Post by: NWWA Hunter on July 19, 2011, 01:15:00 PM: Thanks! 3 points going into the draw. My dad drew 2 years ago with 1 point. I guess it's better to be lucky than good.

Post by: Bean Counter on July 19, 2011, 01:38:12 PM: NWWA! Right on! While I'm originally from WA, I'm down here in AZ. I got drawn for a Unit 36 tag (Coues Deer).

Thanks for posting--I'd been checking the last few days and decided to lay off a bit and give their servers a break :P

Post by: NWWA Hunter on July 19, 2011, 02:03:07 PM: My dad passed some in the 180s and missed 2 offhand shots at running monsters. Nice on the coues! I would like to do that some day. My dads friend shot one archery last year and I think it was in the 130's.

Post by: NWWA Hunter on July 20, 2011, 10:42:51 PM: I agree that I drew too many good hunts but better to have a tag than not. Fortunately I or my dad have hunted three of the areas with success so that helps a lot but still gonna be tough. I hoped for two hunts but never expected so many with low draw odds. Will try my best. Thanks!

36 A,B or C? which hunt? Oct, Nov, or Dec? Be VERY CAREFUL, a lot of Border Patrol in those units, and a lot of Illegal Immigrants wandering around. Great units for Coues!!

Only new Mexico second season elk and Arizona deer overlap. I am thinking that since I already have two other elk hunts and with what my dad says from his hunt I will probably concentrate on Arizona and if I see what I want early then head to new Mexico. If not I will have to eat the tag but I really think the high end potential for a trophy is better for the deer than the elk.

36B--the one closest to la linea. Its the early hunt. We'll both have handguns in addition to our rifles. Lots of bandits and smugglers, too. This unit covers the area where BPA Brian Terry was gunned down last December. May he rest in peace.

The BP are analogous to loggers in the PNW--out in the wilderness all the time, and they sure do know where the deer are! The only thing I plan on smuggling are the best antlers out of the area!
