That will work. But just get a gps device. Tons of BLM land to look at. Often land owners post no trespassing signs but at times, between the private land sections are sections of public land that you would never know were there unless you have a device. Then start walking!
Just giving you my experience.
My favorite spot is on a road where no trespassing signs show up every maybe 200 yards. Looking at my gps as I drove down the road, I see that a corner of public land comes down to and crosses the road. As I walked into the section, which has a long ridge hiding my truck, I realize I would never have found that honey hole without the gps. There are no signs showing the public sections. You have to find them.

 

Good evening Everyone, I know everyone is tired of seeing posts about Coyote and Bobcat hunting.

I am new to Hunting Unit 16A, does anyone have any recommendations where some good spots to scout would be?

Also, is there any areas that I can not bring my dogs to join the hunt? I know some areas and some times of the year, you are not allowed to use dogs.

I have a 4x4 midsize truck, and don't mind hiking 10 miles a day.

Thank you for your recommendations!

Hi
I live in 16A
My advice is just find any out of the way place.
Walk at least a quarter mile from your truck.
Give it a go.
Coyotes are everywhere here like the rest of Az

 

I took the time driving out to alamo lake from chicken springs road this weekend and it seemed like there is a lot of land to explore. I am in the Dutch Flats area. I will have to get ranch passes it sounds like to hunt on some land. Maybe i am wrong i am still doing research on the area.

 

There's a drive-through gate off 93 (west side) just south of the 97 turn-off. Road is pretty good with lots of trails. I would recommend the wash that goes under 93. Javelina and other small game use it to traverse from 16A to 18B.

 

I will have to check this spot out! thank you

 

Welcome to AHF !!! I know nothing of that unit, so Im no help.

 

Pretty sure bobcat n fox is over at the end of the month too

 

It has been a long time since I have been through that area. But it contained a lot of sheep grazing. And Sheep herders HATE coyotes! They would be the ones I would ask for sightings.
As far as your dog goes be sure you can recall your dog. A pack of coyotes will sometimes lure a dog out and then the whole pack will attack. Those I have seen that use dogs spend plenty of time teaching their dog to come when called! Good Luck DR

Thank you! I have not really explored the area too much, just doing some pre-scouting. I appreciate the insider info. I have not been to any of the wilderness zones in 16A either. I'll need to read up on their rules.

Some wildlife refuges limit the use of dogs on their properties, but generally speaking, using dogs to pursue coyotes specifically is open year-round. Issues could come up if your dogs are not well trained and pursue a game animal that ISN'T in season, technically, but again, grey area.
