AZ Archery Deer by way of S Utah

[MuleyFever]

Just putting some feelers out. I live in S. Utah and would like to start hunting AZ OTC archery deer. I figure I am buying a license every year why not buy a tag and hunt. I want to stay in the northern part because it is closer to home. Nothing south of Flagstaff. Wondering if there would be any interest from someone in teaming up. I would rather do this as a couple long weekends than a week straight. Going out on a limb but the week of Christmas would be the best time for me to make 2 back to back long weekends. Again just asking as a maybe. It would be more last minute than a long term plan.

Do you have a particular unit picked out?

If you haven't already, check to see what units are open for over the counter archery deer in December. Not too many that I can think of north of Flagstaff. Maybe unit 9? Even that may be Jan only. There is a good table in the regs showing what units are open when, I think on page 41 or 42.

I was looking at last years regs, I have not gotten a new one. I was hoping they would send me one. Dec 14 - Jan 31 was units 10, 15, 17, 18, 19. I know some are south of Flagstaff but they're close enough. I do not have one picked. I have not done much research. Talked to the biologist in 10 but that's it.
