Kamil,
Late Oct. here in southern AZ is still fairly warm and you should bring light weight clothing but as all ways come prepared for rain and cooler weather. Are you going to be using a guide service? If so then they can really tell you what type of camo works best for that region. You can also get lots of information form the AZGFD at their web site WWW.AZGFD.com and there is a local site that you can go to that may be of some help try WWW.AZOD.com and go into the forum/chat area. I’ll try and get some more info on terrain and camo that works best in that area and post it here for you.
Good luck…
PS: Google this and you will get lots of info as well "arizona hunting unit 36b"

edit: forgot to mention when I was hunting there last year it was the same time your hunt is 3rd week of october. the weather can be different each year but when I was there we were having 90 degree weather during the day light hours then at night it was getting down below freezing I recall looking at the thermometer on my camper one night and it was 25 degrees. so Id take some light clothes for the day and some warm stuff for night.
Edit: excuse me I just remembered I hunted 36A which is just north of 36B but you will likely run into the same BS I did if not wourse.. that close to the border forget the 270 or 30-06 you would probably be better off with a AK-47 instead. you will deffinately see illegals.

Remember the department of Home Land Security can not and will not Guarentee you safty that close to the border. I had friends down there last year and every day the saw groups of Mex's comming up. You need to be prepared for looong shots and saftyy risks. The people you encounter down there will not be friendly. They found two pistols down there on thier hunt that had been discarded. GOOD LUCK and be CAREFUL!!!!!!!

RE: Goin hunting in AZ
I've hunted aeas just north of there and my best reccomendation would be a good pair of binos, and a tripod. I also found that hunting all day (not just mornings and evenings) will yeild many more animals. Something that is minor but I found makes alot of difference is to bring something soft to sit on. If you are glassing for long periods of time it takes a toll on your backside!!!!!!
Good luck, and most of all have fun.
