Course Outline

Pay heed to property boundaries while camping. It is recommended that hunters have maps and or satellite/GPS land use coordinate reference capability to determine they have chosen a lawful camping area.

Landowners are required to post their lands with signs or with blaze orange painted posts at 1/4 mile intervals along their property boundary to give notice that their land is closed to entry or trespass without written permission. Blaze orange paint regularly fades to pink and/or white when subjected to the Arizona sunshine. If you see fence posts painted any consistent color at 1/4 mile intervals you should consider the property as posted to no trespassing and seek permission before entering. (A.R.S. 17-304)

The U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management may also have various restrictions and possible road closures in effect during your hunt period. These could have to do with permanent primitive road/Jeep trail closures, roads temporarily closed due to logging activities and or fire restrictions. Hunters are advised to check the agencies' websites or available maps for updates about road closures and camping restrictions.

Make certain you are not camping within 1/4 mile of a water source for wildlife or livestock in such a manner as to restrict their access to the water source. (A.R.S. 17-308)
