[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 1032839, member: 37223"] Rifle does have advantages in the desert country. Get up high to glass and see if you can find the deer. Then you can either stalk closer or have a long shot. What I would do when hunting the high desert is glass big canyons to the west as the sun rose. This served numerous purposes...1) The sun was not in my eyes 2) The deer liked to bed on east facing slopes as they would be in the shade in the afternoon 3) If I had to move the deer would be looking into the rising sun 4) Usually the wind was blowing in my face. The other nice thing is I always had my 12 gauge and could fit in quail hunting when the seasons overlapped where most would not drive just to hunt quail. There use to be huge coveys of 30-50 birds due to low hunting pressure. Like I said I have never hunted that unit but that is some of the tips I can give you for hunting public high desert here in NM. [/QUOTE]
