AI Scout Preview

AZ 40A — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access AZ 40A spans nearly 700,000 acres of low-desert mule deer country across a dramatic elevation range—from 730 feet in the low desert floor to over 4,300 feet at higher terrain. Nearly all land is public, giving hunters exceptional access and the freedom to explore and self-locate without worrying about permission boundaries. The wide elevation gradient means diverse habitat types: lower elevations hold classic desert mule deer habitat, while mid and upper elevations transition into brushy foothills and mixed terrain that concentrate deer as seasons shift.
