Arizona Game Management Unit (GMU) 4A is located west of Unit 4B, with the two sub-units divided by the narrow, deep Chevelon Canyon. Unit 4A shares similar terrain and habitat with the nearby units along the Mogollon Rim. The higher elevations feature mixed conifer and Ponderosa Pine forests, while the lower areas are characterized by Pinyon-Juniper landscapes. The unit receives sufficient and dependable precipitation, ensuring consistent archery elk hunting each year.
How does the Archery Elk Hunt in Unit 4A compare to other units?
In dense timber, the primary elk hunting strategy involves calling bulls into close range. Due to the flat terrain, glassing is rarely used as a technique, which often deters inexperienced elk hunters. With significantly less recreational pressure than neighboring units 4B and 5A, elk hunting in unit 4A provides a more secluded and relaxed environment. The trophy potential is similar to other units in the area, with 280"-330" class bulls being a reasonable expectation when hunting with an experienced outfitter like CHASE'N THE KING. "If we can hear them, we can kill them!" Unit 4A is underrated as a quality elk hunting location.
