2019 HUNT REPORT

Our 2019 season was great as we had good success rates and took our biggest bull ever out of the Gila

Wilderness. Antler growth was really good and the big bull was taken on the second rifle season and

scored an amazing 415 gross. We took 6 bulls out of 7 hunters on our two seasons of rifle hunting.

On the first week archery hunt we took a 373 bull. Our archery hunters took 5 bulls out of 12 hunters on

three weeks, with some missed shots and stuck bulls that got away.

Elk numbers were good and a lot of bulls were seen with every hunter having some action.

The high country of the Gila is getting harder and harder to hunt due to the Locust sticker brush, aspen

regeneration and fire killed tree downfalls, but the elk are doing good there.

Our hunts continue to be pack-in by horseback and pack mule into more remote portions of the Gila

Wilderness and hunt out of quality wall tent camps. We have some of the best guides in the business to

insure you a quality wilderness elk hunting experience in some really rough country that continues to

produce some big bulls.

Next year will be our 34th year operating in the Gila Wilderness. Our many years of experience there

gives our hunters an advantage over our competitors.
