Mountain Lion
Hunts of a Lifetime is proud to offer Dry Ground Mountain Lion hunts for trophy Mountain Lion throughout southern Arizona. Our hounds are excellent at tracking the elusive cougar on dry ground in the mountains of southern Arizona. We have taken cats recently ranking as high as #4 SCI. These hunts are offered one on one for horseback and on foot for only the strong at heart. Our hunts are highly successful but very strenuous. If you are in for a real challenge, let Hunts of a Lifetime take you on a Mountain Lion hunt Southwestern Style!!!

Coues Whitetail
Four-day trophy hunts offered in several mountain ranges in Arizona in the Coronado, Tonto and Sitgreaves National Forests or on private ranches in search of the beautiful and elusive deer commonly known as the "Gray Ghost". These are our most popular hunts and are guided one on one or two on one from very remote base camps only accessible by 4 x 4 vehicle or by backpack. We have taken numerous outstanding deer on these highly successful hunts with three of our bucks ranking in the top ten SCI and many others making the record books. These hunts require our hunters to be in excellent physical condition known as "sheep shape". Permits are issued by draw only for rifle or muzzleloader hunts and over the counter for archery. Additional days may be added at $500.00/day.

NOTE: Whitetail hunters should also see the package hunt offered later in this packet for outfitted camps with other hunters.

Elk
Seven day hunts in the mountains of Northern and Eastern Arizona for the largest Elk in the world. We have taken several outstanding bulls on these hunts in the last three years including the former Safari Club International #1 Non-Typical Archery bull and two other top ten Safari Club bulls. Early hunts with muzzleloader or archery tackle are during the rut and provide the most exciting hunting. These hunts are guided one on one out of wall tent base camps reached by 4 x 4 vehicles. Additional days may be booked at $500.00/day per hunter. These hunts are also offered on a two on one basis at a reduced rate, which may be negotiated at the time of booking. Most permits for these hunts can be difficult to draw depending upon the hunters weapon and season of choice

Black Bear
Four-day hunts along the Mogollon Rim of central Arizona and several of southeastern Arizona 's mountain ranges. These hunts are conducted like no other bear hunts in the world in that the bears are hunted in the cactus while they eat the delicious fruit of the prickly pear cactus. On occasion, we have seen in excess of fifteen bears a day during this brief phenomenon of late summer. Our hunting techniques are very similar to our Coues deer hunts with big optics and remote country being the key. In 1999, we took eight bears with one behemoth topping the scales at over 550 pounds. If you like exciting hunts, hunting in shorts, and you can stand August in Arizona , this is the hunt for you! These permits are available over the counter and our bears are huge, so be sure to book early to ensure your spot in the books!

Rocky Mountain Mule Deer
Five-day Rifle hunts or five day Archery hunts in Northern and Eastern Arizona. This hunt also includes the famed North Kaibab if a true MONSTER is what you are after. All rifle hunts are by draw and archery hunts are over the counter. These hunts are guided one on one from wall tent base camps accessed by 4 x 4 vehicles. These hunts are also offered on a two on one basis at a reduced rate, which may be negotiated at the time of booking. Additional days may be added at $500.00/day per hunter. Some rifle hunts may be difficult to draw ( North Kaibab hunts).

Desert Mule Deer
Five-day hunts in Southeastern Arizona on public land, private ranches, or National Forest land for this desert dwelling Mule Deer sub-species. These hunts are guided one on one from easily accessed wall or dome tent base camps. We have taken some outstanding bucks on these hunts in recent years. Rifle permits are issued by draw only and archery permits are available over the counter. Additional days are available at $500.00/day. This hunt is also offered on a two on one basis at reduced rates to be negotiated at time of booking. In 2001, our hunters took three Top Ten SCI Muzzleloader Desert Mule Deer including the new #1 SCI. Success in 2001 was 100% with all hunters harvesting their deer on the first hunt day.

Antelope
Three-day hunts for animals with magnificent heads. Arizona has the largest antelope in the world, but is one of the toughest states in which to draw a permit. These hunts are guided one on one from dome tent base camps or hotels. Additional days are available at $350.00/day/hunter. These hunts are also available on a two on one basis at slightly reduced rates negotiable at time of booking.

Javelina
This minimum two day hunt is one of our favorites. We hunt out of base camps accessible by 4 x 4 vehicles in the mountains of southeastern Arizona . The archery hunt in January can be paired with archery Coues Whitetail or Desert Mule Deer for a slight additional fee negotiable at time of booking. These hunts are designed for either one on one or two on one and usually involve groups of up to six hunters. Javelina permits are issued by draw only with an October application date; however, some permits are often available first come/first served up until the day of the hunt. Large groups of up to fifteen hunters can be accommodated on an outfitted camp/limited-guiding basis depending upon availability.

Turkey
These minimum two day hunts in Northern and Eastern Arizona and private ranch land in southwestern New Mexico occur during the peak of the breeding season in April and May. This hunt pairs the hunter against the gobbler at very close range with excited birds ready for love. (Nothing compares to a strutting, drumming, gobbling Tom at ten paces except for maybe a rut crazed bull Elk screaming in your direction while you are at full draw) All hunting is done by calling only. We will not allow rifle hunting for turkeys on our hunts due to safety reasons. These hunts are conducted from wall or dome tent base camps accessed by 4 x 4 vehicles. Permits are by draw in Arizona (October application date) and are over the counter in New Mexico. A second bird may be harvested in New Mexico for a slight additional fee negotiated at time of booking. These hunts are guided one on one but two on one is available at a reduced rate negotiable at time of booking. Hunters should be in good to excellent condition as some sprinting may be involved in a successful harvest. Note: Hunter education is recommended but not required for Turkey hunting.

Outfitted Whitetail Camps
We usually offer at least one outfitted/limited guiding hunt for Coues Whitetail during one or more of the fall Rifle Whitetail hunts in Arizona . These hunts usually involve a remote base camp with wall tents and dome tents and attract groups of four to twelve hunters. These camps are reached by four wheel drive vehicles and are staffed by at least two licensed professional guides and usually at least one cook. These hunts are very enjoyable and usually very successful. Most hunters return year after year and always go home happy. This hunt is very affordable and is offered at $1000.00/hunter for four-day hunts of six hunters or less. For groups of seven to ten, the rate is $800.00/hunter, and for groups of eleven or more, the rate is $600.00/hunter. Please call for availability and for season dates prior to the application dates of Arizona.
