Long time coyote caller from southwest Idaho. I will be visiting the in-laws in Mesa AZ over Christmas week (21st thru 28th), first time down there in 5 years. I hope to be able to get in 1 or 2 days of predator therapy in order to preserve my sanity, my in-laws are great and all but their preferred form of recreation and entertainment is watching movie after movie after movie from noon to 3am then sleep until noon and start over again. My soul struggles to appreciate the art of other people pretending to be other people for that sort of duration of time. LOL.

In this season of giving and charity I hope that someone here might be willing to share with me some decent spots to make stands, or at least point me in a decent direction. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

My out of state hunting license is good 12/23/2019 thru 12/27/2019.
 
NW of Pheonix in a triangle of Buckeye, Aguila and Wickenburg I hunted for a few days, I camped out near the Vulture Mine. there is a mix if BLM and private land there, be sure you know which is which. There are cayotes and bobcat in there.

Just south of Mesa in a quad of Florence, Catalina, Marana and Eloy has produced coyotes for me. There looked like there could be some decent hunting east of Florence. I stayed in an RV park there and there were coyote howling out that way.

The big problem is knowing Public from private lands as they are intermixed. Just about any public land around there can have coyotes on it.

It is a bit of a drive but the area north of Wenden to Alamo lake is pretty country.

I hunted this area the two years we held the convention in Tucson. I hunted my way south through AZ on my way to the convention spending the week before the convention hunting north to the NV border and during the convention south of Tucson to the border. Then back north and hunted with my nephew in NV for a couple days he had off. Got him hooked now he is a regular at the convention and we spend the week before the convention hunting.

Good luck and shoot straight.

Thanks for the help. That give me a good start on areas to map study for the next couple weeks. I have onX maps for all of Arizona. I'll probably play it safe and do must best to stay off private land. But good to know about the properly posted requirements.
