Arizona offers some amazing Mule Deer, Coues Deer, and Javelina hunting opportunities for the traveling bowhunter. This fabulous mule deer trophy was taken on a self guided bowhunt in the fall of 2017. Perhaps the best part - you can purchase a hunting permit without having to apply for the annual lottery.
I hope to see me there this coming January ... you?
From wikipedia:
"The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is a deer indigenous to western North America; it is named for its ears, which are large like those of the mule. There are several subspecies, including the black-tailed deer.
Unlike the related white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer are generally more associated with the land west of the Missouri River, and more specifically with the Rocky Mountain region of North America."
