However, returning your hunter questionnaire is very important.The U.S. Forest Service is concerned about road damage occurring during periods of very wet weather. To prevent road damage, provide for public safety,and protect natural resources, the Forest Service may temporarily close some of its roads to motor vehicle use when soils are saturated and damage isoccurring. Hunters should call the appropriate Forest Service offi ce in which their hunt occurs or visit the Forest Service website at www.fs.fed.us/r3 andchoose the forest they will be visiting. Once there, go to the current conditions page for the latest road information.42 Arizona Game and Fish Department — www.azgfd.gov
Deer HuntsMotorized Big Game Retrieval on National Forest LandsAll national forests are undergoing or have recently completed travelmanagement planning, which will result in changes to motor vehicleaccess on national forest lands. National forests that have made a decisionimplementing the travel management rule (http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/ohv/final.pdf) only allow motorized use on designatedroads, trails and areas as identified on a Motor Vehicle Use Map(MVUM). These maps are available for free at Forest Service offices.The new travel management rules include restrictions on driving crosscountryfor game retrieval. The Coronado National Forest and PrescottNational Forest have made a decision implementing the new travel managementrules and have released MVUM maps; motorized big gameretrieval off the designated road system is not allowed on either Forest.The South Kaibab National Forest (Williams and Tusayan Ranger Districts)and the Coconino National Forest have also recently establishednew travel management rules and published MVUMs. Both Forests onlyallow for cross-country motorized retrieval of elk. Motorized retrieval ofall other species including deer is not permitted. The Coconino NationalForest has further restricted motorized retrieval of elk to only GameManagement Units 6A, 6B and 7.Other national forests including the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests,Tonto National Forest, and the North Kaibab Ranger District of the KaibabNational Forest are engaged in travel management planning and havenot yet issued decisions. Many of these forests may issue travel managementdecisions prior to the 2013 hunting season.
