knothead Report post Posted December 27, 2023 I have a friend who lives in central AZ, and he has deer all around him. As of this morning he has only seen a small 2 point and 3 point move into the area. The bigger bucks usually show up after Christmas so should be any day now. The area where lives has already met its quota so all he can do is watch the deer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d imagine the mule deer in the southern units are starting a little? In 34a now. Glassed up over 20 doe across several groups not a single buck with them (WT). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sky Island junkie Report post Posted December 27, 2023 Where I hunt a lot of the younger bucks are still friends. The older bucks have been singles since early Nov but zero chasing. Probably won’t see hard core action till mid Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
