Listen to the Jay Scott Podcast. 567: AZ Unit Breakdown for Mule Deer and Coues Deer with Duwane Adams. Great info.
This is what I did in January during my first Coues deer hunt. Great advice.
January was my first year hunting coues in AZ. I hunted 34A for 7 days and just tent camped by my truck. No issues, had a great time. I did carry a sidearm.
