Unit 23 is one of the most popular deer units in the state and it is close to Phoenix. It is also pretty warm that time of year. I think many archery hunters head up to higher elevation to try and escape the heat. One of the most used techniques for the August hunt is sitting water so tanks...
The rifle tag should be for either Coues or Muley. The archery tag in Jan will be good for both. Did he draw the Oct hunt or the December? They have both Coues and Muley December hunts in that unit. The Oct coues hunt is pretty easy to draw. It took me 5 years to draw my last December Coues...
Maybe it was a poor choice of words but I have seen them rutting from Mid December through the middle of Jan. I've noticed the further South you get the later it seems to be. In any case, good luck to you guys.
FYI. The Az fall draw results are up
I saw that Predator's website that they came out with the Adrenaline series. Has anyone seen these in person? What were your impressions? I can't find much on the net about them.
I will ask around. I picked up a resource guide from CEI outdoors last year. They list everything under the sun and if I remember correctly, they also had packers. Have you been to 6A before? I only ask because there are a lot of roads throughout that unit some of which are legal to drive on...
