Who's going to Arizona?

Post by BOHNTR » Fri Dec 01, 2006 10:52 pm

It's getting close to that time of year when the desert muleys start chasing the does. Anyone heading down to Arizona for the archery rut hunt coming up? I'll be leaving New Years Eve for a two week hunt.

Here's a few photos of some smaller bucks to stoke up the ol' bowhunting fire.

Probly be lots of hunters in Jan because javelina overlaps the archery deer. Hard to find a good area to hunt, once you find and scout one out you are in business.

Thanks guys/gals....glad you enjoyed the photos.

Killerbee:

I don't see a lot of pressure where I hunt in the desert. I've found that if you hunt away from the more populated areas of Arizona (Phoenix & Tucson), you'll find far less people and a fair amount of deer.

Arizona deer tags are over-the-counter for archery and are good for either coues or mule deer. Where I hunt, I see both. I just can't seem to close the deal on one of those wiley coues....they're tuff!
