New Hunter in Arizona
 

I have recently relocated to Kingman, Arizona and am new to hunting. I know I am to late for the draws for this year but want to start checking areas for next year.

Can anyone give me any ideas for where to hunt near Kingman for Javelina - Turkey and Deer. I would like to do some scouting this year to find good areas to hunt as well as do some wildlife photography (I do photography as a side job).

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to AZ Eric,

I'm not familiar with Kingman, except I got my first traffic ticket there. Good luck and drink lots of water as this state is harsh dome may!

welcome to AZ, Im not to far from kingman, im in dewey. I knew an eric smith growing up in southern california when we were about 10 he moved to nebraska. Around kingman there are alot of public access lands to hunt im not real sure where they are but you might contact AZGFD there in kingman to find out exactly where to go.

Welcome to AZ Eric.
Try these:
Go north on US93 just pass the turnoff to Bullhead City and on the right you will see the Cerbat Mtn range and at the base of it you will see a mine tailings pile from the 'little Chico' mine, the road travel past the pile on the right hand side and will take you around mt Stockton all he way back to the east side of kingman; good day ride usually see lots of deer.
and-
if you travel south on 93, turn west at Milemarker (MM) 121, (just about under the place where the power line crosses 93) this is the road to the ghost town of Cedar. You'll come to a "Y" in the road, just park there and explore away, deer and javelina, this should also be a good quail year.
and-

Probably the best turkey hunting near you is on the Hualapai reservation. Travel east on old US66 to Peach Springs, stop in the tribal office if you want to buy a tag, or continue up 66 to BIA rt 16 (the road to Supai), between MM110 and 111, travel up to Frazier Wells, lots of turkey and deer. And you can continue up the road to about MM48, you will be on the Big Boquillas Ranch, and there is a resident antelope head that isnt to nervous.

Hope this helps
Regards,
Rick

Rick,

Thank you for the excelent information. I will head out that way and start checking it out. I am looking forward to some good photo ops so I can add a wildlife section to my photo web site. For anyone who would like to see some of the photo work I did in California before moving here check it out. I will update as I get wildlife photos

Headed onto the Reservation this weekend. Saw lots of cows and some Eagles but not much else (did not expect to find all the wildlife on first trip) but lots of dear tracks so I know where to start going in that area to look for them, the trip was a great day out in the woods, relaxed and enjoyed mother nature at her finest - sunny and out enjoying a great day away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Thanks for the info. I will be heading out often to explore more.
