Why hunt with apo?
"My 21 year-old son and I were both drawn for the Unit 9 late season rifle hunt for bull elk. This is a notoriously challenging hunt, but the upside is a chance at harvesting a true trophy. I have made a four decade career as a fly fishing guide-outfitter and lodge owner and know the value that a good, dedicated guide can bring to any outdoor experience.
I have several friends in the Flagstaff area who are serious hunters and asked them who they would hire if they had this hunt. One name popped up time after time: Matt Wilson. He was universally considered to be the top guide for the area and his company is appropriately named, Arizona's Premier Outfitter.
My initial contact with Matt was positive; I was impressed with his enthusiasm for guiding in this unit along with his candor in reminding me that this was a challenging hunt. What I was not prepared for and did not expect was the involvement of his guiding team members in not only the scouting pre-hunt, but they were there for the hunt as well. Extra trained eyes and bodies can make all the difference in finding a trophy animal. Matt and his team far exceeded our expectations in all aspects of the hunt.
My guide was Matt Wilson; my son's guide was Tyrell Coplan. This was the first bull elk hunt my son and I experienced together and we both harvested a trophy bull. Thankfully, my son's was the better of the two.
Here are a few words that I would use to describe Arizona's Premier Outfitter -- dedicated, professional, devoted, caring, motivated, teamwork, successful.
No big egos here, just a group of hunting-addicted friends who have banded together and have taken guiding to the next level. I have worked with hundreds of guides in my career and I know how to judge a great one. These guys are the real-deal and I would trust them to guide me on any hunt anytime, anywhere ... and you should too.
And one more thing -- they were really a pleasure and fun to hang out with."
