My First Mule Deer Hunt in Unit 9 Arizona

Hello Everyone. This is my first post and first time being drawn for Mule Deer after four years of submitting my application for the draw process.
My brother and I were drawn for Mule Deer in Unit 9 Arizona.
Any tips would be helpful. I will be introducing my son to mule deer hunting this year as well.
Our hunt is for Oct 29 thru Nov 8, 2010.
We have hunted muley's with archery before but never with rifle. Should we sit on watering hole. Any advice on Unit 9 would be helpful. Doesn't seem there's much online so I was glad to see this forum. Thanks in advance for any replies and suggestions.

I rarely see very many deer in Unit 9, and I've spent a fair amount of time in it. I have an archery elk tag in there during September this year, so I'll keep an eye open for you. Normally it seems like the further North I go in the unit, the more deer I see. Good luck!

Thanks Marvin. I'm doing a little scouting this month, actually next weekend so I'll let you know if I see any nice bulls. Thanks for the tip on the northern part. We were planning our scouting trip close to the Grand Canyon National park border so your advice works out good.
Very nice to have a bull elk archery tag. I have not yet had that priveledge to get drawn for Sept archery bull elk but I'll keep trying. Have a good week and I'll give you an elk report next week.
