Hello,
I am a brand new hunter here in Arizona and have hunted deer just once this last year. I applied for a leftover elk tag this year and was drawn for Units 15A, 15B and 18A. So far the research I have done has suggested that I should stick to 18A. I will have over a month between November 8th and December 12th to hunt. I plan on spending one or two 4 days stretches out there hunting and scouting the unit for a couple weekend trips before I head out there. Does anyone have any tips for hunting this unit? I know that it will be a very challenging hunt especially given that I am an inexperienced hunter. My plan so far is to start out on the northern part of the unit near or on the BLM land and spend a couple days hunting that area. I plan on doing my best to get away from the roads and other hunters and am comfortable hiking fairly long distances. Please let me know if you guys any suggestions and I welcome any help you can provide. I don’t expect anyone’s honey hole just some tips if someone is willing to help me out.
Thank you guys!
