Arizona's Premier Outfitter

Arizona's Premier Outfitter specializes in guided hunts for elk, mule deer, coues deer, and antelope across the majority of Arizona. The operation is built on one principle: quality over quantity. They limit the number of clients each year to ensure serious hunts that produce trophy animals.

Matt Wilson founded the company and serves as lead guide. His team consists entirely of native Arizona guides—people who know their units inside out. The guiding crew works collaboratively, often fielding extra trained eyes and bodies during hunts to increase the chances of finding trophy animals.

"I have worked with hundreds of guides in my career and I know how to judge a great one. These guys are the real-deal." — Terry Gunn, 40-year career fly fishing guide-outfitter
