Arizona Mule Deer Hunt

In this Episode we head down to the dry desert hills of Arizona in search of a monster mule deer. This was our first trip to Arizona to hunt mule deer and we had our work cut out for us! We came close but ended up short. This was a great adventure and an experience. We will definitely return to Arizona to hunt mule deer again!

    So glad you made this video. Im so tired of deer hunting videos from back east where numerous bucks pass in front of their tree stand every morning, and they pass most of them up. As an Arizona native hunter I always think, you idiots should try and hunt here! Its super tough! Your video showed the brutal reality. My daughter and I will be in 19A this October for the rifle hunt. Hope to run into you on your next Arizona adventure.

    @AZ Desert Prepper I feel you man.. I hunt down south in AZ and I see a lot of bucks and get them at least to 150 yards usually 100 but they get spooked around then.. if I hunted with a rifle I would never go home without a deer. I still haven’t got a deer in AZ with a bow. I’m probably a small portion of the population that thinks hunting laws should be changed to shotgun slugs and bows. It’s too easy with a rifle you can shoot 400 yards.

    It’s literally 50 times harder out here. Though.. if i was rifle hunting out here I’d have a deer Everytime I’ve been out.. but a bow on the west coast is the hardest type of hunting there is.

    Take a 55gal outdoor tash bag with you next time for the javelina throw it in that will help with the getting the stink on everything. Then hang it from a tree and skin it whole a good butcher will get more meat off it that way? I get typically 35 to 40lbs of chorizo of mine every year. Fun critters to hunt! Great video! And good az otc buck you guys were chasing!

Or at the very least cut out those cent glands wich kinda helps but the hide is normally covered in stink too. cool video thanks for sharing. fyi pigs make great jalapeno and cheese summer sauage

Unfortunately California Fish & Game are corrupt Government Officials.. it my understand that the head of California Fish & Game is a member of PETA. It’s hard to get Ammo in California because of the back ground checks. I got my hunting licenses back in 2003 but I had not gone hunting yet but when I move i will do a lot of it.
