About Our Rocky Mountain Elk Hunts in Arizona

Most important info about these hunts—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.

Summary & Terrain

Rocky Mountain elk hunts in Arizona take place in the northern high country across a mix of public and private lands at elevations from about 7,000 to 8,500 feet. Fieldwork typically spans ponderosa pine and pinyon–juniper woodlands, open sagebrush flats, cedar draws, and high desert benches. Rolling ridgelines and forested slopes offer glassing vantage points as well as rugged terrain for close stalking. Seasonal elk movements see mature bulls shifting from timbered cover into more open country during the rut, creating dynamic hunting opportunities.

Difficulty & Strategy

These hunts demand moderate to robust physical fitness, as covering steep, uneven ground on foot is common. Guided outings emphasize spot-and-stalk techniques, often using bugle and cow calls to draw in bulls within archery or rifle range. Archery hunts typically run mid-September through early October during peak rut activity, when bulls are most vocal. Early-season rifle or muzzleloader trips target post-rut bulls at ambush sites, while late-season rifle hunts rely heavily on long-range glassing and careful stalks, with shots extending beyond 500 yards. Cow-only hunts offer a meat-focused option with generally higher odds of success and less aggressive calling tactics.

Amenities

Rocky Mountain elk hunts in Arizona generally offer a flexible range of lodging options to suit varying comfort levels and logistics. In more remote hunting units, camps are run from classic canvas tents set up near trailheads or water sources—hunters sleep on sturdy cots and should plan to provide their own sleeping bags or pads. In areas closer to roads or staging areas, fully equipped RVs with beds and modern climate-control systems serve as mobile base camps, delivering reliable heat and air conditioning as needed. Some packages do not include accommodations, so hunters must arrange personal camping gear or local lodging when booking those trips. Every hunt is guided one-on-one, ensuring personalized support from setup through trophy recovery. Participants can expect guidance on field dressing, meat care, and trophy handling, with outfitters facilitating transport or local processing of any harvested game.

Season & Additional Info

Hunting seasons vary by weapon and unit but generally span from mid-September through the fall. Daytime temperatures in early season often range in the 60s–70s°F, dropping into the 30s–40s at night, so layered clothing and weather preparedness are essential. Most outfitters provide backcountry camps, trailers, or nearby cabins, along with daily transportation, field dressing, and game retrieval services. Tags and licenses are required, and many units use a draw system—planning well in advance is key to securing the opportunity. These guided hunts combine trophy potential with comprehensive field support for veterans and newcomers alike.

Pricing

Rocky Mountain elk hunts in Arizona run on average about $5,450. Costs vary based on trip length, lodging style and unit remoteness. Entry-level hunts (often 2–3 days) out of canvas tent camps or basic RV setups can start in the low-$4,000s. Mid-range packages, in the $5,000–$6,000 range, typically include upgraded mobile base camps, better terrain access and more extensive field support. Premium hunts—often longer outings in remote units with luxury RVs or cabin lodges—can climb toward $7,000 or more. All rates reflect fully guided, one-on-one service and generally cover guiding fees, field dressing, meat care and trophy handling; licenses, tags, meals and gratuities are frequently extra.

RUT Firearms Bull Elk Hunt, 6-Day
We offer elk hunting primarily on the Coconino National Forest with Flagstaff being the closest major city (sometimes other areas on a case by case basis). The most popular elk hunting timeframe is during the rutting season when bulls and cows are vocal. We conduct an archery rut hunt from mid to late September and an early firearms/muzzleloader rut hunt at the end of September through early October. This is the main part of the rut, so there is usually nonstop action on these hunts. Bulls can fall victim to a call during this timeframe. Nothing gets the blood pumping more than hearing a monster bull elk answer your guide's calls. If luck is on your side, the bull might come charging in for an opportunity to release an arrow. Our archery and early muzzleloader or early rifle elk hunts are conducted mostly in higher timber elevations of 7000 to 8500 ft. Even though hunting is done in September and October, the weather during these hunts are very enjoyable. It can range from 65-75 degrees in the day to 35-45 degrees at night. Complimentary accommodations are in tent camps or camping trailer, depending upon the number of hunters in camp and feasibility. The camp and the hunt area is accessed by SUV or truck and hunting is done on foot. In most cases, elk live in mountainous terrain, so hunters should be physically prepared. Hunters are encouraged to condition themselves to the best of their ability in order to increase their odds for success. If you are looking for a horseback hunt, this is NOT the hunt for you. These three early hunts are placed during the rut when elk are vocal.

Arizona Rocky Mountain Rifle Elk Hunt, 1x1, 6-Day - No Lodging

You will be given the same professional service no matter what the time frame is or the unit you will be hunting in. We offer two types of rifle trips, for those who are lucky enough to draw an early season rifle tag. The early tag hunt will find you setting up on post rut bulls. This hunt is exciting for us as guides to find those bulls finishing up the rut. It is our chance to get within rifle distance of those bulls. Your guide will also utilize calling, spot and stalking, and setting up at strategic ambush sites. If a huge bull is your goal, then this trip will provide you with the opportunity to reach or exceed that goal. Our late season hunt is slower paced than the early season hunt. We will spend time glassing up bulls and then making that stalk of a lifetime. We have done our homework and know just where these bulls go after the mating season has taken its toll on them. As these solitary bulls regain their mass after the rut season, it is not uncommon to find more than one bull though, making this a hunt that will give you the hunter an opportunity to pick your bull. Expect shots out to 800 yards. Our early & late rifle season Arizona bull elk trips are currently running at 100% harvest rate with a 100% shooting opportunity.
