PRDATR Report post Posted November 2, 2012 Sorry you didn't fill your tag but thats the way it goes sometimes, even in the Units that have high deer densities. You can start by looking at Units that have high amounts of tags and also look at hunter success for the different hunts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azgutpile Report post Posted November 2, 2012 Let me guess...You we're putting in for a mule deer tag and then recieved the coues tag on accident, and now you are addicted to coues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cardawg Report post Posted November 3, 2012 Gutpile,you called it right,was intending to apply for a Mule deer tag and checked the wrong spot on the application,saw lots of Elk and Mule deer on that hunt including some nice Mule deer bucks,but no Coues.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted November 3, 2012 Lots of deer in the southern units (36 A, B and C) and lots of left over tags down there, but you have to be willing to put up with the illegal immigration problem. Units 29 and 32 are nice too. Check out the statistics for the units in the Hunt Arizona book put out by AGFD, they have a downloadable PDF on their website.

FirstBlood Report post Posted November 3, 2012 Bro you are fine in that unit for whiteys..Hunt the plateau ridges of sycamore caynon..."MONSTERS" in there.. rough country steep as it gets but those grey ghosts love it...they will bed on those steep ridges and feed on the flats just above them..stay patient...make sure you have a whitetail in your crosshairs and not a ropetail cause there is lot of both in there....and alot of bear...so if if you smell somthing not right better put your head on a swivel....if nothing else there are some of the best views from that rim that is for sure so bring a camera.....So good luck, dont stress and enjoy yourself....
