Where Unit 32 lies

Unit 32 covers 1,534 square miles on the AZGFD Game Management Unit layer and is run by AZGFD Region V (Tucson). Cochise County holds 45% of it.

Hunters in Unit 32 can be standing in any of 4 counties, led by Cochise with 689 square miles. The Pima piece is under 2% of the unit, the kind of sliver a boundary road leaves on a map.

County	Sq mi in unit	Share of unit	Share of county
Cochise County	688.7	45%	11%
Graham County	593.2	39%	13%
Pinal County	237.0	15%	4%
Pima County	16.7	1%	0.2%

Expect BLM, Game & Fish, National Forest, Private and State Trust Land land when you study the Unit 32 map. Coronado National Forest covers part of the unit. There is no military property in this unit on the layer.

Species named on the AZGFD layer for Unit 32: Pronghorn Antelope, Black Bear, Javelina, Mule Deer, White-tailed Deer, Elk, Cottontail Rabbit, Dove and Quail. Treat it as a guide; the Commission Order rows set the seasons.
