At a Glance
Known for Fort Huachuca and the Huachuca Mountains that rise in its center, this unit borders Mexico and is just west of Tombstone. Desert mule deer hunters are restricted to archery gear and muzzleloaders, while Coues deer hunters may select between archery and four rifle seasons.
Coues deer enthusiasts know the Huachuca Mountains as a great place to hunt big Coues deer. Part of the range is in Fort Huachuca, where only military personnel may hunt. There is no rifle mule deer season; there is only archery and muzzleloader. No antelope tags have been issued outside the military base in recent years.
