Set a lawn chair on the back porch of one of the houses in the housing area nearest Huachuca Canyon. Pop open a beer, and wait until just before dusk.

...or frequent the cemetary that's full of lush grass, shade and WT...

Saw two of the biggest, fastest whitetails Thursday last out at the Golf Links picnic area when I took a wrong turn going to the Sportsman Center.

 

And what's up with the crossbow prohibition unless you only have one arm in AZ? It's just a bow with a trigger, that's all

Crossbows are legal during any firearm season, but they aren't a bow. They are also legal for those with a medical exemption only.

Do you work in fort huachuca cause you cant hunt unless you are a civilian for the military or in the military for that matter!!! I think if you work in the Fort your able to hunt there. Anyways I hunt in the Fort and my father and I have pulled out some great bucks there. Good luck!!!

Yeah, that's pretty much the whole problem

I went out this weekend on Ft. H and saw a couple bucks, but still kinda new to archery hunting, any helpful hints. I did a spot and stalk, but lost sight of them about 100 yds out in thick brush and never saw them again.

Spot and stalk on a coues deer is extremely difficult. It separates the men from the boys. (I am a boy) Your best bet would be to set up a blind or treestand near a water hole.

Any idea where any watering holes are, i've been to wood cutters pond and havent seen anything, dont really want to "forum hunt" but I am scouting/hunting this week and then taking leave all next week to bag my first archery deer.
