Drawn!

Myself and three friends drew late November group rifle tags for a unit in southern Arizona.  This area holds lots of deer, but requires lots of walking and lots of glassing.  The unit has a wide variety of terrain from mesquite flats to steep oak ridges, and everything in between.  It is a great example of the stereotypical Coues deer country.

With four months until the hunt opens, now is the time for physical preparation, scouting, and honing our shooting skills.  This will be my first exclusively rifle hunt in over 7 years.  I will be using a Ruger .243, and am currently planning on developing some hand-loads for this particular hunt.  I'll keep you updated on the round selection as reloading commences.
