direction to hunt in this area a22. Just trying to find new areas that are local for me thanks and good hunting to all.

I'll be hunting A22 in the next couple weeks. ###For the fist time. ###Have to give it a try.

I'll be hunting at area 51 in a few weeks, let you know what happens.:no no::shootin:

I gave the Agua Tibia Wilderness area a try over the weekend. ###Things were VERY dry there. ###I don't think I'd go back unless it was the December season in the hopes there's more moisture. ###But even then your options are EXTREMELY limited with the thick brush in the area.

Hunted Palomar Saturday. ###Jumped a nice buck in the morning. ###Blew my one chance. ###Nothing more to report. ###Only 6 deer taken since opening day. ###Some guys don't even see deer so I feel OK. ###I'll be wiser in December.

I've hunted A22, missed a forked horn the first week. Darn deer walked up while I was taking a leak in a little hole I dug. Somewhere between getting my fly zipped and pulling back on the bow, I looked at the wrong pin and over shot! Oh well at least I got to see him. I let 6 doe walk by before he came. All up in the Julian Area.

Hey Bohunter7. ###Do you know about Fry Creek? ###I've heard this is bow only. ###This could be hunted now with a D16 tag with no gun hunters. ###Also, do you know if you can hunt Laguna Rec area with a D16 tag during rifle season?

UHunter, I'm also looking to hunting this area come the beginning of DEC. ###I've been talking to a couple of people that hunt the area up near Palomar and they tell me the DOES are there, but they haven't seen a BUCK

I have been hunting this area for the past 2 years. I already have a doe in the freezer and will be looking for my buck come DEC 1st.

[nobuckkev]

i have seen 3 bucks this year already and have heard of a couple more. They are out there but are extremely hard to come by. That and a lot of luck helps out.

sdbower, I went up to fry creek to check it out about a month ago. U can only hunt with a bow, and must be at least 150 yards outside the camp, or 150 yards off the trails before you can take a shot. The ###ranger told me there are some water holes hidden in there, but wasnt sure exactly where. It looked good but I havent really scouted yet. ###If you go back down the mountain to mile maker 6, I saw another bow hunter in there on public land. Its called love valley I think, But im not sure how ther hunting is in there either. Im usually in Julian. I was thinking about trying Palomar though, just to hit a new area.

Just moved my stand to another location this past weekend. Not a whole lot of buck sign but there were a lot of does tracks everywhere and the rut should be getting going here in about three weeks or so. I'll be up scouting this weekend also. I can show you guys some areas where they have been seen. I would like to see any bowhunter take bucks from my area. It should be a team effort anyhow. Silent and deadly is the only way to go. Be safe.
