2020 Spring Turkey, Javelina, Bison and Bear Hunt Draw Information 21 Bison Hunts

■ Distribution

For further information on bison their habitat, range, natural history, or where you can hunt them in Arizona, please visit www.azgfd.gov.

The House Rock bison hunt is considered to be one of the most difficult hunts in the state. Bison can be difficult to locate. Plan on spending the entire season hunting, as an abbreviated hunt will lower your chances of success. Bison hunters must dress and care for their own animals; the Department will not assist. House Rock hunters should be prepared for remote and primitive conditions. High clearance or four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. Some portions of House Rock herd area are included in the U.S. Forest Service wilderness system that does not preclude hunter access but does limit their means of trans- portation and equipment usage. Hunts occurring later in the fall may be affected by snow making access more difficult. Hunters should be prepared for severe winter conditions and low availability of bison.

For more information, visit www.azgfd.gov/hunting/species/biggame/buffalo or call the Flagstaff Regional Office at 928-774-5045.
