Big Game species found in Arizona Hunting Unit 12 A East:
- Arizona Unit 12A-East Mule Deer Hunting: The Kaibab Plateau, is home to some of the best trophy mule deer hunting not only in the state of Arizona but one of the best mule deer hunts anywhere. Hunters lucky enough to draw a East side Kaibab tag will enjoy a fantastic mule deer hunt with Boone and Crockett buck potential. The premium late season rifle and muzzleloader rut hunts in Unit 12A-East is where hunters will experience the highest chances of success on a giant mule deer buck, although many record book bucks have been harvested on the early rifle and archery hunts. This Arizona hunting unit is more difficult to hunt and much less accessible by roads than 12A-West. It is rough, thickly vegetated, wilderness country that can make hunting very tough. Hiking to high topography points and glassing the lower country with tripod mounted optics will result in numerous daily deer sightings during the late season rifle and muzzleloader hunts. On the summer archery hunts concentrate your efforts in the higher forested country. The summer heat tends to concentrate the bucks near water sources. Find a water source that is littered with tracks and be patient. You never know what kind of giant buck might come in on the East side of the Kaibab. If a trophy class mule deer is your goal you will do well to apply for a Arizona Hunting Unit 12A-East Mule Deer tag. Contact us if you are fortunate enough to draw a coveted Kaibab mule deer tag.
