Exclusive Pursuit Outfitters, LLC hasn’t been around for as long as some Arizona Elk Outfitters, but we have been elk hunting and guiding in Arizona for quiet sometime.  We continue to be one of Arizona’s best Arizona Elk Outfitters, because we know elk hunting and we work our butts off to help our limited number of elk hunting clients.

Here are some of the bigger bulls just Lee & I have filmed over the past couple of years:

Walking up to a 408″ Giant Arizona Bull Elk

Post by Exclusive Pursuit Outfitters.

Exclusive Pursuit Outfitters’ recent archery elk client, Jason Bausch, arrowed a giant bull with us in 2014. Walking up on a giant Arizona bull elk is a very surreal experience, even for veteran archery elk hunters.

Arizona Elk Hunt Scouting?

In our minds, there are 3 different types of scouting when it comes to Arizona Elk.

    • Historical Scouting– where you know of different bulls and you know the unit from past experiences.  Each year you check different areas that have held a certain bull or bulls during a certain time period.
    • Early Season-this type of scouting is to just get a grasp on what caliber of bulls are growing and where the cows are pocketed up for the rut seasons.
    • 1 week-the week prior to any Arizona Elk hunt is critical.  Especially, prior to the early Arizona Elk Rut Hunts.  Big bulls will rub of their velvet in mid-August.  These bulls will then travel 5-30+miles while searching for cows.

Below is a big bull we filmed in 2010, this footage was taken during the Early Season scouting phase.  We never found this bull again!
