Quick Tips
The climate is hot, temperatures are warm even in December
Carry plenty of water
Dress in layers as temperatures fluctuate greatly in the desert
Bring a shotgun for great duck, quail and dove hunting
For mule deer, focus along the Colorado River between Ehrenberg and Cibola
Desert bighorn sheep and mule deer live in this long, narrow unit that borders California for more than 70 miles from Parker down the Colorado River to the southern tip of Cibola National Wildlife Refuge. Some of Arizona’s best waterfowl hunting takes place near Cibola.
Hunters enjoy high quality hunting for desert bighorn sheep and challenging hunting for desert mule deer. Navigating is challenging because the landscape is rough and rocky and includes desert flatlands to rugged mountain ranges. There is also good waterfowl hunting in the southern end.
