Jacob...soaz Report post Posted November 15, 2018 How big is a Southern Arizona mule deer home range ? (excluding the rut) Is it fairly small like a coues deer? If i find some good mule deer bucks should i be able to find them in the same general area if nothing changes food .. water .. pressure.. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuma Outdoorsman Report post Posted November 16, 2018 Deer I hunt are 4-5 miles from the closest water...have seen them 7-8 miles at times. Just depends on the year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am pretty sure I know where they get water so yesterday I glassed the surrounding area but still did not find them.. I will keep looking they are the best looking bucks I have personally seen in this particular spot and it's easy for me to get to so its easier to spend time looking for them .
