New hunter from AZ

[Juliano88]

What’s up everybody! My name is juliano and have lived in Arizona for 14 years. I have always been an outdoorsman but I have recently gotten the itch to become a hunter. I am completely new to hunting and have been watching YouTube videos and reading books/articles to learn as much as I can. It has been on my mind for years but it’s time to start this new journey.

I will be joining my work buddy on a few quail hunts this year and I want to get into deer hunting as well. I don’t have any friends who hunt but that won’t stop me. I have no idea where to start but I look forward to meet some experienced hunters and learn as much as I can!

I started really getting into hunting all by myself when I lived in AZ too. Lots of long walks carrying a gun before actually hunting haha Quail and rabbits are a lot of fun and long seasons, javelina are fun and easier to get tags for than the other big game plus they taste pretty good too. OTC archery mule deer tags are a great benefit to residents. LOTS to hunt, even without drawing tags. Have fun and good luck!

Apply for any October or November deer hunt in a unit numbered higher than 30 and there is a very good chance you will have a deer tag this fall.
