>>2382133There are a fuckton of deer and other ungulates out west, whitetail tend to prefer mid elevations and forests but still live in the desert to, while mulies tend to hang around the lower and transition elevations in dry grass and shrub land. The southernmost Elks in the US also hang out in mid-elevation shrublands in Arizona to many hunters' surprise. IIRC 11 of the known top 40 trophy bulls (typical and non-typical) were taken in Arizona according to the Boone and Crockett club. Including the #1 and #5 typical and #5,#8,#9, and #10 non-typical bulls. The #1 non-typical was taken in southern Utah. Took a picture of pic related today a couple hours ago, small mulie.
