Full description and what we offer
Billy Gonzales started hunting with his grandfather at age six and has spent over 35 years in Arizona's desert hunting Coues deer, mule deer, elk, and other game. After more than a decade as a professional guide, he built AZ B and B Outfitters LLC on one promise: 100% shot opportunity on every hunt. This isn't marketing talk—it's backed by decades of scouting, landowner relationships, and intimate knowledge of game movement patterns across Arizona's varied ecosystems.
"Arizona's ONLY 100% Opportunity Outfitter." Every client gets shot opportunities. Period.
Most outfitters can't guarantee that. Billy's team doesn't just hunt the desert—they live it. They know where trophy Coues bucks bed in December, where mule deer migrate in fall, where elk respond to weather changes, and which ranches hold the best game. This isn't field guessing; it's years of boots-on-ground knowledge.

Hunting Coues deer—the "grey ghost"—with Billy's team means learning to glass vast desert valleys, spot deer at 1,000+ yards, and execute long-range precision shots. These are elusive animals in unforgiving terrain. The guides teach you animal behavior, wind reading, stalk execution, and the patience required to hunt Arizona's most challenging big game.
Mule deer hunts offer choices: hunt trophy mulies with rifle out to 1,000 yards or get close with a bow. Elk hunts target both bulls and cows in prime Arizona terrain. Javelina hunts bring you to the world's largest javelina herds. Turkey hunts use expert calling and decoy strategies for Merriam's and Gould's turkeys.
Sandhill crane hunts—called the "Ribeye of the Sky"—happen from blinds with decoy strategies in Southern Arizona.
