Devil's River SNA Del Norte Unit

[outlook8]

Me and a friend hunted Devils River Del Norte in 2014. Awesome hunt. I killed a big mature ram and my buddy killed 2 decent rams. We hunted units 18 and 11. Seen a lot of aoudad and whitetail, did not see any axis. You can access these areas from two roads. The lower road or the upper. We tried both. We had better luck taking the longer drive to get to the mesa's rather then starting at the bottom of the canyons and working up in elevation. Bring a walking stick, backpack with water and snacks, and a long range rifle for sure. We stayed in the bunk house which was good and brought everything we needed. It's along way back to town!

Would you recommend those units? Do we get to pick, or do they pick for us?

I'll have my Jeep, so hopefully we can get to some of the harder to reach areas.

Got the bunkhouse booked as well, so we should be good there. Do we need to bring wood out for fires?

How did the hunt go ???

[outlook8]

Great hunt. Tough, but well worth it. My group got 5 aoudad rams. Nothing huge, low to mid 20s, but trophies for sure given the terrain. We hunted 11 and 18 with a bonus canyon thrown in on the backside. Mike, the ranger, is a great guy and very helpful. PM me with any questions, will try to post a full report when work slows down a bit.

Congrats!

Shane when are your hunt dates?

Hunt starts tomorrow, Hillary. We're here in the bunkhouse now. Saw a 27" ram today when we were driving around. 50 yards away just standing broadside. Maybe a 34 inches will do that tomorrow.

Good luck Shane.
Keep us updated if you can.

[Shane]

There is very little cell service anywhere. We have wifi at the bunkhouse, so updates will be sparse too, but I'll do my best.

The biggest ram killed so far this year was 27". The really big ones are still out there.
