Huntaholic Report post Posted December 3, 2009 In your opinion what's the best road hunting unit in the state? Not talking about shooting out of trucks road hunting. I'm talking about parking the truck and hiking no more than 100 yards or so to a good glassing location. Don't care about size just want the best chance to glass up the most bucks close to a road.

willhunt4coues Report post Posted December 3, 2009 From what I have seen every unit is good. But in all seriousness 23 would be problably good in the central area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Str8Shot Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Think it depends on what you are looking for ..... Driving off road as well as tons of scouting trips I have seen Just as much game from the road in southern units as the northern ....... if your talking about getting in good locations not far off the road where you can glass and maybe get a few hundred yard shot on Mule deer or coues I would say the lower units bellow the rim ..... 23 as good as the unit is has a high density of road hunters , and road conditions as well as proposed closures may make an impact on the years to come (we will see) .... The 24's offer good as well as the bad of 4x4 roads that will let you get high and have lots of glassing potential ..... As much as your going to be bashed about the road hunting thing (and something I am not a fan of) Not a hunter on this site has not spotted quality game from a road driving and not let that be a reason for further investigation into the area they have seen them.... and I highly doubt that any hunter here in traveling to a specific destination that jumps a quality animal from their vehicle that presents them with the time to get out and make a quality shot is not going to take it ..... As much as I like to get away from the roads the fact is that a big majority of hunters drive from dawn to dusk with a few stops in between and in doing so have their fair share of tags filled including some Toads ..... If it is your day then it is your day and to try to state one unit as better than another from a road would be hard to do IMO ....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My brothers and I killed these 3 bucks that were glassed up from the same point 100 yards from not only a road but the highway. The first 2 were killed in 2008 and the last one just this oct. Oh yeah, unit 22. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WinMag Report post Posted December 4, 2009 If you have a good 4x4 and not afraid of Az pin-striping or maybe even some body damage. Then 36B has a ton of high roads on ridge lines that will provide for good glassing. The 102 3/8 deer I pulled out of that unit was spotted on my scouting trip from a road 4 years ago. I hiked back into the same spot before sunrise on opening day though to take the shot. My partner got off three rounds on a 105+ this year as we were driving into an area to hike. I have to agree with what alot of others have said above though your chances go up if you beat the feet more than the tires. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
