Greetings Arizona sportsmen and women,

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the 201011 Arizona Hunting and Trapping Regulations toour many dedicated sportsmen and women the

original wildlie conservationists. For over 100years, you have provided the primary source orevenue or conservation o all wildlie, includingspecies or which you cannot hunt.

Given the abundant winter rain and snowall, the201011 hunting season has the potential to beone or the memory books. The mountain regionshave plenty o water and orage, and our desertlandscapes have ourished like weve not seen in

years.

Here in Arizona, we are blessed with a diversityo wildlie species, rom the magnifcent elk to theunique Mearns quail. It is my sincerest hope thatthe inormation inside helps open the doors to a lietimeo enjoyment, appreciation, and use o our bountiul

wildlie resources.

Inside you will fnd nearly all the inormation you needto begin your hunting adventures, including how to applyor a hunt permit-tag through the draw (lottery system),application dates, season dates, bag limits, where to hunt,

license requirements and much more.

I deliver these regulations along with a challenge.Hunting is a longstanding American tradition, but itsuture is not assured. To preserve it as a privilege oruture generations, we must introduce new people tohunting and angling. Heres my challenge to you: Be it ason, daughter, riend, neighbor, or co-worker, introducesomeone new to hunting or fshing this year.

For our youth hunters and their amilies, we continue

to refne the Youth Opportunities section. This sectionconsolidates all the juniors-only all hunts in one place.Parents will fnd that many o these hunts overlap withstandard holidays to accommodate their busy schedules.

Additionally, sportsmens groups have committed tohosting more than two dozen hunting camps to teachfrst-time hunters and amilies how to hunt deer, elk,dove, rabbits and quail in a positive, sae, and educationalatmosphere. (Details are available under the YouthOpportunities section.)

Its these types o positive inuences that happen everyday in the hunting community, many unrecognized, untilnow. New or 201011 is the Hunter Heritage EthicalOutdoorsman recognition program. It is a simple wayto say good job to the ellow outdoorsman who lent ahelping hand when you were stuck, or helped you packout your game meat when it was raining. It includes a

certifcate and a window sticker. We are looking orwardto celebrating the tremendous legacy o sportsmanship

we share as hunters and anglers and trappers, throughthe recognition o ethical outdoorsmen in Arizona.

The real power to preserve our hunting heritage is in your hands the active hunters, sportsmens groups,conservation organizations, and partnerships. The boots-on-the-ground eorts o these groups continue to be thepillar o strength or our hunting heritage and wildlie.

The Department manages wildlie in the public trust or

all o Arizona, but it is made possible by sportsmen andwomen. Enjoy your hunting traditions.

The North American Model o Wildlie Conservation

Did Yo Know?

he Arizona Game and Fish

Department is responsible

or wildlie management in

the state and receives no

state tax dollars. Hunters

nd anglers pay or wildlie

conservation through their

purchase o licenses, tags and

stamps, and excise taxes on

hunting and shing gear. Theonservation dollars paid by

hunters and anglers benet

both game and nongame

species and their habitats.

What Is It?

The North American Model o Wildlie Conservation is the worlds most successul system o coservation. No other continent retains such a complete balance o native wildlie species. While othcountries struggle to conserve the little they have let, we enjoy great diversity and abundance wildlie. This user-pay-user-beneft model relies on sound science, public participation, active habit

management, strict regulation, and active law enorcement to sustain wildlie populations. The enresult is a harvestable surplus o game species every year, and an opportunity or all to enjoy it.

Sportsmens Role in Wildlie Conservation

Whether one chooses to actively participate in hunting or angling, peopleinterested in wildlie and its uture should understand the conservationrole sportsmen play. Hunters and anglers were the orward-thinkingconservationists or the North American Model o Wildlie Conserva-tion over a century ago and through their leadership have remainedits leading proponent. Hunting and angling continue to be the primaryource o unding or conservation eorts in North America. Through10 percent to 12 percent excise tax on hunting, angling and shooting

ports equipment, hunters and anglers have generated more than $10billion toward wildlie conservation since 1937.

Though past conservation eorts have ocused on hunted specie

non-hunted species reap the rewards as well. Countless numbers non-hunted species have been saved rom peril by protecting wetlanor ducks, orests or deer and grasslands or pronghorn.

I Hunting Ended

Hunters and anglers actively support wildlie conservation through taible actions such as buying licenses and paying taxes on hunting a

fshing equipment.

Why are hunters and anglers so willing to support conservation througtheir pocketbooks? Because people place added value on and are wing to pay or what they can use.

In some states, the number o hunting and fshing licenses sold has rmained stable in recent years. But given the rate o human populatirowth, particularly in Western states, the percentage o people part

ipating in hunting and fshing is actually decreasing.

There is no alternative unding system in place to replace the potentlost unds or conservation. I hunting ends, unding or conserving wilie will be jeopardized.

The North American Model o Wildlie Conservation

Arionas Core Concepts

The North American Model o Wildlie Conser-vation is the oundation or wildlie conservationin Arizona and throughout the country. Hunt-ers and anglers are its backbone. The Arizona

Game and Fish Departments core concepts othe North American Model are:

Wildlie is held in the public trustThe public trust doctrine means that wildliebelongs to everyone. Through shared owner-ship and responsibility, opportunity is providedto all.

Regulated commerce in wildlieEarly laws banning commercial hunting andthe sale o meat and hides ensure sustainabil-ity through regulation o harvest and regulating

commerce o wildlie parts.

Hunting and angling opportunity or allOpportunity to participate in hunting, anglingand wildlie conservation is guaranteed or all ingood standing, not by social status or privilege,fnancial capacity or land ownership. This con-cept ensures a broad base o fnancial supportand advocacy or research, monitoring, habitatconservation and law enorcement.

Hunting and angling laws are createdthrough public processHunting seasons, harvest limits and penal-ties imposed or violations are establishedthrough laws and regulations. Everyone hasthe opportunity to shape the laws and regu-

lations applied in wildlie conservation.

Hunters and anglers und conservationHunting and fshing license sales and excise tax-es on hunting and fshing equipment pay ormanagement o all wildlie, including wildliespecies that are not hunted.

Wildlie is an international resourceProper stewardship o wildlie and habitats isboth a source o national pride and an opportu-nity to cooperate with other nations with whomwe share natural resources. Cooperative man-

agement o migrating waterowl is one exampleo successul international collaboration.

Science is the basis or wildlie policyThe limited use o wildlie as a renewable nat-ural resource is based on sound science. Welearn as we go, adapting our managementstrategies based on monitoring to achievesustainability.

The reward or this sccessl model oconservation is the opportnity or all.

Scientifc inormation gathered romanimals, like this radio-collared elk,contribte to wise wildlie manage-

ment decisions. Sportsmens dollars help pay or wildlie research in theser-pay-ser-beneft model o con-

servation.

Reglations or the taking o wildlie are orged throgh pblic inpt. Enorcement othese laws is critical to wildlie conservation.

Ethics

Ethical hunting is everyonesbusiness

Ethics is not only about what you should notdo, but what you should do. Oer to lend ahand to another hunter i they are retrieving

downed game, share inormation on huntingconditions and engage in helpul conversationwith beginners you happen to meet. Hunting isa heritage we all share, and together, we cancontinue to share it or generations to come. Brian Wakeling, Game Branch Chie, Arizo-na Game and Fish Department

What are Ethics?

Ethics generally relate to behavior issues involv-ing airness, respect and responsibility. AldoLeopold once said ethical behavior is doingthe right thing when no one else is watching-

even when doing the wrong thing is legal.They are the personal unwritten rules that wevalue. When we talk about an ethical huntertheir behavior is an example o the sportsman-ship they demonstrate in the feld.

Ethics with Landowners

Ask permission for access prior to the sea-son i hunting on private property;

Go out of your way to respect landown-ers and their property. Be courteous, visit with them, be thankul, oer assistance

when necessary, or share your harvestwith them;

Leave the land better than you found it.Return all gates the way they were. Notiythe landowner o any damage or repairsneeded to ences that you fnd and oeryour help;

When nature calls, walk away from roadsand trails. Find a discrete location and burythe waste;

Drive only on existing roads approved foruse;

Leave livestock and other propertyundisturbed.

Ethics with Other Hunters

Follow safe rearms and bow handlingpractices at all times;

Abide by game laws and regulations;

Refrain from interfering with another hunt-ers hunt or campsite. I you see someonein that area, back out;

If you meet up with another hunter in thefeld be polite engage in conversation andshare inormation.

A trophy is calculated not by score but bymemories. Be respectul and congratulateothers or their harvest, regardless o ant-

ler size.

Ethics with the Quarry

Only take a well-placed shot in a vital areao the game species you are permitted totake;

Know your limitations. Be mindful of youreective shot range. Avoid extreme dis-tance shots, risky angles and situationswhere you do not eel confdent in yourshot. Strive or a quick, clean harvest;

Select appropriate equipment for your quar-

ry. Be aware o the equipments limitationsas well as your eective range. Take timeto practice to ensure an accurate shot;

Respect your personal capabilities undervarious conditions that you could potential-ly encounter during a hunt. Consider yourgeneral health, physical condition, weatherand elevation in the area you plan to hunt.Be sure to hunt areas that are within yourphysical limitations.

Bowhunters should keep in mind shots atgreater distances may result in the quarry

moving beore the arrow reaches it. Kinet-ic energy is extremely important on largergame animals as energy is lost at longerdistances which can result in wounded orlost game;

Learn about the habits and habitat of thegame species you are hunting;

Make every possible effort to recovergame;

Adhere to the rules of fair chase;

Follow up every shot at game with a search

or sign. You cannot always tell immediate-ly that an animal has been hit.

Ethics with Non-hunters

Show respect for other users of the landand their property. They possess the samerights as you do to use the lands;

Waterholes on public and state lands blong to everyone, and everyone shouenjoy ree and equal access;

Responsible hunters should respect othhunters privileges. They should leave tarea i another hunter gets to a waterhofrst;

Ethically responsible hunters will alwayield to another hunter who has reachthe waterhole frst on any given mornior evening during the hunt;

Simply posting a sign/notice on or neawaterhole does not give anyone the exclsive right to hunt that waterhole; the huntactually needs to be present;

Hanging a tree stand or setting a blind nea waterhole does not entitle a person

exclusive hunting rights to that waterhoDepending on the location it may be unlaul to leave tree stands hanging or blinds sor extended periods o time. They may considered abandoned property and suject to seizure.

Ethics about First Come FirstServe

First Come First Serve is a common coutesy that should be used when more than operson wants to hunt the same area or wterhole, regardless o who has a tree stand blind in the area. The Arizona Game and FiDepartment reminds all hunters that conronttions in hunting situations can involve frearmand hot tempers. Whether you are in the cor next to a waterhole, any threats, intimidtion, assault, or disorderly conduct can resin citations, arrests and/or jail time.

Robbins Butte Dove HuntRobbins Butte Wildlie Area (RBWA) is about seven milessouthwest o Buckeye and comprises over 1600 acres. RBWAwas purchased or its potential as waterowl habitat. Threeponds were built in 1952 and by 1957 an estimated 30,000ducks used these ponds. However, increased demand or

agricultural water coupled with invasion o salt cedar treesled to dramatic waterowl declines by 1960.

In response, the Department purchased the adjacent BlackButte Farm to expand RBWA. This land contained some othe last pristine honey mesquite bosque remaining along thelower Gila River. This acquisition protected the bosque, andprovided cultivated grain crops or small game. The com-bination o wildlie ood crops, natural oods and nestinghabitat now attracts a combined average o 5,000 breedingwhite-winged and mourning doves each year.

A portion o RBWA is managed strictly or junior hunters.

The juniors only hunt in early September gives hunters achance to pursue doves without adult competition. Hunters under theage o 14 may hunt without a license when accompanied by a licensedadult (each adult can bring up to two young hunters). Shooting loca-tions are assigned on a frst-come, frst-served basis. Participants mustcheck in prior to hunting and check out when fnished. Plan to arrive by4:30 a.m. or a saety briefng. Aterward, visit the check-in tables andenjoy a ree breakast provided by the Chandler Rod and Gun Club. Oh,and dont orget to bring plenty o shells. This area can produce lotso chances to fll your bag. Please reer to the current Dove and Band-tailed Pigeon Regulations or specifc season dates.

Pheasant HuntArizonas top hunter education graduates are randomly drawn each yearor the AZGFD Youth Pheasant Hunt. While taking a hunter educationclass instructors identiy their top students and submit them or this ran-

dom drawing conducted in December. About 500 kids are nominateach year and only 80 lucky hunters are drawn and invited to partipate in an all expense paid youth pheasant hunt in Prescott Valley. Tevent is sponsored by the Arizona State Chapter o Saari Club Intenational, the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Arizona WildiConservation Council.

Young hunters shoot sporting clays and trap as well as hunt behitop quality pointing dogs that look or pheasants. Its an exciting mment when a cackling rooster pheasant takes ight in ront o the youhunters.

A scrumptious lunch is provided or everyone as well as a class on ho

to prepare rooster pheasants or the home table. This has proved to a very positive event or both parents and young hunters. By attendiArizonas top-notch hunter education class maybe your young huntmight be one o the lucky ones drawn next year.
