AZ August velvet mule deer back from the taxi
« on: June 04, 2011, 01:14:03 PM »
Last August I harvested a Mule deer in Arizona on opening archery day. he just finished at the taxidermist and i think he looks awesome for a summer buck... it was well into the 90's the day i took him. He still has his original velvet and summer hide, because i didnt want any fake flock on the antlers! let me know how he stacks up to the washington buck i should expect now that I moved to WA...
if anyone will be hunting in AZ, I can help direct you to some good OTC archery tag areas... some good coues white tail and mule deer running around...

Thats a great archery buck. As far as stacking him up against some WA bucks, not to many people on this site would pass him up ;)

Nice buck. It takes a lot of work to do real velvet right. Looks like he did a good job for you :IBCOOL:

Excellent taxidermy work.  Congrats on a great buck.  Don't worry, you'll kill deer like this all the time in WA... :rolleyes: :chuckle:

I've got 10 points for elk and 9 for deer, sheep and antelope. I have just been buying points until I get up there. I just sent my stuff in for sheep and deer. I'm close for elk in the area that I want to hunt and for deer I'll keep buying points till I have enough for the strip areas. I would like to go down and hunt the deer rut for coues and mulies some Dec/jan with my bow.

...how many points is that...?  I thought the strip was numerically undrawable short of a lightning strike...  DIfferent for a bow..? :dunno:

My brother drew 13b last year with 5 bonus points. It was a hunt of a lifetime, one I will never forget. You want to put in for units 13a or 13b. If you need an outfitter I can recommend one for you. Here is his deer form last November. Good luck on the Draw.

I got this buck in unit 23... the last year has been great hunting for deer in AZ. anytime anyone wants to chat details offline, drop me a note... i would like a few pointers for WA scouting areas also.
I give props to my taxi Dale at Wild Heritage Taxidermy in Young AZ.  http://www.wildheritagetaxidermy.com/

the strip is always the hot spot in AZ and the odds are crazy...
Here's some stats for 13A last fall (I have photos of most of them from the game check-in, I'll get them posted soon)
 
The ones checked over 200 are as follows:
8x8 scoring around 230- Sunshine Point
10X9 scoring around 249 Kip Fattalehs deer out of Tuweep Valley
8X7 scoring around 205
7X7 scoring right around 224
8X8 scoring 240- Hancock Knoll Catchment
7x7 scoring 234- Tuweep valley
8x10 scoring 230- Cold Spring Wash
206- Duane Shroufe
226- Linda Shroufe
7X9- 234 East of Hancock Knoll

Make sure you have the right address. It's NOT the Carefree Hwy address any more. They changed it last year. I got my elk and antelope apps back 3 days before the deadline and had to overnight them. >:(
