CHASE'N THE KING
It is more than just a hunt. CHASE'N THE KING is based on the idea that hunting is not just about the kill. It is the chase and take of monarchs that reside far from where the average hunter would pursue them. We live, breathe, and bleed hunting. Year round, full time. The saguaro and ocotillo filled desert to the towering ponderosa pine forests. We hunt every bit of Arizona's diverse and brutal landscape. We are an outdoor lifestyle company and big game hunt outfitting and guiding business, primarily focused on Arizona Black Bear, Coues Whitetail, Elk, and Mule Deer hunts. CTK also offers limited Pronghorn Antelope, Javelina, and Mountain Lion hunts. CTK is founded on respect, to the quarry we chase and to God. Together we share a life-long passions for the outdoors, hunting, scouting, and exploring new country. Success in the outdoors during a hunt is not simply about the kill or filling a tag. These things are merely the result of continued and driven work focused on quality experiences, an ethic born of an innate love and passion for God’s creation. Accomplishment is directly proportional to the challenge. Success is in the journey that required the work, it is The Chase. We aim to provide all-around quality hunt experiences that share our expertise and passions with our hunters in a way that honors truth, adventure, honesty, education, and improvement. Our business model disregards the fundamental industry error of size, score, and bragging rights and emphasizes instead on hospitality, accommodation, relationship, communication, and service.
