The hunting here is fantastic though, I can't speak for the most western (central to north) extreme of the state.
Mexico to Utah, New Mexico to the heights above the Colorado river - outstanding.
The elk, mule deer and antelope are usually very well fed resulting in a fine meat.
The topography of the above is one of the great *secrets* of Arizona - stunning.
Add the two factors above together and the scouting alone is its own reward.
Up Apache County, we're over 7,000 feet, snow enough to shame Minnesota and you can *hit water digging a fence post!*
Turkey so thick it makes those east coast turkey hunters all duded-up in ghillie suits look goofy.
Havelina and ground hogs at pest-levels.
Dove, grouse and quail aplenty for the feather-seekers.
I particularly appreciate that Arizona does not generally lend a preference to out-of-state-hunters as some states out here have in the past.
As well - lots of very fine fishing.
