Arizona’s desert country is remote and challenging—defined by steep ridgelines, cactus-covered basins, and vast expanses of open country.

No matter which option you choose, you’ll enjoy expert guidance, great accommodations, and an unforgettable hunting adventure in Arizona's desert landscapes.

LICENSE INFORMATION:
In Arizona, there are a few different ways to acquire a tag for desert mule deer hunting. The most common method for rifle or late-season hunts is through the state’s limited-entry draw, which can be competitive depending on the unit and season. However, Arizona also offers over-the-counter (OTC) archery tags for many desert mule deer units, providing excellent opportunities for those willing to hunt during general or rut seasons. Huntin' Fool can assist with the application process and help identify the best draw units or OTC options based on your goals and experience. With the right strategy—and some determination—you could be hunting desert mule deer in some of the most scenic and rugged country in the West.
