Field items should be as lightweight as possible. The mountain terrain is no place for heavy gear! 

Hunters driving their own vehicle from home should consider bringing a cooler with ice, especially on warm weather hunts. Upon a successful harvest, you will be transporting your game to the butcher, taxidermist or home. Cooler Sizes: 50qt for Coues deer, pronghorn or javelina, 75-100qt for mule deer, 150qt for elk or bear 

Non-resident Hunters renting a vehicle should  bring a tarp and cooler(s). We are sometimes hours away from any store. Upon a successful harvest, you will be transporting your game to the butcher or taxidermist. 

As a courtesy, we ask that location services be turned off for your phone's camera and photos. For your hunting pleasure, and preservation of our beautiful desert lands, the Aim High team desires to keep our hunting locations less-traveled. If you do not know how to do this, we can help.

The climate in Arizona is very unlike other areas of the country. Humidity is often 5-15% so hydration is very important. Morning temps are usually 35-40 degrees lower than afternoon temps and the winds will make them feel even cooler. The sun is intense during the day, probably more intense than you’re use to. However, once the sun goes down, it will get bone chilling cold, quickly. Therefore, layering is the way to go. Rain and snow are not normal during the fall hunts, but should be expected on the winter hunts (late Nov - Jan). Don’t depend on the forecast for any of the 3 major cities (Tucson, Phoenix or Flagstaff). Mountains have a different microclimate than the lowland cities. However, if rain/snow is forecasted in either of the 3 cities, assume it will rain (warm months) or snow (cold months) in the mountains.
