The Desert mule deer season in southern AZ has been great , We have acquired a new ranch that is loaded with trophy class animals. On average we are seeing 15 to 20 bucks per day some of which are in the 180 class and better. If you are interested in hunting this new ranch in 2012 contact us ASAP because we are only going to harvest five Mule Deer bucks per year. The ranch also holds large numbers of Coues Deer and we will only be harvesting six bucks per year.

Ward’s Outfitters just finished up the first season of Coues deer hunting and our clients harvested some great bucks. We are hunting over 20 sections of private land that produce Coues deer and Mule deer. We hunted three days and glassed up over 35 different bucks. If you have ever considered hunting Coues deer and want to stay in the states this is the hunt for you. Avoid all the crowds on public ground and hunt with Ward’s Outfitters.  

The Arizona Draw results have been posted. If you did not draw a Arizona Coues deer tag don’t be alarmed , Arizona has plenty of left over tags that still will give you a great opportunity to hunt . Contact us and we can help you with the left over tag process.

Arizona is under siege by the ever growing wild fires. Please don’t be alarmed the areas we hunt have not been affected by these fires. The horse shoe 2 fire is burning in the chricahua mountains but has not burned the lands we will be hunting. As a matter of fact it has pushed more animals into the areas we will be hunting in January.

Arizona Is in extreme drought at this time and the wild fires are devastating areas in the south and northern portions of the state. Please don’t be concerned if you have a hunt booked with us .The areas we hunt are not at this time being affected by these wild fires.

We would like to congratulate Tim From Michigan on his first successful Gould’s turkey hunt. We called this 26# tom into only 25 yards on the first morning of his hunt. The bird has a 10.5″ beard and 1″ spurs . Again Congrats to you Tim, we had a great time

It’s time to apply for Az elk. If you have a few bonus points or don’t have any at all , give us a chance to help you draw one of the coveted Arizona tags.Our clients consistently Harvest 320 to 360 class bulls and don’t have to wait 10 years to get a tag. Please contact us at trophyhunts@wardsoutfitters.com 

So it all begins on the 27th , we will have two bow hunters in camp for five day hunts. I will be keeping all of you updated through the end of January , we have 26 hunts to keep you  in tune with. Please keep in mind we will be hunting hard and most of the time we will not have service in the areas we are hunting.  I do head home every night and I will then keep you all in the loop of things.

Thanks and stay tuned for updates!!!!!

With all the land access problems in Southern az I think we did very well , We went 4 for 4 on Mule deer this season and are still maintaing a 100% harvest record for all our rifle hunts, Congrats to all the hunters involved.
