huntingfool Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Anybody ever heard of this? My brother-in-law said during the hunter safety class for his son the instructor said there are a few eastern whitetails in AZ. I have never seen or heard of anyone seeing any. One time out by Williams, I think off Devil Dog road (unit 10) a buddy and I hiked up to the top of a hill that was kind of all by itself. Near the top we spooked some whitetail deer, I figured they were coues deer but we really didn't get a good look. We just saw 3 tails dissappear over the hill. Mostly we were both really surprised to see whitetails out there. We both looked at each other and said "those were whitetails weren't they?" Anybody ever see coues deer out that way?

huntingfool Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I think that instructor needs to go to school Haha yeah I am having trouble swallowing it myself. Hence the post. But I figured this would be the best site to post on because the members here should actually be able to tell the difference between deer species. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desertdog Report post Posted June 11, 2009 I have never heard of Eastern in AZ as-well. I have heard of muleys with racks that look just like whitetail racks. Mule deer body just with a whitetail rack. I know they have some eastern whitetail around New Mexico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DubTee Report post Posted June 11, 2009 That was hilarious, here I was thinking if I drew 13B I'd only be thinking about mulies, nice to know it's one of the top 10 whitetail units in AZ according to this dude. I want to look at his top 10 elk units now, oh let me guess his #1 unit for elk is 36B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
