We offer fully outfitted and guided big game hunts for Elk, Mountain Lion, Coues Deer and Bear. We are dedicated to giving you 100% to make your hunt not only successful, but also enjoyable and memorable.

Elk: Arizona Elk hunting is a spectacular event. Although it is extremely difficult to draw a tag, you can be sure the wait is well worth it, for you will be in for a truly unforgettable hunting experience.

Mountain Lion: The mountain lion is a magnificent trophy but an extremely elusive one, requiring the aid of well trained hounds. We specialize in hunting lions on dry ground without any need for snow. We have an excellent string of riding and packing mules that we use to travel the canyons, bluffs and ridges while looking for lion tracks.

Coues Deer: The coues deer has become an extremely desired trophy animal. Arizona has great habitat for these deer and as a result very high numbers of them. We hunt these deer in the months of October, November and December.

Bear: Arizona has excellent bear hunting, with the true potential of harvesting a world class animal. Bears in this state come in many color phases: Black, Chocolate, Cinnamon and Blonde. We hunt these bears in the months of August and September, when the food sources are plentiful.

Visit our site to purchase our two hunting DVD's. On this DVD we will be in search of the monster Bulls that Arizona has become so well known for. We will hunt Bulls starting in September, when the mountains are alive with the sound of bugeling and the rustling of falling leaves; through December, where the Bulls have retreated to the canyons and thickets to pass away the winter. This DVD has 9 exciting hunts: 3 Archery, 2 Muzzleload, and 4 Rifle. With most of the bulls scoring over 350 and several that go from 380+ to a huge typical archery bull at 411 official.

We understand the importance of relying on your outfitter. We want to make sure that at the end of your hunt, you are confident that you have made the right decision. We look forward to each new season and hope to have you in camp!
