2012 Early AZ Elk Hunts

Here are some pics of the bulls that we were fortunate to be a part of on the early AZ elk hunts.  We had a great time, and want to thank those that trusted us with their "tag of a lifetime"!  I also want to thank our guides who work harder than anyone out there, and it shows! We had another good year, with lots of great bulls that we have watched for years being harvested. We were also able to lay eyes on some incredible bulls, some of which we had never seen in person! These bulls did not disappoint and we will be pursuing them next year! 
Here are some pics of the bulls that we were blessed to be a part of. I will save the details of each of them for a later date. We were able to capture some amazing video and kill shots on many of the bulls.  Our average score on the early hunts was almost 370"!  Many of them we have years of trail cam pics and video of as well.
Steve with is opening morning 7x7 archery bull. 
Wendy's 1st elk hunt! She took this monster after many days of hard hunting! Congrats Wendy.
Todd took this great bull, dubbed the "Anteater" by many guides due to his broken nose.
