JustinB Report post Posted November 3, 2015 So making the best out of a fall with only over the counter tags. Have been wanting to add a coati rug to my collection for a while. I have no idea to even begin looking. I know that they are not near where I live in Flagstaff but that is about it. Any units overrun with these critters that someone would be willing to share with me? Habits, locations, food,do they need to water daily? I really think they could make a sweet looking mount. Any info would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcdinaz Report post Posted November 3, 2015 Same here our group used to run into them in 32. I actually want one as well, full mount so I can have it perched on a mantle in the cabin. I have just never had the opportunity to even take a shot at one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick351 Report post Posted November 3, 2015 I know of a few spots that have them. I've shot two now with my bow. They are cool little critters but expensive to mount. $1000 + depending on who you call or what you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shooter McGavin Report post Posted November 3, 2015 Ton of them in unit 33, milepost 15.5 on Reddington Rd. Just follow the wash west and when you start to get to some pretty big trees look up and around. Killed one there about 3 yrs ago. Also, off of Ruby Rd between town of Ruby and Pena Blanca Lake, both sides of the road in the mountains. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StraightTequilaNight Report post Posted November 3, 2015 They are all over southeastern AZ. They tend to run in packs of 2 - 20. They are concentrated in the canyons and riparian areas. They feed on nuts, berries, insects & small mammals. Once the leaves are on the ground, just hike slowly through the canyons listening for a lot of raucous in the leaf litter. They dig through the fallen, dead leaves looking for food. If you do see a pack of them, you can run right at them and they will "tree" themselves. Given the chance, they will slip away, but their first instinct when threatened is to head straight up the nearest tree. Lots of them on Mt. Graham (Unit 31, south of Safford). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted November 4, 2015 Smoked one when I was 17, at 275 yards none the less. Only one I have ever seen. We left it cause one leg was taken off. I have regretted it ever since, but I was 17, how was I supposed to know that I wouldn't see one again in the next 15 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
