I wonder if the Arizona Game and Fish Department will do anything at all to help rectify this situation? Trouble is likely ahead. Permit numbers were already determined and published before this new Boquillas Ranch edict came out, just like the last time the Ranch pulled this trick on the...

Try the area east of Anvil Rock Road and south of the powerlines (the unit boundary). Also look at Bozarth, Contreras and Behm Mesa's north and east of Bagdad. The Pine Creek area is also worth checking out. Good Luck!

Try the portion of Unit 19B on Prescott National Forest lands east of the Williamson Valley road, starting about 15 miles south of Seligman and work all the country south to the big powerlines. There are some big limestone mesas and deep canyons that drain off to the east towards Big Chino...

After applying for 21 years I finally drew a Unit 10 rifle Antelope tag! Yahoo!

In November, 2006 (not sure if there are any changes since then) I was able to get a signal from the main road on the north side of the high point on Poverty Mountain and from a spot on the bench near the Grand Gulch Mine.

Much of Unit 19B has been lost to ranch closures. Possibly the best remaining area is along the west boundary from about Road 5 south to Walnut creek. Much of this is on Prescott Nat'l Forest land open to public access. There is some walk-in to make it interesting. Some decent bucks have come...

Congrats! You will want to check out the very northwest corner of Unit 17A around the New Water Camp on the Yavapai Ranch. It is a checkerboard of USFS and private land and all open to hunting.

Ben Shelby is the AZGFD W. M. for Unit 10. Contact him through the Kingman office at (928) 692-7700.

You might want to look within 10 miles or so of the town of Williams in the southeast corner of the unit. The highest deer density in Unit 10 occur in this area. Check out Three Sisters, Hearst Mountain, Kaibab Hill and all the area nearby. There will be a good number of younger bucks...

Check out Randy Bryant from Seligman (Bryant Guide and Outfitter Service). He has hunted Unit 9 very successfully in the past and is a great guy to get along with. You should also check out Don Martin from Arizona Wildlife Outfitters in Kingman. Both are great.

Unit 10 has many good camping and hunting areas. If you are looking to get familiar with the unit I would recommend spending each night in a different area just so you can get a look at a lot of country. You might like to camp in the Pine Canyon area north of Pica Camp in the Aubrey Cliff area...

Try the north end of unit just south of the headquarters or around Happy Camp, New Water or Deep Well. Look on a Prescott National Forest map. You can access all 4 areas off of Roads 1 and/or 2, south of the headquarters off the Williamson Valley Road. Headquarters is about 15 miles south of the...

Thanks for the tips, guys. I settled on a Hornady 250 grain low drag sabot powered by 100 grains of Pyrodex in pellets. My first shot at game resulted a dandy Javelina boar. A fun way to hunt.

It's not hard to draw a decent tag for a Coues Whitetail in AZ. There are many hunts from October into December with the December hunt being the most difficult to draw. The earlier hunts can be very good. You should probably get a tag the first year if you aren't too picky. There are some...

I recieved a Traditions Timber Ridge 209 Muzzleloader for Christmas. It was a package deal from Cabela's. It's my first muzzleloader and a gift from my wife. I've only shot it a few times and so far it is pretty accurate. Does anyone have any experience with this particular rifle? How about...

How about a contest asking participants for the tag number in the draw for their particular hunt. Here in Az every tag is numbered as it is drawn. "Who got the lowest tag number?"

How does your state draw for big game permits or tags? Do you like the way it works? Do you have to buy a hunting license and put up tag money when or before you can apply? How do you accrue bonus or preference points? How do your bonus or preference points increase your chance to draw a permit...

Drove by on I-40 this morning. Looks like the fire has laid down. The firefighters have done a good job. The fire was located just south of I-40 from the the Williams District Ranger Station back west towards Devil Dog Road. It did not come over the hill into Williams. It burned part way up...

Try the area around Truxton Flat. This is mostly BLM land open to hunting. There is a ridge running east-west south of Truxton and south of the tracks that is worth hunting. Also the ridges and canyons west of Wright Creek always hold deer. It's tough hunting. I have a tag there also, maybe we...

Try the west side of the unit along Cataract Canyon from Redlands north to the Supai Res boundary. Hit all the points and little draws/canyons that pour into Cataract. Not a lot of deer but every once in a while you'll find a decent buck.

There are two areas in Unit 10 that hold fair deer populations, the Aubrey Cliffs north of Pica Camp and the Williams Corner, just northwest of the town of Williams. To hunt the Aubrey Cliffs, go to Pica Camp off of HWY 66 at about mile post 123. Sign in at Pica Camp at the Game and Fish...

The guys above are right. Unit 10 is big country and the deer are scattered. The two main areas of deer concentration are the Aubrey Cliffs from Seligman to the Hualapai Reservation line and the Williams Corner. Deer can be located in other areas as well but densities can be very low. And...

You guys are in for a good hunt! There are a lot of bulls and some pretty good ones out there this year. One more thing about hunting Unit 10, be ready and willing to move. Don't set up a big, fancy, permanent camp. Go where the elk are. You might try hunting some of the more open country...

Unit 18A has a relatively low density deer population, but as suggested above, 15-20% hunt success is not out of the ordinary. There definitely are a few good bucks taken out of this unit every year, but the hunting is tough. You will likely earn a buck if you get one. The area surrounding...

I admit, I drew a 13B tag this year with my long time hunting partner, my oldest son and my grandson, 4 tags altogether. I am really getting enthused about this hunt. I've been to the Strip a time or two but never to hunt for myself or family. We are all looking forward to it, plan to do some...

The hunt in Unit 10 should be very good this year. Lots of bulls in the mid-300's and some better. The Williams corner on the Kaibab National Forest should be good for bulls. Try Hearst Mtn, Mesa Tank, Paradise Ridge. The center portion of the unit is good around Mt Floyd, Trinity (but not on...

I have followed the results of the Montoya/Taulman (USO)lawsuit with great interest. I am an Arizona resident and I may be a little prejudiced when I see what has transpired the past few days, although I'm trying to keep an open mind. It is true that I haven't drawn a bull elk tag since 1990...

I would personally like to thank all those who particpated in the Boquillas Ranch Clean-Up Project. Those of us who live closeby appreciate your help. This is in our "backyard" and it is our "Playground", so to speak, but it is also one of the favorite hunting areas here in Arizona. It is...

Hey Guys! Any takers out there? We really could use your help. This could be a good way to get to know some really good elk country.

I talk with a lot of hunters from all over the country every year about hunting elk, deer and antelope in Arizona's Unit 10. Many want to hunt on the Boquillas Ranch and it's great country for sure. The Boquillas Ranch takes in the west half of Unit 10. A lot of other folks come here to hunt...

The Boquillas Ranch sits north of the town of Seligman in Northwest Arizona in Unit 10. It covers approximately 730,000 acres. The Navajo Nation owns almost 500,000 acres mixed with 230,000 acres of Arizona State Trust land. The Ranch is open to public access due to an access agreement and a...

Unit 10 is a very good unit for big bucks, but then so are most of Arizona's antelope units. Permits are down compared to historical levels due to years of very poor fawn survival. Buck:doe ratios are on the mend and permits will likely increase in the not too distant future. Drought, poor...
