ABOUT OUTFITTER:
This HFA-Endorsed Outfitter is known for elk, deer, and sheep across Arizona, with guides who specialize in specific units rather than working the whole state generically. That specialization is the core of it, and it has produced some of the largest animals taken in the state. Scouting starts well before any season and results in a trophy hit list built for each client, with photo updates sent out ahead of the hunt so a hunter knows what is on the ground before arriving. That level of preparation is also why statewide auction tag holders book with them for elk year after year. Nothing here is left to chance, and the attention to detail is the reputation.
HUNT DETAILS:
The guides here were born and raised in Arizona's top elk units, and each specializes in a particular area rather than spreading thin. Year-round scouting is what drives the operation, and clients get regular updates before arriving, including video, trail camera photos, and range condition assessments. On the rifle hunts, glassing does most of the work. Guides spend a large share of the day picking apart country looking for the right bull, and it is common to spot dozens of bulls in a single day, which makes for a dynamic hunt rather than a waiting game. Days start early and run until dark, so every hour of light gets used. Vehicles and UTVs handle the transportation, which lets guides cover a great deal of ground efficiently. Under the right conditions bulls are still vocal, and that changes the hunt entirely. Between the scouting, the equipment, and the number of bulls in this country, the odds of finding a trophy are as good as Arizona offers.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
Lodging depends on the unit and on whether a hunter books fully outfitted or guide-only. Fully outfitted hunts run out of well-equipped camps with a full-time cook putting out hearty, home-cooked meals that will test a belt. Hot showers are available on request, and sleeping quarters are clean and private rather than a shared bunk tent. On certain hunts a nearby motel is an option for hunters who would rather sleep in town. Guide-only clients generally handle their own lodging and food. Whichever way a hunter goes, the intent is that the hours outside the field are restful rather than something to endure.
LICENSE INFORMATION:
Most big-game hunts in Arizona require applying through a draw system, where hunters submit applications for permits. Hunters must also have a valid hunting license before applying. Huntin' Fool's License Application team will help you apply at the time of application.
