Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 10, 2009 West Clear, Wet Beaver, and Fossil Creek seem to be the popular areas. Lots of country between the 260 and Verde River to check also. Take a flight on Google Earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azhuntergirl Report post Posted August 10, 2009 That's the tag the bf and I have. Rough country, but the potential reward is definitely worth the work. Good luck on your hunt. What dates? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawkens Report post Posted August 11, 2009 azhuntgirl its the nov 6-12 hunt 1074 , thanks for the info red rabbit , hoping to find an area where i can get my dad up on a ridge and be able to glass with out busting a** to get to , 30 yrs in the Marines '67 - '97 has taken a toll plus age but i'm not gonna say it to him haha he'll push to stay with me and i don't wanna make it a misserable hunt for him been about 6 yrs since he as killed a deer (in oregan) since he moved out here he hasn't had the chance yet so plan on spending alot of time by myself to find that ideal spot !!!!

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted August 11, 2009 West Clear, Wet Beaver, and Fossil Creek seem to be the popular areas. Lots of country between the 260 and Verde River to check also. Take a flight on Google Earth. Even more country north of 260, Doug.... Don't try to steer the poor guy as far from your end as possible... Seriously, there is a TON of country in that unit that holds coues..... just pic a piece and learn it! Be SUPER patient... they are there. Don't get discouraged if you see carp deer too.... there are lots of places in 6a where a guy can see both. If it gets down to the wire and you still have not found any deer I'll toss you a bone if you pm me. Good luck to you and your Dad. And tell him Thanks for us.... I (we) are so very gratefull for his sacrifices and service to our country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buglethemin Report post Posted October 6, 2009 azhtrgirl is right that unit can be rewarding, I was fortunate to find two nice bucks on opening morning last year, and it was the first time hunting that unit. Good luck on the hunt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
