WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted May 8, 2012 The "draw" was earlier than before this year. That has passed. There may be leftovers depending on what you want to hunt, but probably will tough to get them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
codyhuntsaz Report post Posted May 9, 2012 There are lots of leftover tags, looked to me on the website that the tags were first come first serve not a drawing? Was thinking about unit 5? But open to suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savagman Report post Posted May 9, 2012 This year they decided to only issue tags in person in Window Rock. No draw by mail. Not sure how many folks can take a monday off, drive 6-7 hours one way to get a pricey mule deer tag. WAY more leftovers this year than in years past. I am not sure that they would allow you to purchase by mail but it is worth a try. PM me and I can tell you a little about unit 5, 3, and 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted May 11, 2012 I've hunted mule deer on the Navajo once and it was a very fun hunt. The deer numbers seem to be very cyclical. The guys I hunted with said the numbers were way down the year we hunted it compared to the previous year, but at least 3 of the 4 of us with tags got our deer (this was archery). Not sure if the 4th got his the weekend after I left. However, it looks like the tags are way down. I was considering doing it again and I found the following info on their website. It looks to me (please correct me if I'm wrong) that they are only offering 3 tags per hunt (standard $400 tag) to non tribal members... http://www.nndfw.org/2012_13proclamation.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
