CalebFortner Report post Posted July 27, 2012 So this will be my first year hunting alone, as I usually have my buddy who is an experienced hunter come along with me. He has taught me a lot, and I feel pretty confident in the hunt, but I got drawn for a unit I have not experienced yet. My father in law, who hasn't put in since they began requiring SSN in the app, put in with me. We looked over all the specs, and decided that unit 22 would be a good on. Welp, it turns out he thought I knew it and I thought he knew it. Long story short, if anyone has any information that would be helpful on the unit, it would be greatly appreciated. I have read what can be said about it on AZGFD's website, and that is a good starting point I guess. But any advice or places you think would have less traffic etc. would be nice. I am not looking for your favorite spots or anything, just any good general information of the area. Also, if you could direct me to where I find a good topo map of the unit I'd appreciate it. I will be going scouting as soon as bear season starts all the way until early Nov. Thanks guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcdinaz Report post Posted July 28, 2012 Maps: Forestry service maps, Google earth for satellite maps, and Google Maps & Bing Maps for topo's. It is not too much work to print them out by section and tape them together. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jelf Report post Posted July 28, 2012 You can see an online topo map for a random spot in Unit 22. This location is a bit SW of Payson: http://www.mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4.php?ll=34.188351,-111.43109&t=t4&z=15&hillshade=18 Just drag the map around to see the rest of the unit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
