Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 6, 2004 A friend and I would like to pursue these critters in the next month. I have only seen these monkey-like creatures once several years ago in unit 29 and really don't know where to go. Have any of you lucky coues hunters run across 'em this past season and would like to point me in the right direction? gps coordinates are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted January 6, 2004 Doug, There's an area in Unit 36B just off the road into Warsaw Canyon that is literally teeming with coatis. My son and I ran across a flock about 50 a couple years ago, and we saw some nearly every day regardless where we hunted in this same vicinity. I'm guessing it's about 4-6 miles in on the road and before where the camp that the national guard had in there several years ago. I do recall that hunted the right side of the road, just before it climbs up sort of steep to several tight turns. There's a nice flat area where we camped on the left just before the hill. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest_galiuro mountain man Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Go around Angle Orchard on Mt Graham. I have shot a couple there, but have seen tons, literally. I have seen as many as about 200 at one time in the orchard. I shot a couple there with my bow so far. This place is packed with them. It is amazing to see them all in the trees, all over the ground. Just remember, you are only allowed one per year. I would try to get ahold of the owners and ask for permission to hunt there. GMM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catclaw Report post Posted January 8, 2004 I saw two troupes of them in unit 24A this year. One had 24 and the other I only saw bits and pieces. I hunted the same spot several days later for several days and did not see them again so I wouldn't send you there. I saw hundreds off them in NM in Nov 2002. This was in the Mtns south of Mule Creek. I also saw them in every side canyon off Aravaipa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Thanks for the info, gentlemen. I wonder why the limit is one per year if they are increasing their range and cause depredation problems. A long weekend of hunting could be like a southern Arizona safari- archery deer, coati, and mearns quail, and maybe coyote and bobcat if the coati respond to varmint calls. I'll let you know how it goes at the end of January. Good luck on your archery coues hunting. Doug/RedRabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COUESAZ Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Treestandman I have never heard of anyone eating them It would be like eating a mixture of dog,cat.monkey, racoon. As far as im concerned I dont think I could unless i was in need for the food. Has anyone tasted it if you have pass it on and let us know how it tastes and I will take your word on it.I do know a spot were i have seen an albino one two times now. I have killed one out of the hundreds ive seen, and if i get the chance at the albino ill take the picture and show everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
