I am from Eastern Arizona, the White Mountains. My front yard has an elevation of 7019 feet. Arizona is known for having the largest stand of Ponderosa pine forest in North America. Well at least we did two years ago before the Rodeo/Chedeski fire went through and burned 468,638 acres of our forest.
To the north are grass lands mixed with cedars with rolling hills and small canyons that drop down to 5600 feet . This is pronghorn country. it also has coyotes, crows, foxes, great prairie dog villages and mountain lions.
To the South are pine forests with mountains up to 11000 feet. This is elk country, it also has coyotes and deer.
To the East are cedars, pinion trees and black mesas with small canyons. This is coyote country, it also has crow and feral pigs.
To the west are grass lands that go up to a pine forest with hills in elevation of 10000 feet. This is also pronghorn country, it also has elk, deer, coyote, and bobcats.
Although my Dad used to varmint hunt a lot I did not get excited about it until recently. So far I have mostly shot prairie dogs. I am just starting to get into coyote calling. It looks to be a fun sport. Thank you all for all of your help so far.
