I've seen that well in a video, its one area we plan to scout around.

I'm sure, I've already watched a ton of video's on the Prieta and am saying to myself this is probably going to be one of the toughest hunts I've been on.

No Sir, have hunted pretty much every mountain range in southern Arizona east of the reservation line in the Boboquivari's, but nothing west of there.

Your probably right. Having hunted Colorado, New Mexico, and here, I think the game and fish departments inflate their numbers just to allot more tags and bring in more revenue. That's just my 2 cents. I read an article a few years ago on how Colorado did their surveys and I was like there is no way they can get an accurate number on the population of game animals in a specific unit.

Not trying to tell him, Its just my experience when hunting them. I'm sure he is a far better hunter than me.

Within a few miles of drinkers is our plan unless its raining. I'm guessing your not really glassing for deer when your out there and are concentrating on the bighorn in their habitat which in those two units is not as attractive to mule deer. I'm not saying you cant find deer its just that your hyper focused on finding the sheep. The bighorn are also easier to spot, whereas a mule deer you might have to pick every small tree or large bush apart in a wash to find them, and I speak from experience. There is a lot of flatland those deer can hide out in which makes it hard as heck to hunt. The deer are there as per the stats given to me by the game and fish officer Travis who was very nice and quite helpful. Deer stats- 44 fawns per 100 does, 65 bucks per 100 does, target number game and fish wants to get to is 20-30 per 100 does. The hunt has an average success rate of 13%, 2021- 3 hunters killed, 2022-1 kill, 2023-0 kills. He also said after the first weekend rush of hunters the workers out there start seeing deer along the road occasionally.

Zoinks! I knew there has to be some monsters roaming that land.

They are uncut, 32.25" from nock point.

good to know, thank you.

Well if that happens then we just readjust, I've had worse things happen on hunts.

When we find the areas we want to concentrate on we will make some trips prior and stash it. Work smarter not harder.

Dude was carrying a hundred pound pack, that's insane! I've had back fusion and double knee replacement, there's no way I would be be toting that much weight around. Had the left knee done about a month and a half ago. At 57 I've started on the hunting extension plan, get all my parts fused or replaced so I can hunt another 20 years hopefully, LOL. I at least need to get my Alaska dream hunt in.

Does any one know a guy that knows a guy that might know another guy that shot a buck in one of these units. You here more about bigfoot in different areas than you do mule deer in the Cabeza Prieta. I watched the only YouTube video I could find of a guy hunting mule deer there and it was him mostly talking, I don't even think he really glassed that much. I'm going to do you all a favor and document this entire hunt with videos and photos, the scouting included so people can get an idea of what their getting themselves into. I have no doubt about big bucks in there and I am prepared for hours of glassing to try and find them.

I would say yes as well. I've seen Coues whitetails in places you would not expect to see them.
