Just went on the first deer scout of the season in Unit 6A, I live near the northern part of the zone and was told to go more south so that’s what I did. Got to Stoneman Lake area around 6 and scouted till 9. We started in the rattlesnake canyon area, and then crossed over to the other side of the road. Saw a few javelina, some elk, and coyotes but not one deer. There were a lot of tracks and scat all over the place, but we just couldn’t seem to find any of them today. This was my first time in the area so I was kind of just guessing where to go. If anyone ever has been in that area any pointers would be great. It seems like there is deer there just no luck finding them this morning.

1 1/2 years ago a friend had a late 6a rifle elk hunt and I went along to help. We hunted the beaver creek area south and south west of apache maid mtn. I was really surprised by all the deer we glassed up in those canyons and draws. Mixture of muleys and coues. Other than that all the deer I see in that unit are within 1/2 mile of homes and cabins. 11m has a lot of deer.

Had deer at my house about ever other day all winter long, This summer, lucky to see any, maybe once a month. They change their habits depending on the season. Right now the does are caring for the fawns, bucks are in batchlor groups and probably very nocturnal.
