AI Scout Preview

AZ 43A — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access AZ 43A spans 602,600 acres across dramatic elevation—from low desert scrub at 209 feet to high-elevation terrain above 3,270 feet. With 96% public land, the unit offers exceptional access for unguided hunters. Most terrain is managed public property, eliminating permission issues that plague many bighorn units in the Southwest. Herd Quality Recent surveys document a 66:100 buck:doe ratio—a strong indicator of healthy ram recruitment and sustainable population structure. However, surveys averaged only 52 animals observed, so this ratio reflects limited field sampling and may not capture the full unit..
