Any Sign of Rut Activity for Archery Hunt in Southern Az?

[muledeerarea33?]

I saw a nice Looking muley 4x? Yesterday that was broke off dang near right to the base on his right side. He was with about 8-10 does and minis and there was a spike buck hanging around the edge of the group. They were all bedded down didnt see him pushing. It was a neighborhood herd so we pushed a baby stroller and walked the dog past them at about 20 yards and they didnt even stand up.

some neighborhoods have drive by shootings.... just sayin.

Up until the 31st, every group of coues I've seen were segregated bucks vs. does. Spikes and forks were running together and all other bucks were solo. I had a few groups of 4-6 does without a buck. One really nice buck was following the path (in reverse) of a doe herd with his nose down and a ton of hustle. They're close.

 

All mule deer groups on the 30th and 31st had solid bucks pushing. Have had recent trail cam pictures of bucks that have never been on camera with does also.
