Bear Hunt

My daughter and I just returned from our hunt with Kettle River Guides and Outfitters. They provided a hunt for my daughter and I that she will remember for the rest of her life. She got her bear the last day, just before we were going to go home, but that morning before breakfast she told me it was one of the greatest trips we had ever gone on. (So it wasn’t all about coming home with a bear) We saw many bears and had multiple opportunities that just did not come together for a 10 year old on a first hunt. The guides never gave up and with a group effort helped Ashley harvest her first bear just hours before we left for home. I should also add, they treated my daughter like a princess the entire week and provided a comfortable and respectable atmosphere that was just the thing for a young hunter.

Arizona has lots of trophy big game but is probably best known for its trophy elk and mule deer. This partially due to the limited number of tags available.
