Unit 27 December Rifle Mule Deer Buck

Recommended Posts

So do do I win the guess the score contest?

You were right on. I couldn't believe the first guess was within 1/8". I guess I need to bring you along when judging bucks. Everyone that guessed was very close.

Simply awesome. Having bow hunted AZ for quite a few seasons years ago I prayed for years that AZ would offer a few December or January tags for the rifle hunters. If I ever draw one it'll be a dream come true. Late season AZ mulie hunts there are world class. The only thing missing was the rifle. Now that's no longer the case. Hopefully though, they will keep the tags few.

 

As far as I'm concerned, you hit the magic 190+ mark. A stellar once in a lifetime buck for any unit, any weapon.

Congratulations on a true beauty of a buck! He scores great but regardless of that he is just plain awesome and I can see why you'd have that perma grin!

Now take your bow on Jan 1 and mount the 3 point beside that one. Awesome buck.

Now that's a good idea.

Congrats man! Beautiful buck. I was one of the fortunate ones to draw the late 23 muley hunt last year. Had a blast. It felt so good to be out there with a 7mm!

How did you do on the 23 hunt last year? I saw the harvest #'s were pretty good for that hunt. Last year in 27 the harvest numbers were 12%. When I saw that I couldn't figure it out. Not sure if only a few hunters reported or they never found the bucks that they were looking for.

 

I agree that it was awesome packing the 7mm during the rut. I chased bucks around in December/January for years with a bow and killed some decent bucks, but it was a whole different experience with a rifle.

That is a super buck! Glad to see the Unit 27 late mule deer hunt payoff. That rut brings those big boys out of hiding.

 

I was hoping to be up there for the January bowhunt.......but things are looking grim.
