ARIZONA TROPHY ELK
14 Day Private Land Bowhunt in Unit 18B ~ $23,000
The Draw Deadline Is February 11th
Arizona Trophy Archery Elk Hunting for most of us will be a once in a lifetime experience. We have an outfitter in Arizona that we have been representing for over a decade and in our opinion has some of the very best archery Elk hunting in THE WEST PERIOD. First and foremost this outfit is run by a bowhunter and his staff are talented bowhunting guides as well. This is critically important when it comes to tough to draw states like Arizona. Their track record speaks for itself as they run 100% shot opportunity on trophy bulls every year. Choosing to hunt with an outfitter with a deep rooted love for bowhunting and a successful track record like this is paramount in putting your years and years of bonus points to the best possible use. This is exactly why we recommend hunting here. It will take approximately 18 points or so to guarantee the tag but its well worth the wait and investment I can assure you.
As noted above for most non-residents getting an archery tag during the rut in September will take many years worth of points. Every single year we hear horror stories of how someone got a tip on an outfitter in another unit that took less points and just wanted to finally hunt Arizona. As often is the case this doesn’t go very well and much of the time leads to a small bull or no opportunity at all. DON’T WASTE YOUR YEARS OF POINTS! You will not get them back.
Our outfitter hunts a large piece of private land (over 250,000 acres) in unit 18B. They have incredible genetics on the place and the very strict management of the ranch has lead to an amazing older age class of bulls. YOU WILL SEE AND ENCOUNTER SOME SMASHERS! Another huge benefit is the length of time given to each client. With being able to hunt for a full 14 days, even if mother nature throws a weeks worth of bad weather at you…you are still getting plenty of time to close the deal on a giant of a lifetime. This can pay HUGE DIVIDENDS in the grand scheme of things. Another benefit is that these hunts are FULLY GUIDED 1 ON 1. So it will just be you and your guide going after one of the many big bulls that call this ranch home.
Hunting can be a mix of spot and stalk, calling and sitting water. It all depends on the given situation while you are there. Shots can be top pin but prepare yourself to shoot out to 50-60 yards if possible just in case. Weather can be hot and dry to cold and possibly even some afternoon thunder showers so be ready to hunt hard no matter what comes your way. All meals and lodging are included and you will have what you need to be out in the wilds of AZ pursing these giant Elk. Keep in mind that the deadline to apply for these tags is February 11th each year.
There are so many options for Arizona and a lot of outfitters these days. ALL of them want your business. We know you are looking for an outfit who WILL PRODUCE the shot opportunities you are looking for at the BIG BULLS that Arizona has become famous for. We have that covered for you with numerous references for this outfitter to back it up. Yes this is a more expensive hunt. Yes you can find a lot cheaper. You won’t find better or a track record like this. We know what’s out there and have spent many years researching and seeking out the best AZ has to offer. Please contact us to discuss this opportunity in detail and don’t cash in your hard earned expensive points before you do. We can put them to good use and provide you a hunt for the bull of your dreams. There are only 3 non-resident archery Elk tags for this unit and the spots always go quickly as soon as the draw results come out. So please contact us to begin the process of getting your spot if you have points built up in Arizona. We look forward to arranging a true ONCE IN A LIFETIME Bow and Arrow Adventure!
