Hunting Season

Be aware! It is now hunting season on the SRER!

For personal safety, it is recommended to wear high-visibility clothing when visiting the SRER.

We also ask that all hunters do their part in keeping the SRER, clean, safe, and accessible for all. Please dispose of all carcasses in accordance with AZGFD regulations, operate vehicles only on designated roadways, remove all trigger trash and be mindful of private property boundaries and research infrastructure.

Target shooting is always prohibited on the SRER.


 

The SRER operates as part of the Arizona State Land system, as a result, hunting is permitted on the SRER with a valid Arizona hunting license and hunt permit pursuant to Arizona Game and Fish Department regulations and policy. A variety of game species both large and small live on the SRER. Hunting for small game may occur throughout the year on the SRER, however, August-December receives the bulk of the hunting activity for permitted large game seasons.

Both hunters and visitors are encouraged to review the Arizona Hunt Season Schedule, Rules, and Regulations as well as Hunt Guidelines and Recommendations on the Arizona Game and Fish Department website for additional information on hunting activity prior to your visit.
