Long considered a top-quality destination for hunting desert bighorn sheep, this unit stretches from 30-120 miles west of Phoenix. Desert flatlands separated by washes and small, rocky mountain ranges hold a good number of sheep as well as a few quality mule deer.
Unit 41 produces some of the biggest mule deer in southwestern Arizona. Hunters who draw sheep tags for hunting in either subunit have a chance to take mature desert bighorn rams.
Quick Tips
- Typical climate is hot in fall and warm in winter
- Carry plenty of water
- Dress in layers as temperatures fluctuate greatly in the desert
- Bring a shotgun for quail and dove hunting
