BIGBUGPETE Report post Posted August 8, 2008 Hey everyone im brand new to the board and i am glad to be a member. I love hunting Coues Whitetail!! So i had a question for you guys. Im going to put in for the leftover whitetail tags in AZ of course and i have been trying to decide over 36A or 36B for the last month. From personal experience or what you kno, what unit would be better to hunt in late NOV. Or maybe what unit has more deer. Ill find the deer as long as there in the mtns lol. Help me out guys!! Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbyo Report post Posted August 8, 2008 In my opinion both units are equally good and I would be happy with either one. I do believe that both units issue too many tags over the three early hunts, but hey thats why there are leftovers and its all about opportunity. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGBUGPETE Report post Posted August 15, 2008 Well thanks vegasjeep i would love to see the unit! I actually put in for the 36b late nov tag so hopefully i pull it. If i do then maybe we can hunt together. Just an option u know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgenoto Report post Posted August 22, 2008 I prefer 36A and will be there for the Nov 28th Hunt My reasoning is actually not related to population. There is a lot less foot traffic. I have had a couple close calls in 36B if you know what I mean. Generally the hunters in 36a are coming off of Arivaca Rd. If you come in from another area its generally kinda of quiet. Anybody want to hook up let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying your friend didn't do as he says, but Ed Stockwell was a friend and I can't imagine anyone teaching him "about hunting." His bee-keeping business kept him outdoors in some of Arizona's best whitetail country year around, and in the last years of his life he was one of our state's better hunting guides.

Bill Quimby I am related to and hunt with all the schaffners. I should have said did as old man Schaffner has passed as well. The middle brother Richard is my best friend. As you roll in to Arivaca that had the big acre lot house on the left for YEARS. lots of pics of the Schaffners up in the Arivaca. The middle brother Richard worked for ed for years as well working all his bees. Kim poolen also learned to hunt with the Schaffners. I think his deer is now number 5-6 not sure, it was number 2-3 but has slipped over the years. His deer was a complete accident. We have a house off 3rd st in Arivaca now and one of us is there every weekend this time of year. If you guys want to know about hunting these guys have tons of stories between the 3 schaffner brothers who all lived in arivaca from the time they were born till they were well out of high school. Frank the youngest boy lives by the longbranch now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
