Buckhunter Report post Posted September 16, 2007 Hey Tim gets some binos and a spotting scope. Head up a dirt road. pull off and walk up a hill and sit down and glass untill your eyes burn. Thats the only way to find out where the deer are. Nobody in here will give up a deer spot. Its the competition nobody wants. Good Luck. Hope I don't sound rude, but thats what everyone is thinking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been hunting 34 B the last few years and between drought and the fire a couple of years back it has been real tough. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ac guy Report post Posted September 17, 2007 Hunt success from 19 to 26% last year. Regs, G&F website and this site has info on where to hunt, success rates and deer distribution throughout the state. Why did you put in for a unit you know nothing about. Do some research before picking units, makes hunting easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks If you liked hunting down there you might not like 23.... way rougher to hunt and a LOT less deer. Besides... all the best spots are all hunted out now.

Don't know about Tim but some of us aren't lucky enough to get drawn for any of our first five choices, so we get stuck putting in for the leftover tags in units we know nothing about SO WE CAN GO HUNTING!! I don't see anything wrong with that! Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see anything wrong with that! Dave Dude!!! You don't draw unit 23 by accident.... or after 1st & 2nd Choice!!! That would be like drawing a Dec. tag on 3rd choice..... You were not serious...... I hope.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted September 21, 2007 Tim, The ADA is having a youth camp in unit 23 this Oct 5-7. This would be a good chance to talk with some other hunters and meet the WM, not to mention helping a worthy cause. http://azdeer.org/unit_23_2007.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhunter4life Report post Posted September 21, 2007 23 is only a good unit if you put the time in. it is some rough country. be prepared for miles of glassing and hicking,anywere east of the big lake is a good start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
