First off, let me say thank you in advance for any opinions given. I am done applying for rifle antelope in Arizona, after 15 years, I have officially given up and I'm throwing in the towel. I will be applying with a friend for archery antelope for the first time. According to the odds calculator, we are guaranteed tags in Unit 1, 3a, 3b, 4b, 6b, 10 and 11m. Also guaranteed tags for the second hunt in Units 19a and 21. My question is more related to a "quality", fun experience. I'm not looking for the top producing unit as far as size, but rather a unit with mature animals and good access, and perhaps not so many hunters. I would like to avoid problems in the field over waterholes and such if I choose to hunt water. Any opinions on a unit to cash in with 15 bonus points? There are quite a few units that look like they would be a guarantee, but I would like to have a chance at a mature goat and it not be a bunch of psychos running around like...... say early archery elk unit 9 type atmosphere.... I haven't really done my research on antelope units because they are so hard to draw.
