Arizona Mule Deer Hunting Trips

Arizona mule deer hunting is high on the list for most hunters. In fact, some hunters consider Arizona to be the best place in the world to hunt mule deer. That’s up for debate…some would choose Sonora or possibly Alberta, but you can’t argue that Arizona probably ranks in the top five places to take a big buck. Whoppers are taken yearly, especially on the Arizona Strip and Kaibab Plateau. Most Arizona mule deer hunts are mostly limited entry, and tough to draw, but it is worth playing the odds!

OTC Archery Arizona Mule Deer Hunting

These are high quality, trophy Arizona mule deer hunting trips with over-the-counter tags.

Early Hunt: If you choose to do the early over-the-counter archery Arizona mule deer hunt, you’ll be hunting bachelor groups of trophy bucks that are still in the velvet. The temperature is hot, so most of the hunting will take place on or around water sources from a tree stand or pop up ground blind.

Rut Hunt: If you’re looking for an exciting spot-and-stalk archery hunt during the mule deer rut, this one’s for you. You’ll be chasing bucks with your bow as they’re chasing does around during the peak of the rut.

Late Season: Those who choose to hunt during the firearms seasons can expect to see upwards of ten bucks a day. The primary means of hunting will include long hours of glassing with high quality optics, as well as hunting food plots.

They take pride in their ability to get YOU into bow range for good, clean shot opportunities. If archery hunting isn’t your thing, we work with some well managed ranches in Arizona, that consistently produce good mule deer year after year.

The Arizona Strip

We believe that the two Arizona Strip units are the best premier mule deer tags in Arizona.

The biggest buck one of our hunters have gotten so far on “The Strip” was a 229 inch monster! The hunt takes place in early November during the rut. It is a ten day season and you can expect to see a 190+ buck with the potential for a true giant.

The density of deer is very low, but the quality is insane. Some days a deer may not even be spotted, but if a hunter is willing to spend all ten days glassing hard, a good buck WILL be found. If this hunt intrigues you, start putting in. It sometimes takes up to 15 years to draw one of these tags.

If you draw an Arizona Strip mule deer hunting tag contact us quickly to book! The deer density on the strip is very low and hunting is difficult. A guide is highly recommended if you want to take the most advantage of this special tag.

The Kaibab

If the best Arizona mule deer hunting is on The Strip, the Kaibab would be a close second.

The late Kaibab hunt is a ton of fun and it’s a little bit easier to draw than a Strip tag. Expect to see a lot of deer on these hunts. The Kaibab is a high density hunt. You’ll see lots of deer and lots of bucks. If you are after a big mule deer, then this is the hunt for you. Start applying!

Trophy quality on the Late Kaibab mule deer hunts is VERY good. Hunters can expect a 180 deer on the Kaibab, but bucks scoring above 200 inches are taken every year.
