Hey guys, I was recommended this forum from a gentleman on archerytalk so I figured I would give it a shot. I was just wondering if someone could point me in a direction for bow hunting some Az mule deer. I was recently planning a SD diy mule deer hunt for 2017 and on several forums people had said look at AZ for OTC tags. Well, I will be getting back from deployment relatively soon, then headed home to WI to hunt the rut for a month, and returning to California. The 2 areas I have been looking at are Unit 17B and 20A. Can any one steer me in a direction or steer me away if its a waste? Im not looking for a giant, Id just like to try and harvest my first Mule deer. I have a spotting scope and binos (im not sure if they're good enough though), and I am more than willing to put some miles on to see some deer. To be honest I dont even care if I harvest anything, Id just like to see some deer and have an opportunity to put my first stalk on. I haven't bow hunted since 2012 so i'm trying to make up for lost time in the outdoors. The reason I like 17B is because its open in december as well, and I was looking just north of the skull valley area. I was also looking at the big bug or crooks canyon in 20A. I plan to go during Christmas because we will have 3 or 4 days off for Christmas and another few days for new years. So I should have around 7 or 8 days total to hunt, maybe another weekend or 2 in late Jan. Any advice would be very welcomed or appreciated. Thanks for any help and taking the time to read my post.
