mattys281 Report post Posted April 19, 2015 Theres definetely elk in the mazatzal, but have an evacuation plan ready for when you do drop one. Packing one out alone could kill a guy or at least make you wish you were dead. Thats steep country! Have a good buddy with stout legs on speed dial, or even better, have mulepacker on speed dial and a case of his favorite beer on ice when he gets there.

If you hunt under the Mazatzals you will see some of the coolest country in Arizona. There's stuff out there few people will ever see. Just be prepared to pull some cholla needles out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
