Help for Inlaw with AZ Unit 27 Bull hunt tag

[lamrith]

Hey all. Hoping someone knows the unit, or maybe knows a good reputable outfitter for Arizona Unit 27? My Stepdad just drew a Rifle bull tag and we want to make sure he gets the hunt of a lifetime as points wise this is likely his last chance to get drawn for this sort of hunt in AZ given the changes in regs down there.

If anyone has ideas, a recommended guide, etc please let me know.

Have him look up Dan Adler, He guides in that unit. That is one of the most sought after tags in Arizona right now.

Thanks Twinkie!

Is 27 a hot unit to draw? He drew it 3-4years ago. Tried to do it on his own and did not turn out well. Saw one bull late on I think day2 as it crossed over opposite ridge, never got a shot and never saw anything the rest of the hunt. Mom and I want to help him get a good guide this time as drawing any rifle bull tag in AZ is tough, let alone getting second chance like this.. I have a bunch of referals now from all you guys and greatly appreciate it.

I would give Duwane Adams a call and ask if he guides during that season. He guides in that area and is one of the best in AZ. http://www.azbiggamehunting.com/

Ive hunted it in archery twice but its totally different in rifle season. I chase bugles DIY in the rough stuff... which doesnt translate to rifle season.
Its not a great unit to glass. If you hear of a guide named Destry- stay away.

Thanks for all the idea folks! Glad to report that my Step-dad has locked in his guide.

Big Thanks to Ed @ Gameplanner for the phone call over the weekend, and look forward to buying one of his maps here soon.
