I was thinking mule deer and white tail deer.

I hope you are planning for next season. The draw already took place.

You can still get yourself a Archery Deer tag over the counter. Pick up a copy of the regs at any WallyWorld.

I don't have a bow or know how to use one

Attatch sharp, pointy stick to taut string. Pull string to nose. Let sharp, pointy stick fly (ensure sharp, pointy end is NOT pointed at foot). Enjoy string burn on left forearm. Gaze in wonder at drunken trajectory of sharp, pointy stick. Walk 25 feet, remove sharp, pointy stick from tree/cactus/ground/hiker. Wonder if deer is over in the next draw laughing itself silly.
Reslove to get with the program NEXT year, get in on the draw and hunt with a firearm. ...or, spend off-season learning to LOVE searching for arrows in the grass/brush/cactus, pulling arrows out of hay bales you actually manage to hit and pulling arrows that missed the hay bale out of cactus/trees/ground/family cat and of course, the inevitable purchase of all archery specific gadgetry...most of which appears to be more complex and less functional than needed. Obesess about pin sights, optical sights or just being a purist and sighting down the arrow like the injuns did. Obsess about which broadheads to get. The Super Extra Razor Sharp ones or the Serrated Cavitating Wonder Slicers of DOOM! Debate merits of carbon fiber vs aluminum arrows. Choose a recurve bow and be scoffed at as archaich. Choose compound and be scoffed at as a weak, sniveling she-man who can't even pull back a "Man's Bow".
Once you get passed all of that....now you have to decide...what camo? What scent-free, non-UV detergent to wash my camo in? Should I just hunt in buckskins and smear myself in
buffalo cow shit, like the indians did?
If I drive my truck in, will it's smell "pollute" me? I should ride a horse in. Real men ride Paints. Sissies ride quaterhorses. Purists ride Appaloosas.
Oh...plus...did I mention you have to learn how to stalk? Cause only sissies sit up in a stand and WAIT for a deer to wander by. By God, that's just NOT sporting....
