Allforelk Report post Posted February 26, 2019 December? Are you sure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasinTail503 Report post Posted February 26, 2019 fairly sure. not sure i can go in august. gotta wait to see what i draw first. why do you ask Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allforelk Report post Posted February 26, 2019 The whole draw thing had me confused as to the fact it hasn’t even happened yet. Welcome to the site. If you are hunting “archery only”, take a look at the regs. Deer draw is almost upon us and best of luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been looking at a few different units. 23/22. maybe down south in 36a. not to sure. probably hit up a few different areas while I'm there. i want to explore the wilderness in 23 but was sure how much snow y'all get.

wildwoody Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Arizona is a great state to hunt. Archery is a little tougher then most states but doable, you have mule deer and whitetail. If your gonna do December , try and make it late so hopefully you'll catch the beginning of the rut. Lots of topics here in the archives will give you all the info you could ever want.

AZAV8ER Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Several wilderness areas in 23 Sierra Ancha Wilderness up hi and a couple wilderness on the west side a little lower. You could run into rain and a very off chance of snow that time of year. Then it could also be warmish just don't know till its gets there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasinTail503 Report post Posted February 26, 2019 yeah i was hoping to hunt the wilderness areas, but figured i could do all the internet scouting i want but won't know till i get there. ill be packing for a hike in trip and also have stuff for a bigger camp. keeping my options open with a few different plans 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Are you going after Coues or Mule deer? Where in AZ does your buddy live? Are you familiar with glassing with a tripod? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasinTail503 Report post Posted February 26, 2019 going after both. my buddy really wants a Couse. and for me i don't really care. he doesn't live there now, i just texted him and asked what town he did live in. i can't remember. and yes glassing with a tripod is what I'm use to doing.
