Like DR said there is a lot of info in this forum, go back to page three and read SnowmanMo's posts. He hunts southern AZ a lot.
I drive through Gila Bend bypassing the traffic around Phoenix and the country looks good. All my AZ hunting has been pretty much in a band from Douglas to Kingman, no experience in the NE or SW parts of the state
So me thoughts, don't walk around through an area looking for a stand, approach an area so the wind doesn't carry your scent across the area you plan to call. Don't walk around an area looking for the perfect stand, call the first reasonable stand as you enter the area, after the stand is over then scout the area for a better stand and approach. Enter the area as silently as possible watching where you put your feet.
That country has a lot of cover so you won't find a lot of stands that you can see to the horizon. I'd personally leave the binos in the truck, don't scan with your scope.. Have your rifle ready to shoot and just scan the area slowly moving your head back and forth looking for movement, more than likely you will spot movement.before a whole coyote, fox or.cat.
Good luck to you
