David, thanks for the post about 6a. I just moved to Austin,TX from NC. I am planning a 3-4 day scouting trip in early August, to Sedona w/ the family maybe mixing in a grand canyon visit. I have never been to 6a. I know 3a/3c a little from my antelope hunt in 3a last year & helping a buddy on his Mulie hunt in 3c. He was going to help me w/ 6a, but he drew 4b, so I am guessing I am on my own. Any places you recommend that you don't mind sharing for me to start my scouting? I am not a road hunter, have a strong back and legs, so hiking in and packing out an elk does not worry me. My 25 year brother will be with me as we'll. I've been doing some scouting on google earth in the sw portion of the unit. Are all those roads I see in good shape? after a rain? Are most of those water tanks on the maps full and used? I plan to call my buddy in Az thus weekend to get his input as well as talk to the wardens soon. Appreciate any encouraging words. Cheers, Jesse aka NCArchery
