Another Chance at AZ Big Game!

Western Hunter · May 4, 2012

Didn’t draw for Arizona elk this year? Neither did some of us here at Elk Hunter. We’ve got some great news though- you’ve got another chance. Once a year, the Arizona Big Game Super Raffle draws one winner for each big game species, and that lucky guy or girl gets to hunt for 365 days in any Arizona unit they choose (with some exceptions for the sheep tag).

Here’s how it works- You buy raffle tickets anytime between now and July 8th. Tickets vary in price from $5-$25, and there are packages available (we recommend the “All Eleven” package, which puts you in for all ten hunts, and the two bonus prizes, which we’ll get to in a minute). The raffle includes elk, Coues whitetail, mule deer, antelope mountain lion, big horn sheep, javelina, black bear, buffalo and turkey.

So what are these bonus prizes? They’re BIG that’s what they are. For just $10 you’re entered to win a Swarovski package of your dreams. This package includes binoculars, a spotting scope, a rifle scope, and the new EL Range laser rangefinder. Click here to learn more about the package- it’s worth over $9,00 and it can’t be beat!

The second extra prize is a guided New Mexico elk hunt with West-Tex New-Mex Hunting Services. The package includes lodging, meals, transportation during the hunt, skinning and delivery to meat processor.Â You’ll hunt with a guaranteed bull elk landowner tag in Northern New Mexico in an area with the potential to produce trophy bulls.Â Some of the areas have a good bear density and a bear license is available for purchase over the counter. Dates of the hunt will depend on whether you want to hunt archery, rifle or muzzleloader. Click here to learn more about the hunt.

So remember- with the “All Eleven” Package, you are entered to win all of the hunts, the Swarovski package and the NM elk hunt. You really don’t want to miss any of these opportunities, especially if you were unlucky in Arizona this year. Oh and we almost forgot to mention- all proceeds from the raffle of the tags go straight back to the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Buying these raffle tickets not only put you in the running for the hunt of a lifetime, but they support conservation in Arizona at the same time. It’s a win-win!
