1,6A,10

just wonder peoples thoughts on these units quality wise for elk of course

1 is one of the best units in the state for elk, 10 is right up there as well probably worse than unit 1 and then 6a is down towards the bottom. Lots of elk but not a lot of very big ones in 6a.

does tail end / post rut make it much harder

 

[bonecollector777]

Yes the post rut hunts are very tough even in the good units. Most Bulls head for nasty canyons to be alone for the winter. Find those canyons or lower elevation flats and glass glass glass. Only way I know how to hunt them during that time. There is usually too much water to sit a pond and have success but it's been done. A lot of guys have success by glassing them and getting into position.

thanks im disabled and was thinking of appying for those

Look into getting a Champ permit for AZ. It will allow you to hunt from and shoot from your vehicle. Also there are hunts set aside for these Champ permit holders.

 

[bonecollector777]

This is a good idea for sure. If you qualify for the champ permit do it. There are some great hunts in great units with the champ permit and pretty decent odds.

Well for those that think that Unit 6A is not a good unit, here is my 2010 muzzleloader bull.

Lots of elk, but if you want a big one, you can't take the small ones..

I've hunted a good number of hunters there and all of them will tell you they would like to come back, especially for the archery hunt.
