2015 Arizona Mule Deer Hunts

Well here we are again. It seems like the last deer season just got wrapped up and we are already applying for this years hunts. By the way, the application period is open for paper apps and the online function should be available any day.
2014!  263"

To say we are excited about the upcoming season would be a gross understatement! We are expecting and predicting the best season Arizona has seen in awhile. Why you ask? Well, we have gathered enormous amounts of data over the last 12 years regarding Arizona's trophy deer, how different years precipitation affected antler growth and why it did so. Most think it is as simple as years with rain and snow equal good antlers and years it doesn't rain equals poor antlers. Not quite so simple. In fact some years can grow better antlers with less recorded rain and vice versa. How? Timing is the answer. Timing on when the storms arrived as it relates to the entire antler growth and shedding cycle of the bucks. I will tell you that every ingredient for banner antler growth for this coming season is in place. And not only because AZ is finally having a decent spring green up. But, that is subject for a future blog post. Back to topic...

Still Roaming!

Every Dead Buck On This Page Was Harvested By An A3 Client in 2014!

Every summer in northern Arizona, A3 Trophy Hunts launches its annual scouting program. This program is extensive, labor intensive, full-time and thorough in every unit we guide hunts in. Others attempt to follow our lead, but none have come close to the vast effort we embark on every year. The reason we do it is because we have proven year in and year out that it works. It works because it allows the valuable clients that book with us to be hunting not just big bucks, but THE biggest bucks available in their unit, period. Our mind set is that you will hunt the best bucks alive, and we will never settle for "big enough". We have a current and up to date reference list of hunters that will attest to our operations ability to put you on the biggest bucks alive in your unit. One request and you can be talking directly to the clients we guided in 2014. Just ask for their names. We would be happy for you to talk to them. We believe that they are the best asset we have to convince you to book your deer hunt with us. We have nothing to hide. No shenanigans, no over promised/under delivered hunts, no non-sense. Just hard work directed at the success of your hunt delivered with an honest and unmatched effort.
2014!  195"

2014!  Crazy Mass!

Be it on the Kaibab, the Strip or a common unit, our crew will put you on the best bucks available!


2014!  Smiles abound in A3 camps!

The inventory of big bucks we know to be still alive is at an an all time high. Many huge deer survived the 2014 season and should be even bigger this year. If you book your hunt with us you will arrive to find that we have an exact strategy to put a specific huge buck in front of your weapon. We will have back up bucks as well, lots of them, big ones.
A3 Archery clients don't solely rely on drought conditions and waterhole hunting to kill giant bucks. We will get you in bow range!

2014!  Archery 200" 4x4!

2014!  Archery 204"

2014! Archery Giant 210"+!

2014!  Spot and Stalk

2014!  Archery 204" Spot and Stalk


We often need to switch bucks for many different reasons during the course of a hunt. Again, our scouting program ensures that even if you are down to "Plan C" on your hunt, the buck you will be hunting will still be a true giant. No excuses, just straight up big buck hunting A3 style!
2014!  240"+ X 41"+ wide! Only with A3 do general season hunters get cracks at bucks like this!

Another 2014 general season beast over 250"!!
Consistency is where A3 really sets itself apart. Most outfitters have a big buck or two in their history. We have a proven history of guiding our valuable clients to monster bucks EVERY season. We have also documented it online for several years. Please click the links below to go back and read our history and see the giants bucks we have taken over the years.

2015 Arizona Elk & Antelope Hunting With A3 Trophy Hunts.

With the 2015 Elk and Antelope Application period pending, we wanted to do a post about what we have to offer you in 2015, as well as the success our clients achieved in 2014. The 2014 season was very good to A3 and the valuable clients that trusted us with their priceless tags. A3 Trophy Hunts offers options to fit every hunt and every budget from scouting packages to fully outfitted and guided hunts for all species. We cater to both the newest young hunter and the most serious and seasoned trophy hunter, and everyone in between. We treat every tag with the importance and preparation that it deserves and we feel that between our clients references, and our vast gallery of success photos, our reputation stands for itself. Please enjoy the pictures and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us. We take a limited number of hunters every year and our availability fills quickly every year.

As we have grown from a small time guide service into a full service outfitter serving the whole state, one thing has stayed the same. Each hunt we conduct still receives the personal attention to preseason scouting that we have always provided. With our growth has come increased reach and resource to scout even wider and more thoroughly. This is the single most influential element to our on ongoing success.This has kept our over all hunter harvest at an all time high and the trophy quality of harvested animals at an average not attained with any other outfitters in Arizona.. Our consistent success record over time has shown that the aggressive scouting program we annually employ delivers time and time again for our valuable clientele .Every year we expand and refine it.

The integrity and high standard of our guide team is unmatched, period. We never have and never will hire weekend warrior guides just to get your hunt booked. Each and every guide A3 employed has a specific unit and hunt that they specialize in each season. They do not bounce around the state trying to guide this or that while the scouting suffers and the outcome of the hunt is jeopardized. No sir. Each guides the same hunts every year. Each guide builds annually on the experience that was gained the season prior, ultimately becoming more efficient and deadly every year. New guides have come up through the ranks, starting as assistants, learning our system and eventually becoming guides. Rest assured that any guide we employ is a proven professional.
