Ralph, left center (with client Dave Baker) and wife Marcy, right have been hunting and fishing Southeast Arizona and neighboring environs together for over 12 years. They have a combined experience in the region of over 30 years.

Established in 2005, Harris Outfitters and guide service is a fully licensed (USFS, BLM, AZ G&F) and insured guiding business. Ralph and Marcy own and operate Gila Outdoor, an specialty retail store in downtown Safford, AZ, which serves as the center and foundation of the outfitting business and allows the Harris' to share their experience and knowledge of the area and native species with customers and friends. Whether it be Coues Deer, Mule Deer, Elk, Bear, Javelina, Turkey, Mountain Lion, Quail, Desert Bighorn Sheep, or Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Harris Outfitters can provide you with experienced guides and a quality hunt. The combination of Harris Outfitters and Gila Outdoor provides customers with an easy, one stop access to the gear and accessories necessary for an enjoyable, safe, and rewarding adventure.

Specializing in the species mentioned above, Harris Outfitters will strive to make your hunt a success by focusing on your specific vision for what the adventure might entail and organizing the trip accordingly. We are versatile and accommodating for all experience levels, aspirations and abilities. Whether you are a seasoned hunter, a youth looking for a quality first hunt, or an inexperienced housewife or mother looking for a new adventure, Harris Outfitters can customize a trip and adapt the hunt strategies that will result in the most fulfilling experience. Our guided excursions are not the typical high pressure, one size fits all, packages that others offer. Thinking about a pack trip into a remote area? Would you rather lead a calm, well trained Llama carrying your gear than ride a horse or mule? Would you prefer to return at day's end to a comfortable camp. Maybe you just want an experienced guide to scout the area and put you in the perfect position to excel at a Do-It-Yourself hunt. Do you have physical challenges that you thought would exclude you from such activity? Give us a call and we will work with you to make that next outing full of the memories to last several life times.

For those looking for hunting adventure in other areas of the United States or even outside our borders, Ralph and Marcy can help you there as well. They have established great relationships with friends around the globe and can organize hunts for Tahr, Chamois, Red Stag, and feral pigs as well as other game in New Zealand. Want to get on the tail of Sambar, Water Buffalo, or Fallow Deer in Australia? Maybe you'd like to try your hand pursuing an Oryx, Kudu, Wildebeest, Duiker or Zebra across Africa's lush and expansive plains.

Or suppose you are interested in hunting other species in the US but just don’t know where to start? These days, the rules and regulations change every year making it a major chore just to keep up with the paperwork and details. Let us help you figure out where to apply for that big Shiras Moose permit. Or say you have a hankering to hunt Sitka Blacktail on Kodiak Island, Alaska. We've been there and done that and can help you get there as well.

Feel like taking an outdoor adventure that doesn't involve hunting. In early spring and summer, take a float down the Gila River through the beautiful Gila Box on a one or two day rubber kayak trip (depending on watershed, floats may also be run in late summer into the fall.
