Special Youth OpportunitiesRobbins Butte Dove HuntRobbins Butte Wildlife Area (RBWA) is about seven milessouthwest of Buckeye and comprises more than 1,600 acres.RBWA was purchased for its potential as waterfowl habitat.Three ponds were built in 1952 and by 1957 an estimated30,000 ducks used these ponds. However, increased demandfor agricultural water coupled with invasion of saltcedar trees led to dramatic waterfowl declines by 1960.In response, the Department purchased the adjacent BlackButte Farm to expand RBWA. This land contained some ofthe last pristine honey mesquite bosque remaining along thelower Gila River. This acquisition protected the bosque, andprovided cultivated grain crops for small game. The combinationof wildlife food crops, natural foods and nestinghabitat now attracts a combined average of 5,000 breedingwhite-winged and mourning doves each year.A portion of RBWA is managed strictly for junior hunters.The “juniors only” hunt in early September gives hunters achance to pursue doves without adult competition. Hunters under theage of 14 may hunt without a license when accompanied by a licensedadult (each adult can bring up to two young hunters). Shooting locationsare assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants mustcheck in prior to hunting and check out when finished. Plan to arrive by4:30 a.m. for a safety briefing.
