Arizona Solunar Calendar — July 2026

The July 2026 solunar calendar for Arizona covers every day of the month, with the major and minor deer movement windows, moon phase, and a fused 0–100 hunt score computed for the state's geographic center (33.73°N, 111.43°W, Mountain Time (no DST)). The month moves through the Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent, New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous and Full Moon phases, and the table below shows when each window opens and closes for that location. Whitetail rut peak in Arizona is mid-December (Coues whitetail), so the days closest to that window are the ones to flag early. Archery is open August – December (multiple hunts), firearm October – December (draw) for hunters in the field. Desert Southwest cover is Sonoran desert, sky-island sky mountains, and high-elevation ponderosa pine, which shifts the value of a strong major window — wind in big timber moves scent differently than wind across open ag, and the solunar overlay is most useful when read against that terrain context.

How to read the Arizona calendar

Major windows

Major periods cluster around moon overhead and moon underfoot — roughly two-hour windows when historical solunar theory predicts the strongest wildlife movement. In Arizona, the majors that land on a falling barometer with a cold front are the ones to plan a sit around.

Minor windows

Minor periods sit at moonrise and moonset — roughly one-hour windows of secondary activity. In dense desert southwest cover, minors that overlap legal-light dawn or dusk are often a stronger sit than a midday major. Read minors against your stand pin and the wind.

The fused score

The 0–100 score is not just solunar — it blends temperature, pressure trend, wind speed, cloud cover, and moon phase into a single daily number for the Arizona centroid. A 75+ day means the variables all line up; a 35 day means at least one of them is fighting you.
