As Hunters accessing Public Lands we should be respectful towards the game,Ladowners who provide access and other Hunters.Here below  are a few points to keep in mind.

  • If someone is in “Your Spot” go find a new one -thus avoiding any confrontations
  • If someone moves in on the area you are hunting turn and head in the opposite direction
  • Keep Your vehicle on the marked  trails.
  • Avoid hunting around Livestock
  • Please pick up your empty shells -its considered litter and its against the law to litter here in Arizona.
  • Pick up other litter in the area -the Quail Gods will smile upon you for doing so.
  • Leave gates how you found them.

Arizona is a remarkable State enjoy the beautiful views,gorgeous sunsets and hospitable weather.Have a great hunt!
