Known as the Arizona Strip, this remote region is home to arguably the largest mule deer in the world along with huntable numbers of antelope and desert bighorn sheep. The state manages deer so that bucks get old enough to attain trophy size. More than 90% public, this unit has great access via numerous backcountry roads.

Trophy mule deer hunting is incredible, but the chances of drawing a tag are virtually zero unless you have the maximum number of bonus points. This unit is a great destination for hunters seeking the Nelsoni classification of desert bighorn. Antelope numbers are low.
