About Nichols Guiding Service

If you are looking for a quality Arizona hunting experience, then you have come to the right place. Nichols Guiding Service is a full time, year round Arizona outfitting and guiding service. We offer fully outfitted and guided Arizona Elk Hunting, Arizona Mountain Lion Hunting, Arizona Coues Deer Hunting and Arizona Black Bear Hunting. We are dedicated to giving you 100% to make your Arizona hunt not only successful, but also enjoyable and memorable.

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

Arizona Mountain Lion Hunting: The mountain lion is a magnificent trophy but an extremely elusive one, requiring the aid of well trained hounds. We specialize in hunting Arizona 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.

Arizona Coues Deer Hunting: The Arizona 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.

Arizona Bear Hunting: Arizona has excellent bear hunting, with the true potential of harvesting a world class animal. Bears in Arizona 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.

Nichols Guiding Service is a full time year round Arizona outfitting and guiding service. We are family owned and operated. We are fully licensed, insured and permitted to guide on over 11 million acres throughout Arizona. We are very fortunate to have a crew of guides that are highly qualified and are dedicated to giving each and every hunter the best chance of a successful Arizona hunt. All of our guides are family and friends who are devoted in helping every one in camp be successful and ensuring that their Arizona hunt is enjoyable and memorable.

Visit our site to purchase our two Arizona hunting DVD's. On this DVD we will be in search of the monster Arizona Bulls. We will hunt Bulls starting in September, when the mountains are alive with the sound of bugling 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 Arizona 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!

OUTDOORSMAN OUTFITTER OF THE MONTH - MAY 2009

A quality Arizona hunt is the only option. We offer Arizona archery hunts, Arizona muzzleloader hunts, and Arizona rifle hunts for Arizona Elk, Arizona Mule Deer, Arizona Couse Deer, and Arizona Antelope. All Arizona hunts are fair chase and take place on public and private land. We hunt only the high quality areas where the hunter has the capability of taking a quality Arizona animal.

I have been guiding big game hunts in Arizona and New Mexico for over ten years. I am from Arizona and have been hunting and fishing in Arizona since I was a child. This intimate knowledge of the areas I hunt reflects on the quality of animals I have taken throughout the years in Arizona. I employ only the most reputable Arizona hunting guides in the areas that we conduct Arizona hunts in. I believe that an outfitter is only as good as his guides are. All my Arizona hunting guides are licensed in Arizona and New Mexico and have a great track record for killing quality Arizona animals. Our goal is to put the hunter on quality animals and for the hunter to have an Arizona hunting experience that he or she will not soon forget. So, if you want a quality guided Arizona hunt, you have found the outfitter for you.

Arizona is the premier state for western big game hunting. Although Arizona tags are hard to draw the hunter is surly in for the hunt of a life time. We are now booking for private ranch hunts for elk, deer, and antelope in New Mexico. We also have available unit wide tags for Elk in high quality units. All of these tags private or unit wide are guaranteed hunts. We can book a year in advance for anyone of these tags. Give us call availability is limited.

New Mexico has excellent opportunities at trophy Elk, Mule Deer, and Antelope. Unfortunately, the cost of a quality land owner tag is beyond the average hunters’ budget. So let us apply you for these quality hunts in New Mexico, you will be put in a separate drawing pool which increases your odds of drawing one of these quality tags. We can also apply you for Arizona hunts. Unfortunately, Arizona does not have this separate drawing pool but they do have a bonus point system, folks these tags are surely worth the wait. We offer fully guided or guide only hunts for all species.

New Mexico offers great opportunities for the mobility impaired hunter for Elk and Antelope. We can apply any hunter that qualifies for these hunts. So give us a call about these special hunts.

I am 33 years old, happily married to my wonderful wife, Crystal of 9 years. I have two beautiful boys and a new baby girl, ages 8, 2 and 4 months . I Grew up in Willcox, AZ, where I am currently living. I love the small town atmosphere, its a great place to raise my boys. I graduated from Willcox High School in 1994. I went to Glendale Community College, then decided to move back to Willcox. I worked for the Arizona Department of Corrections for 8 1/2 long years, then decided it was time to pursue my dream of owning my own business as a hunting guide and outfitter. I began my business as Wards Outfitters and am proud to say I have been guiding and outfitting full time for 6 years. It's hard work, but.. only working 4 months out of the year sure is nice! During the other 8 months of the year I produce videos for outdoor television shows and scout . I am very lucky to have such an understanding wife who puts up with all my hunting, fishing, spending and snoring! I have a great family and couldn't ask for anything more!
