Over the Counter (OTC)

NO POINTS! - NO DRAW! - NO TROPHY FEES!

There are a lot of bulls ranging from 260" to 350" in the areas we hunt, with the possibility of larger. We consider any branch bull a mature bull but we will always put in every effort to get you on the best quality bull in the area.

River Queen

Picture a lead cow in the distance, directing a herd of younger cows, calfs and spikes to a grazing area or a lost cow trying to rejoin the herd. A combination of spot/stalk and ambush style hunting, this hunt is sure to be memorable. Expect longer shots in the 200-500 yard range with occasional shots under 100 yards.

River King

An old herd bull wandering through the dense Tamarack trees and into the deep sandy washes, seeking seclusion, seeking safety for the winter months. A young satellite bull searching for others, looking for a bachelor herd to join up with until the next rut. Maybe a bachelor herd hanging out under the cottonwood trees. Not as action packed as the rut but make no mistake, this hunt can be just as exhilarating. Expect shots in the 200-500 yard range with occasional shots under 100 yards.

Wounded Animal Policy

Although there is no law in AZ for wounding animals, F.A.T.S.O. Guide Service and our guides have made the ethical decision to uphold this policy to the highest standard. If an animal has been wounded in a way that is apparently lethal, then the hunt is over. In the end it is up to the guide and outfitter's discretion,  as we have the ethical responsibility to lethally-wounded wildlife. We will put in every effort to get you another shot at wounded animals and retrieve your game during the hunt.
