Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Does anyone have a link to the regs where it says you must be in your unit to pull the trigger? Thanks. I would like to see that too! I know there's some nice canyon creeks that act as the border for two units. I believe the actual border would be center of the creek bed but i could be wrong. It would be nice if I could glass the side of the canyon that is in my unit while sitting in the other unit and be able to pull the trigger. One year we followed bugles into one of these canyons and caught up to a bull standing in the middle of a creek that was a border. Would that bull have been legal to shoot? We were going from Diamond Rock south towards Buffalo Crossing headed to a spot we had seen turkey in 27. We see a tom strutting with some hens across the black river, pull over and watch for a second. Cole wants to shoot and I said, "You know what unit we are in?" He said I think unit 1......I said, "If you want to shoot that turkey you are going to have to find a crossing spot and go put a stalk on otherwise we are trucking it on down the road!" We found a crossing spot further down the river, went across and tried to get that tom's attention but did a great job of pushing him up a steep ridge. Gotta be in the unit you are pulling the trigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoghntr Report post Posted September 7, 2016 So instead of "what unit were you hunting" now game and fish gotta ask what unit did you shoot from and walk to and gut it in. ? oh and if in areas like Coconino with designated campsites "what unit are you camped in" while hunting beside where you will be shooting to and gutting in and walking to or from Okay that's all too confusing I'll stick to shooting from the unit I'm hunting in. But seriously in areas like 11m and 6a I was hunting in the area at 11m we're guys that had 6a tags were camped in 11 m because there was no designated camp areas in the edge of 6a where they wanted to hunt and I'm just wondering how Game and Fish officers feel when there's an animal hanging in your camp with a tag from the unit next door???

520HUNT Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Seeing that I haven't run into a Game Warden in 15 years, I wouldn't worry about it! I spend 100+ days a year in the field and a game and fish officer is rarer than a albino deer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We hunt deer along the road that splits two units and will usually camp in the unit we aren't hunting (about 50 yards from our unit) We have had G&F check us a couple times with out a problem so far. We always tell them before they look at our tags that we are hunting the other side of the road and just camping here so they know we understand where the boundary is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
