JLindland83 Report post Posted July 9, 2019 Hello everyone, I’m a long time upland and waterfowl hunter (approx 10 years) who just got drawn for my first whitetail rifle tag in 24B this year. I have little to no experience with big game hunting. Does anyone know of a reputable guide that operates in 24B? I have decent backpacking and mountaineering experience (I work in the outdoor industry) and have reasonable fitness. I also shoot regularly with my rifle on the target range. I’m just looking to learn the ropes and gain some knowledge so I can start being more self sufficient in this discipline. I’ve thought about doing a solo DIY hunt too, but felt that one season with a guide would be more beneficial. Thanks in advance! Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowNut Report post Posted July 9, 2019 https://www.couesazguideservice.com/ These are your guys. They live, guide and hunt that unit. Could be an interesting hunt since over 100,000 acres of it just burned up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted July 9, 2019 Jim, I don't know 24B, but I would be willing to talk with you or take you out a few times to show you how to hunt. A few scouting trips with a couple of experienced hunters will give you plenty of knowledge to be able to hunt on your own. There is nothing wrong with going on a guided hunt, but it's expensive! You can gain similar experience during scouting/hunting with normal guys. There's also LOTS of YouTube video's that give you plenty of information on how to start hunting in Arizona!!! If your interested PM me. Adam 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted July 9, 2019 Anybody that fishes for cats is a normal guy. 24b experienced hunters not so much. This year should be a piece of cake, look in the burned areas. And, look down for GOLD. 😆 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idgaf Report post Posted July 9, 2019 From my experience with hunting after fires (chediski and wallow). Whoever has a 24b tag will see bucks that I never knew existed in the unit 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZHOUND Report post Posted July 11, 2019 I’m excited to see what the fire did to 24b a lot of it was overgrown and super thick. Have high hopes it will be a good tag this year if not the next few should be great with new growth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
