AZ Bighorn Sheep Unit 23

AZ 23 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access AZ 23 spans 2,098–7,921 ft of elevation across 758,159 acres of entirely public land, offering substantial room to glass and move without access friction. The 10% wilderness component is modest and does not constrain nonresident hunting. Lower-country desert transitions to mid-elevation pinyon-juniper and higher mixed-conifer zones, supporting diverse habitat structure. Elevation spread permits pursuit across multiple ecological bands in a single hunt. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys indicate an unusually high buck:doe ratio (77:100), but with only ~69 animals observed per survey, this figure likely reflects a small sample..
