Check the burn areas......and the fringe areas near the burn. You might like what you find. Good luck and have fun.

Never understood why those truck bed hunters wear camouflage.......

I know it can be frustrating, however the information (successful recipients and their address) released by G&F departments is a matter of public record. The fee collected is probably what is calculated to cover the cost of processing the information. Remember, a hunting permit is for a public resource.

My retirement property is right there........

D-12 zone archery season is generally the month of October.....rifle season is the month of November. That's it.....no late season rut season here. Generally the deer rut the month of January in the eastern portion of the zone (CA/AZ line).

Sure are........ unfortunately, though, Liberals are not in season.

Probably some farmer's stock. There are a few down towards Paolmar Mtn.......near San Diego. But that's a LONG ways from where the OP was referring to.

What a beautiful Coues buck, congratulations to the hunter. I can't wait to see/measure it at the P&Y panel in St. Loius (2017)......I hope the measurements hold true, as world records are exciting but extremely rare (beyond popular belief). Pickups (deadheads) are allowed in the all-time B&C Records Program as well.

The range you're referring to (zone D-12) has some true desert mule deer......although the numbers are low. This is arid desert country that doesn't receive a lot of rainfall.......even in the monsoon season. I live in the unit and have measured several rifle bucks (a few archery) taken from this unit over the last 25 years. Deer grow to maturity in this unit, as it is extremely remote and inaccessible (except foot) in many areas. A 165-180" buck is not unheard of. The state record archery typical mule deer is from this unit (182" net).....the #3 non-typical is from this unit as well at 191" net. Most deer are along the river north and south of Blythe.......but there are also deer well within the unit near Desert Center and Chiriaco Summit. There are NO wild pigs of any type (except humans) in any of the unit or high mountain ranges above Palm Springs. Wish there was, but there's not.

10 may have it's own issues.......have you seen the press release from the BR on their newly implemented trespass fees? From what I've seen (measured), 27 has been well represented the last few years.

Nice mature buck, my friend! Hope all is well........stop on by whenever you're out this way.

Great Coues buck! Congratulations.

RELAX guys......sheeeeesh. He already said it was a shooter for him but he simply wants to know what it might measure.

Way to go, young man! Not a bad desert muley at all.

I bet you're excited.......if you lived closer to me, I'd measure him for you. Let us know what he comes out at.

Drying period is long over.........what did he officially measure at?

You can't order it "on-line". You can, however, download their order form, fill it out, and send it in. They are pretty quick at the return..........or just stop at any Walmart and buy it there.

Checked one that was reportedly taken in the Kofas.......giant!

Carlton's Cat Paws.......

What an absolute TOAD of a Coues buck.........big time congratulations!

Found some going crazy in unit 1........a bruiser at that. But they were pretty much done singing by 0830.

Way to go, kid! Congratulations on a fine mule deer.

What an awesome looking main-frame 3x4......don't know about 191", but it's one heck of a buck!

Any buck arrowed in the back-country is a trophy, IMO. Congratulations!

Absolutely, I do.
