I got drawn for this hunt 8/21-9/10. Never been to Unit 1 but have taken a nice 160” mule deer in neighboring unit 27. There were 125 tags for this early season archery hunt and the unit is known more for trophy elk. Anyone here have any experience with mule deer in the unit? I’m looking at the higher elevations like Mt.Baldy and Escudilla Mountain at just under 10k’ which seem to have decent sub alpine habitat For mule deer according to AZGFD. The only problem is that the areas don’t seem that big. Maybe scouting will prove different.
