az300wby Report post Posted April 2, 2011 I was lucky to have drawn a great tag. Looking for advice and or tips in finding a great goat in 18A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted April 2, 2011 Good luck. Had that tag a few years ago and was highly disappointed. Still had fun though and got a decent one. Get away from the roads and look for pockets in the cedars and along the edges of private property is my best advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az300wby Report post Posted April 2, 2011 what is decent? 80 inches. I have 4 antelope 2 archery az 79 to 81 and 2 NM rifle 76 to 80. I am looking for a 82+. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

az300wby Report post Posted April 2, 2011 I know that this unit can be hit or miss. I am hoping this is a good year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EliAGrimmett Report post Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) 18A has been awful the last couple of years, but at least you drew the best tag (muzzleloader). There's been an 86" buck in there for a couple years that keeps surviving because, like the others have mentioned, he finds his way into the trees and becomes very difficult to hunt. I attached a photo of the buck, but apparently I'm missing something when it comes to figuring out how to display it. How do I get it to show up?

robertramsey61 Report post Posted April 28, 2011 We were in there last year and saw 2 bucks that would go 85+ one was always wide out in the open, problem he was close to houses and could only be taken with a bow. I have seen a lot of goats in that unit, and seen a lot of good ones, just have to hunt hard they are there, but the private property is a pain in the butt.
