The statewide 2011 archery hunting season for Elk opened September 9th. Arizona Hunters must posess a Big Game Hunting License issued by the State and awarded on a lottery system. With the hunt in full swing and Bulls in the rut, we hope to see some amazing animals harvested this year. The hunt is open for 2 weeks.
