Hunt info for 34B

pinwheel1788 · Jul 27, 2005

I am looking for any info available in 34B. I drew an October tag. I have never hunted the unit. I am willing to pay for good information and would entertain the idea of paying for a guide if anyone that knows the unit is interested. My goals are to harvest a nice 3 point. I would like an 80 inch buck but will not pass on a symetrical 3 point.

If you are interested please give me a call at 480-980-4912. Serious callers only.

Thanks.

Heres a buck I took from 34B a few years ago. Saw him on opening day and passed on him. Then took him 6 days later after being unable to find anything better. A real good friend of mine who is a much better hunter was not able to get one as good as this one. Also, a year later, some other friends who are also much better hunters could not find any bucks to their liking. They did not harvest that year. Can be a tough hunt. Some of my friends have the same hunt you do this year. Maybe you will run into them. CB

Man how could you pass on that. That is a beauty. I have hunted quail in 34b but only in the flats and have only seen mule deer.

ASUCoues · Aug 16, 2005

I was down in the flats when I glassed him and had to hump it up the mountain for 45 minutes before getting to within 325 yards for a shot. He was pretty much at the top. Notice the elevation differential in the pic. CB

I see what you mean you had to climb quite a bit. That is a beautiful deer you got there.

Thanks. It is the last one I have taken. I got skunked in AZ this year. Missed my shot last year and was skunked in AZ the year before. Wish I could go back 25 years and be able to hunt Coues when Dec tags were over the counter and good for the whole state. CB

I remember in the early 80's my stepfather and I would get leftover tags for coues deer. We had 2 deer tags apiece. It was great! Between the both of us, we had 4 deer tags. We hunted in unit 35b by Patagonia.

35b is a tough hunt in my mind because of how steep and thick the terrain is. I hunt down there for mearns and have found some decent sheds and seen a few deer but it is to thick for me.
