On this episode, I'm joined by JP Vicente of Big Chino Outfitters to talk about hunting opportunities in Arizona. I don't know about you, but I've always been told that Arizona was a state that would take forever to draw and kind of looked past it for immediate opportunities. Little did I know that are actually a few different hunts that you can do over-the-counter or with just a few points! The most appealing of these hunts happens to be the OTC mule deer option to hunt the rut with a bow in late December/early January, so we talk in detail about this and how Arizona works.
