Yup, got it! I looked them up. Thanks!

Does anyone know what the 2024 coues deer rifle season dates will be this year off the top of their head?

247 is correct, the ethics course is for adults only. You could have your kid take another states test and get certified but would not be able to take the AZ ethics course and receive their bonus point till they are 18.

I was under the impression that by law kids under a certain age (14) or so had to be seen shooting live rounds and safe gun handling in order to receive a hunters safety certificate?
-
Well that’s too late now. Using the “locate hunters ed field day” they never even showed this class. Probably because it was a in person full class and she’s already done the online portion? I would have still done this class more than likely to get it taken care of.

My last daughter I had take the field day took me 14 months to get her in! I had to call and complain and they got her into a class because she was a non resident and resident kids were priority even though once we attended the class there were several adults attending getting their bonus points.

Anyone heard of any possible field day classes planned for central/northern AZ coming up anytime soon? I’ve been trying to get my 9yo into a class and check every Tuesday at 9am and there has not been one class offered yet for central or northern AZ, everything has been in the southern part of the state.

Great deal! Someone should jump on this one.

Are coues deer in trouble?
zslayer replied to firstcoueswas80's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
It was a very tough year with the exception of October it sounds like. I’ve heard multiple reports from people on the October hunt talking about how great the movement was. I also think we are low on the typical 3yo deer from the 2020 drought year. I remember noticing a very low fawn population in 2020 and saying to myself we are gonna notice this in a few years! What also hurts with low numbers of your branch antler deer is it seems a lot of spikes were shot this year and that’s not gonna help for the future. so I would say I don’t think the population is dwindling but I do think there is a gap in age class. I also believe these deer are masters at survival and maybe with the dry year and lack of water they held up more to conserve and not have to frequent water as much where they were more vulnerable. But that’s just some of my thoughts 🤷🏼♂️ -
Do not have to be 10 by range day anymore if that was the case. You can take hunters safety at 9 and compete at 9 (range day). Only requirement is to turn 10 prior to start of hunt you’re applying for.
-
She can complete the hunters safety at 9 and also enter the draw at 9 with hunters safety certificate as long as she turns 10 before the start of the hunt.

Yeah I think it is daily just curious if it’s at a specific time or not.
-
And I thought it was daily haha. Maybe it is weekly?
-
Does anyone know when the threshold list is updated? I’m sure every day? But is there a specific time? Or do they do it throughout the day at random times?
-
You can watch the quotas and pretty much determine where the mule deer are rutting haha. Coues in the southern units I’m sure will be end of January for good rut action like always. Could be interesting though to see happens after this next wave of storms does with the last one also being a cold one.
