Hunting Arizona

 

WORLD RECORD!

Hunting Arizona

Arizona is the premiere state in the west for trophy elk with rifle or bow.  Our archery clients hunt during the peak of the rut in September with bugling bulls responding to twenty yards on average.  Some units give hunters the opportunity at tremendous bulls while others are managed for numbers of elk.

Early rifle / muzzleloader season is truly a trophy hunt of a lifetime.  The bulls are still in the peak of the rut with 350+ Boone and Crockett Bulls harvested every year.  The draw odds for this hunt are difficult but the bonus point system increases your chances every year.  The late season rifle elk hunt has much better draw odds, with 300 class bulls as an average.  The elevation for elk hunts ranges from 6000 to 8000 feet in juniper flats to fir / aspen forests.  Most of the hunts are by vehicle into the area and then by foot. 

 

 

Deer Hunting                            

Southwest Outdoors offers two hunts for mule deer.  The first is a rifle hunt on the famous Kaibab plateau, long considered the premier location in the west for trophy bucks.  This hunt takes place in November during the peak of the rut north of the Grand Canyon.  Our success with bucks in the 180 class shows the consistency of mature bucks in the region on this outstanding hunt.

 

Our second deer hunt combines mule deer, coues deer and javelina on an archery hunt taking place in January.  This hunt offers desert surrounding and beautiful weather during the desert rut of deer.  Tags are over the counter (no draw).

 

 

Antelope

The biggest antelope in the west consistently come out of Arizona and New Mexico as the record books will attest.  We offer Arizona rifle and archery hunts in August and September on public and private land.  Both rifle and archery offer an opportunity at incredible trophies scoring in 80+ Boone and Crockett. 

 

Other Hunts

Bighorn sheep, coues deer (rifle) and turkey
