I was out last week hunting Desert Muleys and got some footage I thought I'd share with you all. I hope you enjoy it..... Terry

Nice video, Terry.  Looks like you have a good area.  Lots of stickers there!

[jess stuart]

Pretty cool.  Reminds me a little of southern New Mexico.  Tough country and tough deer.  Thanks for sharing with us.

[KSdan]

Ahhhh- memories!!  Awesome.  I am jealous. .  javis, lions, coues' deer, and mulies.  ALL in one place.

These midwestern young guys need to forget trying to own their corner 80 and food plots, yada yada. . .and head west- hundreds of thousands of acres- FREE!

Thanks for sharing this video. It was very nice.

Glad you guys are enjoying the video..... I let the javie app deadline slip away from me. I figured I'd pick up a leftover first come first serve tag but they were sold out for my unit this year, so I don't have a javie tag in pocket. The beauty of bowhunting AZ this time of year is that you can almost hunt anything that moves in the desert. I will be sharing a little story of an encounter I had on this hunt that I consider a very rare encounter. I still have to edit the video........ Thanks...... Terry

Hey Terry that Big fork at the end of your video looks like he has a piece of antler in his neck?

Terry, what area were you hunting?  South of Tucson?  I moved back to Indiana from Phoenix a few years back.  Your video really made me miss the desert.

[AZStickman]

Blake...... I couldn't figure out if that was antler in his neck or a chunk of Cholla. That buck had me puzzled on several counts. Our typical desert Muleys have narrow, high racks, and usually not a lot of mass, the real good ones will have deep forks. There were a couple of real good ones in this area two seasons ago I was hoping to meet up with. When I saw this big forkie I was amazed at how wide he was. At first I thought he was an old regressive buck but after looking at him in the videos I would have a hard time placing him over 4 1/2 years old. He actually is a 3x2 if you look close. I looked the mountain over real good and he was the big boy in there this year so far. I am heading back out next weekend for another go at it.

JJB2..... That area is definitely in southern AZ...   :D  .... Terry

Very cool, definitely made me nostalgic.  I'd be ambiguous on the location too...

Great video the song fits good also. I am going down to arizona next week to chase deer in the beautiful desert. This just added fuel to my fire to get down there. Do you think they will still be rutting?  

[Thumper Dunker]

Great stuff.  

[AZStickman]

Helo    the peak of the rut may have passed when you get here but post rut hunting has some good advantages too.

I was out all of last weekend.  The whitetails were still going at it hard.
