BigWaveDave Report post Posted October 10, 2014 Hi guys and gals, I am a recent transplant to Arizona. Hunted before out east, never here in AZ. Getting a new bow next month and applied for spring turkey. Going to apply for Elk in the spring and highly doubt it will pan out, but who knows. I have been looking at unit 27 and applied for Turkey there and hope to scout and spot some Elk. Does anyone have any info on the Ft Huachuca and Camp Navajo areas? I do have access and if anyone has hunted either basic information will work. I have ridden the FSR in 33 and 34A and seen a few Mule Deer. I guess that sums up the choppy introduction... Thanks Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kidso Report post Posted October 10, 2014 You need to apply now for archery javelina. The deadline is in 3 or 4 days! That is an Arizona specialty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigWaveDave Report post Posted October 10, 2014 Which unit for javelina? Any of them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted October 11, 2014 If you live in Tucson, any of the 36's, 33, 34a, or b, and the area around red rock? All hold good javi and are close to home. Where in Tucson are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m77 Report post Posted October 11, 2014 There maybe some leftover tags for whitetail on Fort Huachuca. Call AZG&F and inquire. Ask about Unit 35A Fort Huachuca hunts. Also contact the Sportsmen Center on Fort Huachuca, 520-533-7085. Or Mr. Sheridan Stone, 520-533-7083. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capoeirajosh Report post Posted October 11, 2014 Good luck on your scouting/hunting endeavors. I have heard great things about 27. Never hunted there myself. I agreed with kidso about the archery javi hunts!! Go apply! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigWaveDave Report post Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks guys... I applied for 34A/B, 33 36 for Javelina. Will call those people the week after next, I'm TDY all next week. Thanks for that info! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattys281 Report post Posted October 11, 2014 I like hunting javelina but theres nothing I like more than archery deer in january and dont like javelina to interfere with it. Theres plenty of areas where you can hunt both at the same time, but my favorite jan deer spot holds zero javelina so I've been putting in for the handgun-archery-muzzleloader (HAM) hunts the last couple years. They run in February after deer season has closed. Its a little harder to get tags for those hunts but if you fail to draw one there are several units that always have leftover tags for the archery season that you can fall back on. Its a good strategy to try to get yourself an extra two weeks of hunting in February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigWaveDave Report post Posted October 11, 2014 That makes sense... Most of the rules and regs are convoluted here. I'm trying to wrap my head around some of them and draw dates..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
