East side of the Tumacacori mountains is a great place to start. This will be my third year in a row hunting this unit and that is where I started. Plenty of deer there, just try and find water. Have a good set of binos and a tripod and you will find them. Good luck!

Go as much and as often as you can so that you can get to know the area a bit. It is large and you will need to come up with your plan A,B,C and so on... Tons of hunters in that unit and you will see them everywhere. It can be somewhat discouraging but be persistent and get out there early. You have lots of time from now until your hunts starts. It will be here before you know it and you will be kicking yourself if you can't seem to get to an idea on where to find deer.

As said, go out early each day and be where you want to be glassing from 45 minutes before sunrise, stay out all day (find some mid-day shade) as deer will be active during mid-day as they get up to stretch and browse. The last two hours of sunlight will be productive as the shadows get longer. Everyone on here has been in your place so keep asking questions and we will try to answer them the best we can.

You say you haven't hunted deer before, have you hunted small game? Have you seen a deer field dressed or helped someone do that before?
