Notime2hunt Report post Posted May 19, 2016 Looks as if they did away with the unit 23 December Mule Deer Hunt. Anybody have any information on this? Does it have something to do with opening 23 for archery in December? Unit 27 still has the late MD hunt. any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 i'm sure it has everything to do with 23 december archery being open this year. it would be a mess to have 1,000 archery hunters running around when you burn 15bp's for the rifle hunt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueser4 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 I believe they are just rotating that late hunt through different units. Over the last few years some have had it then went away while a new unit had it opened up. Not sure of the rotation but I believe that is their plan with those late hunts. It's a good tag and fun to hunt that time of year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azhunter85 Report post Posted May 20, 2016 Has nothing to do with the archery hunt, 17b has late rifle and archery hunters in mad numbers and it's going on the third year in a row. They should rotate these hunts around but they only do with some units and not all. 6a had a hunt for one year and they opened a diff unit the year after.

forepaw Report post Posted May 21, 2016 I had a 17b Nov. tag back in the mid - '90s and didn't see another hunter. Last year, the late rifle hunt (15 tags) was 100% success. That unit must get pounded. forepaw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
