Hunt regulations are online; applications being accepted
Deadline to apply is June 8; correction period ends May 27
|
Don’t get too comfortable. Avoid the “deadline day dash” where there is always a string of cars and trucks trying to make the 7 p.m. deadline. Besides saving gas, time, and frustration, there is another benefit to applying early.
If you apply early, you can take advantage of the correction period. Here is how it works: If your application has a mistake and is received before May 27 at 5 p.m. MST, the department will attempt to call you three times in a 24-hour period and give you the opportunity to correct the mistake. After that date, mistakes can cause your application to be rejected.
Mistakes happen more often than you think. Some of the most common errors that cause an application to be rejected are wrong payment amount, missing payment, missing signature, using the wrong hunt number information, or using the wrong hunting license. No one is perfect – we’ve all made mistakes on our hunt application. But do you really want to miss out on that deer tag because you didn’t fill out the application correctly?
The 2010-11 Arizona Hunting and Trapping Regulations and application forms are now available at the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s website at www.azgfd.gov/draw.
Hunters interested in a permit-tag for fall deer, bighorn sheep, fall buffalo, fall turkey, juniors-only fall javelina, or pheasant (antelope and elk took place in February) are required to submit a paper application for the drawing process.
The deadline to apply for a fall hunt permit-tag, issued through the draw, is Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 7 p.m. MST. Applications may be hand delivered to any of the seven department offices or sent by U.S. mail to Arizona Game and Fish Department, Attn.: Drawing Section, PO Box 74020, Phoenix, AZ 85087-1052 before the deadline. Postmarks do not count.
There is no online application process available.
Printed copies of the 2010-11 Arizona Hunting and Trapping Regulations booklet, applications and envelopes are anticipated to be available statewide at license dealers and department offices no later than May 21.
Be sure to read the ‘Important Information for 2010-2011’ on page 3 for changes from last year. And if you know a youngster, check out the ‘Youth Opportunities’ section for juniors-only hunts and a list of sportsmen’s-group-sponsored “first-time hunter” hunting camps and juniors-only events.
Lady bugs have returned to the mountains: It’s trout time
|
The lake openings are coming a little late this year, thanks to abundant snow pack. This bodes well for superb trout fishing throughout the year.
Abundant snow pack means full lakes, rushing streams, replenished aquifers, saturated soils, intense insect production, excellent mast crops, and all of the other ingredients needed for dynamic food chain production and reproduction in both the aquatic and terrestrial environments.
Here’s the low down.
Willow Springs opened last week, was stocked, and will be stocked again this week. The road is now open all the way into Woods Canyon Lake. The country store is open, and boat rentals are available. Plus, the air temperatures this weekend are expected to soar into the 70s along the Mogollon Rim.
Highway 261 and Forest Road 249 are open from Eagar and Alpine, respectively, into Big Lake and Crescent. Highway 273 is closed due to snow drifts. Expect lots of nice hold-overs at Big Lake, but it is likely that Crescent experienced a winter fish kill. Department biologists are surveying Crescent this week to determine the fishery’s condition, and stockings will resume shortly thereafter.
Fishing is fair to good at Big Lake. The lake is 40-percent ice covered, but will probably be 100-percent open by the end of this week. Try worms, Power Bait, salmon eggs, lures such as Z-Rays, KastMasters, Super Dupers, spinners, and Rapalas, and flies like wooly worms and wooly buggers, peacock ladies, and nymphs. Access to boat ramps will be confirmed this week; call the Pinetop Regional Office at (928) 367-4281 for updates.
Whitehorse Lake near Williams opened Saturday and is being stocked this week. Dogtown and Kaibab have both been open for a few weeks and have been liberally stocked. Both of these lakes also have larger hold-over trout as well.
Marshall Lake near Flagstaff is accessible and was stocked with grayling last week – it’s a stunner right now. Kinnikinick is the land of the larger hold-overs, including some nice browns. It is a good place to escape the crowds, but plan to be self-contained – it has bare minimum amenities.
Long Lake is accessible, is being stocked, and likely has large hold-over trout and even larger northern pike, but anglers so far this season have not cracked its secret. You might be the one.
Rose Canyon, perched on the Catalina Mountains above Tucson, opened last week and has been stocked with rainbows.
All of the Greer Lakes are open and have been stocked. River Reservoir is likely the best producer. The Little Colorado River in Greer is still running a little high, but it is fishable.
The East Fork of the Black River and West Fork (lower end) are now accessible from Alpine. The East Fork has been stocked with native Apache trout. If you travel below Buffalo Crossing, you might even find a larger brown trout lurking in some deep pool where Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep come to drink.
Kaibab and Dogtown have both been open for a couple of weeks and have been stocked liberally (plus they have larger hold-over trout).
Lower Lake Mary is going gangbusters – it is up to around 600-plus surface acres, has received several trout stockings, and will continue to be stocked. The productivity of this ephemeral lake is phenomenal – the trout will grow so fast, they will develop shoulders and look like footballs.
But, the fishing right now can be slow because there is so much natural foodstuffs to gobble down. Try reaction baits, like in-line spinners.
Plus, Upper Lake Mary is full and has been spilling. Anglers here have been doing well on big toothy northern pike. Do not ignore the walleye here.
On the downside, there is bad news for Ashurst. The recent Game and Fish survey here turned up one live rainbow trout, but nets full of huge northern pike, with the dominant size class being 10-plus pounds.
This trout fishery is in dire trouble from these toothy monsters. Please go catch and keep all the pike you can from Ashurst – it needs your angling help. Think spinners or anchovies (or both). Trout-like swim baits can also work.
Show Low Lake and Fools Hollow are full, have been stocked, and are providing some good action for rainbows, but they also harbor another interesting species -- walleye. Our surveys show there is another state record lurking in Show Low Lake.
Desert Impoundments
For the warmwater lakes, the Palo Verde trees are blooming, which is a clear sign from nature that it is topwater time in the desert impoundments.
Expect to find plenty of post-spawn fish getting active and chasing shad at the surface at first and possibly last light.
You will also find largemouth bass still on beds, but those beds will typically be in deeper water where it is much more difficult to sight fish them.
If you can find the beds, cast to the deeper adjacent water with the most obnoxious creature bait in your tackle box.
Yet there are still largemouth bass that are staging for the spawn, or still holding deep in the cold depths. Bucketmouths have prolonged spawns, and it is not unusual to find some stray spawns in July and even August.
If the winds cooperate, this is a good time for a trip to Alamo, Havasu, Martinez Lake, Mead, Mohave or Willow Beach. They are all providing some very good fishing opportunities. It sounds like the monster stripers have migrated up to Willow Beach from Mohave -- grab your swim baits.
Lake Powell this year is an angler’s dream. It could very well be providing some of the best angling in the West for striped bass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and walleye.
Roosevelt and Bartlett should really turn on. Pleasant has been an on-again, off-again hot spot for a couple of months. If you hit it right (and fish it right), you can haul in a bonanza of stripers, largemouths and even smallmouths.
But do not ignore Saguaro, Canyon and Apache. This Salt River trilogy stair-stepping down from Roosevelt can all be spring fishing dreams.
San Carlos is also on the comeback trail and is providing nice action for crappie. Alamo has been windy, but when fronts are not moving through the state, this can easily become a hot spot for bass, crappie and channel catfish.
Arizona Big Game Super Raffle benefits state’s wildlife
To increase your odds of getting a big game tag, and possibly one of a lifetime, take part in the Arizona Big Game Super Raffle.
There are 10 special big game tags (issued by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission), and every dollar raised by these tags goes directly toward management projects that benefit that species in Arizona. Winners will be able to hunt for 365 days almost anywhere in the state of Arizona during the 2010-2011 hunting season. Tickets range from $5-25.

Enjoy a day in the outdoors at the Payson Wildlife Fair
|
“This is a great way for the family to spend a Saturday,” says Natalie Robb, Arizona Game and Fish Department wildlife manager in the Payson sector. “Parents and kids can fish, play games and get a close-up look at a lot of amazing animals.”
Live animals on display will include birds of prey, rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, prairie dogs and an alligator. Fair visitors can also test their skills at the casting booths, pellet gun and archery ranges, and they can visit booths from a variety of conservation groups, including the Arizona Pointing Dog Club, Phoenix Herpetological Society, Payson Flycasters, and Arizona Falconers Association, to name a few.
Green Valley Lake will receive more than double its normal stocking of trout in preparation for this event. The park typically receives about 300 pounds of trout per stocking. For this event, 800 pounds of fish will be released into the lake prior to the fair. No fishing license is required for fair attendees, and equipment and bait can be borrowed from the free fishing booth at the fair.
The Payson Wildlife Fair is a cooperative effort between the Arizona Game and Fish Department, USDA Forest Service, Mogollon Sporting Association, and Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department.
Green Valley Park is located at 1000 W. Country Club Drive in Payson (take State Route 87 to Main Street and go west approximately one mile).
Critical bighorn sheep water catchment repaired just in time for the dry season
Local conservation organization, state and federal wildlife agencies work together for iconic species of the desert Southwest
|
This water site is a rock tinaja and critical water source for bighorn sheep in the northeastern part of the Refuge. This tank started leaking last year and required aerial hauling of water in August to maintain a supply of drinking water to wildlife. Even after rains filled the tank this winter, almost all the water was lost due to leakage.
The backbreaking efforts of 57 ADBSS volunteers made this repair possible. The work consisted of removing and storing the water that was left in the tank, then cleaning out all the gravel and mud, and then applying a coat of sealant to the bedrock. After completion, the salvaged water was returned to the repaired tank and should last well into the summer.
Due to being located in the Kofa Wilderness, the project required following National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) processes for a categorical exclusion to conduct the maintenance on this critical natural bedrock pothole which has been in place since 1939 when the Refuge was established. Click here to read the project description and planning documents.
The Kofa desert bighorn sheep herd, one of the primary reasons for the establishment of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge in 1939, was once one of the most robust herds in the nation and has been a critically important source of transplant sheep for restoring desert bighorn sheep to Arizona and other southwestern United States mountain ranges for 51 years. Historically the Refuge has been home to a population averaging 760 bighorns. However, the population suffered a serious decline in 2006 reflecting a historic low estimated population of 390 animals. The 2009 survey of the herd was at 410 animals.

Free wildlife viewing event demystifies the Valley’s bats
Bats have an undeserved bad reputation. But, do you know all of the good things they do, like eating pesky mosquitoes and flies? The Arizona Game and Fish Department invites you to attend one of the free bat viewing events being held throughout the summer to learn more about these shy, misunderstood creatures. The first viewing event will be held on Wednesday, May 19, at 7:15 p.m.
The events will provide an opportunity for the public to watch an amazing sight as thousands of Mexican free-tail bats exit their roost for the evening at Phoenix’s largest bat colony, near the Biltmore area. The programs begin with a talk by bat biologists and an opportunity to see live bats up close. Participants will then observe the mass exodus using special ultrasonic sound equipment to hear the bat’s inaudible echolocation sounds.
“So many people have only heard bad things about bats, and they aren’t aware of the good things they do that impact us every day,” says Angela McIntire, Arizona Game and Fish Department bat management coordinator. “They provide free pest control by eating literally tons of insects that damage agricultural crops and that are a nuisance in our backyards. And, few Valley residents know that they have a great wildlife viewing opportunity so close to home.”
Additional bat viewing events will be held on:
- Tuesday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m.
- Friday, July 9 at 7:30 p.m.
- Friday, Aug. 6 at 7:15 p.m.
- Friday, Sept. 3 at 6:45 p.m.
Arizona is home to 28 bat species, including two species that are nectar-feeders and pollinate plants like the saguaro and agaves. Mexican free-tailed bats are found throughout Arizona in the summer and most migrate south in the winter. It has a wingspan of 11 to 13 inches, and it roosts in caves, tunnels, and crevices in tunnels, bridges and buildings. Bats are most frequently observed between April and October, but many species are active year-round in the state. They are the only mammal that can truly fly and, contrary to popular myth, bats are not blind.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet some of the Valley’s more secretive residents. The events are free to the public. Educators are also encouraged to attend and receive continuing education credit.
The Maricopa County Flood Control District partners with the department to host the workshops.
Those attending an event should park at the commercial building located at 2400 E. Arizona Biltmore Circle. The building is on the northeast corner of 24th Street and Arizona Biltmore Circle, just south of Lincoln Drive. The event will take place on the southwest corner of that intersection at the Maricopa County Flood Control District Tunnel, next to the Squaw Peak Police Precinct. It will be marked with signage. The public is encouraged to arrive on time: The bats leave at sunset and won’t wait!

Ben Avery Shooting Facility switches to summer hours
Beginning Wednesday, May 12, the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Ben Avery Shooting Facility will be switching to its summer hours of operation to take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures and earlier sunrise.
To simplify the schedule and reduce confusion, the mid-day closures have been eliminated. Shooters can now enjoy the range anytime between the opening and closing hours. Hours vary slightly between the main firearm range and the shotgun range. However, regardless of range, shooters should check in 30 minutes prior to closing time to ensure ample shooting opportunity.

Clay Target Center note: Shooting during the hours after dark is limited to the trap and skeet fields only. There are no lights for the sporting clays courses.
Learn how to shoot, join a shooting program or league
The Arizona Game and Fish Department offers a variety of structured introductory target shooting programs. There are programs for women, children, families, and co-ed participation. Department programs are taught by certified range safety officers to assure participants learn how to be safe, responsible, and skilled when using firearms, air guns or archery equipment. For many of these programs, the equipment is provided. To learn about the shooting programs available, contact the Ben Avery Shooting Facility at (623) 582-8313 or visit www.azgfd.gov/basf.
In addition to being a fun and safe recreational activity, target shooting also has a positive impact on local and rural economies. Target shooters’ purchases support local business, communities, and shooting ranges, benefiting the local workforce and their revenue streams. Furthermore, the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, a federal excise tax on the purchases of ammunition, firearms, and archery equipment, is collected and then appropriated back to state wildlife agencies for wildlife management, public access, and hunter safety and shooting programs.
The Ben Avery Shooting Facility is on the northwest corner of I-17 and Carefree Highway in north Phoenix, approximately 10 minutes north of Loop 101. The Clay Target Center is just west of the main facility. Located on 1,650 acres, Ben Avery is one of the largest government-operated recreational shooting complexes in the world. It averages more than 120,000 shooters per year and is home to a number of regional- and national-class competitions and other major events. Target shooting available at the facility includes rifle, pistol, air gun (indoor), shotgun, archery (indoor and outdoor), as well as a number of other specialty shooting disciplines.
Shed antler hunt with your OHV the safe, ethical and responsible way
|
Recently, however, more and more people have been using their off-highway vehicles (OHVs) in search of these natural wonders. While it is legal to shed hunt and pick up those pieces, it is illegal to ride in areas that are closed to motorized use. Closures include meadows, areas that are environmentally sensitive, and use areas that are signed as closed.
“The best plan of action is to walk while you stalk, just like when you’re hunting big game,” said Joe Sacco, OHV law enforcement program manager. “Walking while you stalk not only protects wildlife habitat, but it gives you great exercise and is the best practice for watching wildlife as well.”
If you plan to go out looking for sheds, remember to stay on roads and trails, tread lightly in the areas where you are shed hunting, and always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.
It is illegal to harass or chase wildlife. Don’t ever harass animals that might be close to shedding their antlers. Let it happen naturally to prevent injury to the animal.
If you find antlers that are still attached to pieces of carcass, you need to bring the antlers to a Game and Fish office to assure that the animal died of natural causes. If the animal died of natural causes, permission can be given to keep or sell the antlers. Citations can be issued for possession of parts of an animal that died of unnatural causes.
Legalize your OHV before you go
Whether you are preparing for the shed hunt or just getting ready to go riding, make sure your OHV is legal for use in Arizona. Your vehicle needs either an RV (title) plate or an MC (registration) plate. The RV plate allows for riding on trails and unimproved roads. The MC plate allows for travel on trails, unimproved roads as well as all other roads in the state of Arizona. Remember, nature rules! Stay on roads and trails.
As of Jan. 1, 2009, you also need to have the OHV Decal in order to operate in Arizona. Not to be confused with a title or registration, the OHV Decal is a program put in place to help better manage OHV use. Funds from this program are being used for education and enforcement programs across the state. The OHV Decal must be displayed in the upper left corner of your RV or MC license plate. The decal is valid for one year from date of purchase. No renewal notice is sent about your OHV Decal. It is your responsibility to make sure your vehicle is up-to-date.
For more information about shed hunting or OHV use in Arizona, visit www.azgfd.gov/ohv.
Spring Outdoor Festival scheduled at Mormon Lake
Spring has arrived and it is time to get outdoors and explore our natural resources. One way to get a kick start is to check out the Spring Outdoor Festival at Mormon Lake Lodge on Saturday, May 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The lodge is located on Main Street at Mormon Lake, about 30 miles southeast of Flagstaff off Lake Mary Road.
This free one-day event is co-hosted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and Mormon Lake Lodge. The day will be filled with fun activities, including archery, fishing, and self-guided hikes. There will also be information booths from a variety of exhibitors, including the opportunity to see live wildlife, up close and personal, from the Game and Fish Department’s Adobe Mountain Wildlife Center.
During the festival make sure you stop in the Kachina Room and catch one of the interesting talks that will be given every hour. Topics will include wildlife photography, Hopi wildlife and traditions, Arizona trails, bighorn sheep in Arizona, and a fun topic from Willowbend Environmental Center.
“This event is for anyone interested in the outdoors, whether you hunt, fish, enjoy wildlife watching, or are interested in conservation,” says Shelly Shepherd, information and education program manager for the Game and Fish Flagstaff region. “It gives adults and kids the opportunity to meet people who work in wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation and learn more about the amazing resources and recreational opportunities our state offers.”
For more information about the festival, contact the Arizona Game and Fish office in Flagstaff at (928) 774-5045. For information about Mormon Lake Lodge, call (928) 354-2227.
Up to $10,000 reward offered in dual bighorn sheep ram poaching
The Arizona Game and Fish Department is asking for the public’s help in finding the individual or individuals responsible for the illegal killing of two bighorn sheep at Canyon Lake, northeast of Apache Junction, on April 19 or 20.
The two majestic desert bighorn sheep rams were illegally shot and killed in Unit 24B along the southern shore of Canyon Lake, west of Beer Can Point. Due to the rugged area where the crime was committed, department investigators believe that the poachers reached the area by boat, and possibly at night.
One ram had the head and horns removed and taken from the scene while the rest of the carcass was left to rot. The second ram, located approximately 100 yards from the first, was needlessly killed and left to waste at the scene with nothing removed from the carcass.
“While the locations of the two animals killed are about 100 yards apart, we believe that the bighorn rams were poached by the same subject or subjects,” says Officer Brian Anthony, wildlife manager assigned to the department’s Mesa office. “The poacher left the animals to waste, and we need assistance from the public to find who committed these senseless acts.”
Anthony added, “Bighorn sheep are one of the crown jewels of Arizona’s wildlife resources. The department, in cooperation with the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society, has spent a considerable amount of time, money and resources in bolstering this local bighorn herd. This senseless poaching is a setback for the program.”
“These aren’t the actions of a hunter,” says Anthony. “They’re acts of criminals stealing wildlife assets and resources from the people of Arizona.”
The department’s Operation Game Thief Program is offering a reward of up to $8,000 for the arrest of the subject or subjects who committed this crime. The Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society has offered an additional reward of $1,000 per bighorn sheep for a criminal conviction in this case.
To report information on this incident, or any wildlife law violation, call the department’s Operation Game Thief hotline toll-free at (800) 352-0700, or report online at www.azgfd.gov/thief. Caller identities may remain confidential upon request.
Game and Fish begins summer series of wildlife talks in Kingman
The Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Region III office in Kingman has started the third season of its Summer Wildlife Program, a series of talks on Arizona’s wildlife and related outdoor topics.
The presentations, hosted by the Mohave County Library in Kingman at 3269 Burbank, will be held on the first and third Thursday of each month from May through August from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
While open and free to the public, seating capacity is limited to 52 and will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Upcoming presentations are: Operation Game Thief (May 20), Wildlife Adaptations (June 3), Fishing Arizona (June 17), Hummingbirds (July 1), GPS (Global Positioning System) 101 (July 15), Captures and Transplants (Aug. 5), and Invasive Species (Aug. 19). A presentation on Venomous Critters was held May 6.
“The series was started three years ago in an effort to educate people on different subject matter,” said Zen Mocarski, information and education program manager for the Game and Fish Kingman region. “It’s been well received and we will continue to try and provide a wide range of topics.”
The library and Kingman Game and Fish office have schedule cards available. Presentation descriptions can be found on the Game and Fish outdoor calendar on the department website at www.azgfd.gov.
For more information, contact Mocarski at (928) 692-7700, Ext. 2301.
