Looking for a ranch

JPickett · Aug 25, 2024

Hey guys. Long shot but maybe someone on here could point me in the right direction.

Looking for some property access to set up a predator hunting trip. This will be a corporate type trip so looking to pay a fee for access, at least two of us are legit predator hunters so don’t need guided but not opposed if someone knows a good outfit.

If anyone has a good lead I’d appreciate it

If yer camping, units 41, 42, 43/44 have wide open spaces to call dogs. and, they are plentiful. There are motels in certain areas, but im not gonna say they are 5 star, lol. if yer interested in that, ill give you more info. thanks!

Any info would be great ASB, thank you.

Looking for some good action. We can kill coyotes here in Idaho but if making the trip down there for some team building I’m trying to find some real hot calling. Generally that means some limited access. But I’d love to chat about some areas if your game. I’ll kick you a PM when I get some time

Thanks again

Dunno if BigBo has major issues with coyotes- but access is limited most of the year except for big game hunters who pay fees. HUGE ranch...

Yes indeed! Thats an enormous ranch full of top of the line antelope, deer, elk -we shot prairie dogs galore for 15 years there before they started charging like $ 10- 15 a day per person, so Im told now.
On coyotes, we saw many in the prairie dog towns
just west of Seligman, Az - they always seemed to be there hunting . We of course shot as many as we could . With that much acreage, the Ranch Hands/ Managers would be worth an inquiry as to where & how many there are there.
Doesnt hurt to ask for details! Its a really neat place to see ! I miss going there ! Spent 15 summers there shooting before having to move to Wyoming.
Best of Luck

36 ab and c have tons of song dogs. Public and private ranch access. Camp in the desert. Only place I called in a lion. Go in Nov/ Dec...pound the doves too. Quail thru Jan.

JPickett · Aug 25, 2024

You get that lion?

Moe · Aug 26, 2024

Nope. Had a muzzleloader in my hand. Missed.

Question: are there any good prairie dog towns that youve seen in any of those units ? Im always looking for them ! Not easy to find them these days. Coyotes are another great find too !
Please let me know at your earliest convenience- it would be very appreciated! Thanks so much !

Tons of Lions down there . Definately get a Lion tag when in that unit!.

Not sure about prarie dog colonies in the desert units. Regarding JP's questions.......depending where you are at, the calling can be hot or chitty. The dogs are there, but its really wide open country & they move all over. Saying that, we have success just off of the AG areas in those units mentioned above. For a guaranteed "Hot" action spot, not sure i have that up my sleeve. But, if you decide to it, let me know. Good luck!!

Appreciate all the responses guys. An Arizona trip had been on my list for a long time. Got some good leads here.

Is 36 ABC even safe with all the illegals crossing the border?

Ed · Sep 11, 2024

Not sure about that. I’ve hunted 36s a dozen times in the last 20 years and last year we didn’t see a single illegal or border patrol unit on non paved roads. I think the illegals are funneling through easier areas where they are processed and released by BP. I may be wrong
