ylclaret Report post Posted July 8, 2014 Last year we were out scouting / bow hunting and started on public land. We saw some good looking country a little deeper in away from the roads and worked our way back to it and it was an awesome little spot. We hopped a couple fences along the way but none were marked, and I didn't think much of it. I found out later that we had ended up on private land. I really want to get permission to hunt this area because I believe it will be a great spot for the August season but I don't really know how to go about getting permission. How do I find out who owns the land? Have any of you ever had to figure this type of thing out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 If it's not posted then it's open country. They are required to post there property. I would take extra trouble to find out who it belongs to though. Nothing like talking with the owners. Good luck! TJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oneshot Report post Posted July 8, 2014 Az Law is posting at vehicle access points , corners and a sign every 1/4mile, but private property is... private property... Look up Plot/tax maps for your county to find landowners... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ylclaret Report post Posted July 8, 2014 I would just prefer to get the ok because I found a seep and it's the first one I've ever found. I want to put a camera and a tree stand up, and there are some cattle in the area so I'm sure the rancher will come by the seep now and again to make sure all is well and I don't want him to find my gear and get upset, which could cause problems for my own hunting plans and others in the future.

Hunterjohnny Report post Posted July 8, 2014 County Assesors website should have it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWDesertRat Report post Posted July 8, 2014 County Assesors website should have it. This is best place to start, there are more than a few counties in AZ that do not have the funding to have parcel information/maps online. You can visit the assessors office in person if it doesn't and review their topo maps and parcel information. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couestracker Report post Posted July 8, 2014 The best way is speak to the G&F officer for that unit. He will know who the owners are and will advise you about access. I did this once and got the owners phone number! I've been hunting there ever since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
