Wade drew a 2018 Late Kaibab Mule Deer tag (12AW) & hired Exclusive Pursuit Outfitters to guide him on this special mule deer hunt. Jimmy Hoffman (guide) & crew scouted the unit (12AWest) hard in search of a big mule deer. The Kaibab holds a tremendous amount of mule deer but you have to grind it out to find a really big buck.
A big 190″ Kaibab Mule Deer that Jimmy found prior to the season.He wasn’t quite the big buck they were looking to hunt .
The mule deer was kicking in on the Kaibab, which meant they were checking groups of does daily & you just never knew exactly where a big buck would show. After several days of hunting hard with their small group of friends, they finally found a big buck that was a giant Kaibab Mule Deer.
Wade & Jimmy got it done on the Kaibab with the help of their small group of friends.

Our good friend Mark B. drew his dream Arizona Mule Deer tag in Unit 13B in 2016. The EPO crew scouted & hunted harder, which turned up several great strip bucks. After 4 days of hunting hard, they looked over this BIG heavy typical & decided it was time to pull the trigger.

On the second day of we glassed up a group of deer & finally picked out an old trophy mule deer. James & the crew made their move after the big buck & does shaded up for an afternoon nap. As they approached the last known location of the bedded deer they found themselves at less than 15 yards from some of the does. The old buck slipped through an opening, but James was already drawn back. James made a great decision to step to his right & made a solid archery shot at just over 30 yards!
