Arizona Hunt Unit 9 (Map) offers a variety of habitats and lies beneath the world’s number one National Park, the Grand Canyon. Heading toward the south, the ponderosa forest breaks into the pinyon and juniper belts along with rolling hills of the high chaparral. To its east, areas of timber along with chaparral meet with the Navajo Nation and to its west, there are harbors of deep, beautiful canyon lands such as Cataract Canyon and areas which roam along the Havasupai Nation.
Simply Put: Our Arizona Hunt Unit 9 Map Has More Information
Than Any Other.
This popular unit lies mainly inside the Kaibab National Forest and contains areas of private, BLM, and State lands. Hunt Unit 9 offers big game hunting for elk, mule deer, antelope, mountain lion and turkey, and for many decades it has produced numerous record class trophy elk and some mule deer. Furthermore, great opportunities for small game are plentiful: bobcat, coyote, fox, cottontail rabbit, squirrel, and more.
Hiking along the historic Arizona Trail is yet another adventure that Hunt Unit 9 offers. Popular trailheads include: Moqui Stage Station, Russell Tank, Grandview, and Greenway. The historic Moqui Stage Station was a main stagecoach hub from Flagstaff taking passengers to Northern Arizona during the territorial days. Today this same trail is part of the Arizona Trail that continues North to Russell Tank which offers fishing opportunities at its lake. From this point, the trail continues north inside the ponderosa belt arriving at the Grandview trailhead. Heading west, this trail segment offers breathtaking views which lead to the Greenway trailhead and eventually Tusayan to the North. As you continue north this trail ultimately ties into the Grand Canyon’s Bright Angel Trail.
Due to primitive roads combined with weather conditions, access demands 4x4 off-road vehicles in order to safely venture throughout the unit.
The Grand Canyon State has been divided into Hunt Units otherwise known as Game Management Units (GMU). Each of these units can contain state, federal, military and private land, and the boundaries serve in assisting the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Arizona Game and Fish Commission in managing wildlife within its boundaries. And although these references seem specific to wildlife and hunting, each unit's boundaries can be helpful to any outdoor enthusiast whether you are hiking, biking, off-roading, boating or camping.
The Arizona Hunting Regulations are published regularly by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. These publications will help you identify what and where you want to hunt, what you will need, and how to to go about applying for a hunting license. The Arizona Hunting Regulations has excellent information on draws, outdoor skills, hunter education, big and small game seasons and tips for things you should know before you venture out on your hunting trip.
