Arizona Unit 22 is in the Mogollon Rim Country of North-central Arizona, and has some excellent hunting opportunities. This unit, as with many of the elk units in Arizona has good elk densities with good trophy quality. It also has some very remote wilderness areas that can provide serious elk hunters with some very high quality, low hunter pressure, trophy elk hunting. Especially during the late season rifle elk hunt in Arizona.
Hunting in Arizona Unit 22
Be prepared to hunt the wilderness. Horses and mules, pack goats or some heavy duty backpacking is a necessity for both getting yourself in and out of the country as well as packing your game out. Whether you are thinking of applying for an early rut archery bull tag, early rifle bull tag, late season archery bull tag, or late season rifle bull elk tag, keep this unit in mind.
