And def ask BP where the bucks are cruising! Seriously, I imagine you'll be alright as long as you keep your wits. Stealth camping for sure. What made you pick that unit?
I don't know what the "Trump" effect will be this year. Last year my uncle was down there and in 1.5 days saw 5 different groups of dope smugglers. About 30 people total. The year before I saw 2 guys packing big bales of dope and they camped about 150 yards from us in the next saddle down the ridge. Some other hunters we ran into that year called in BP when they found 10 bales of dope stashed in a canyon bottom. None of the illegals I have seen in that unit were just "nice people looking for a better life." They have all been drug smugglers. I got tired of not sleeping well at night and hunted a different unit last year and will be in a different unit this year.
