Late season arizona archery hunt

[tooele]

So I moved to Arizona 1.5 yrs ago and I finally ran into a guy who knows what he is doing here is AZ. He invited me to head down to the mexican border and hunt Muleys. It was a lot of fun. In 1 day we saw well over 80 mule deer in country that doesn't look like it would hold a snake let alone a muley. We saw one nice buck, that was harvested around 25-26 inch spread. No real toads, but for 1 day of hunting it was a blast. We are heading down again next weekend hopefully some of the real big boys will come out. I never would have believed I'd be hunting muleys in January. Happy hunting

It's amazing isn't it. I went out a couple weeks ago and saw at least 20 to 30 deer. The bucks weren't running with the does yet. I put a stalk on a decent buck but lost him in a wash and he slipped away. Had a friend on the ridge watching trying to give me hand signals. Guess he was waving like crazy when I got within 20 yds of the buck and he was bedded down still. Hopefully this weekend will be better.

I believe I was 20-25 miles north of the mexican border. It was amazing that these deer were in this terrain. The one larger buck was trying to mount a doe. We also saw 4 Coues deer, 1 buck.
