HOUSE ROCK BUFFALO HUNT SPECIAL NOTE:During the all and spring hunts at the House Rock Wildlie Area (HRWA), a signifcant portion o the hehas in the past moved to the Grand Canyon National Park where hunting is not allowed. Hunters are advised that i this occurs, their ability to successulharvest a bualo may be signifcantly impacted. As with any hunt, circumstances beyond the control o the Arizona Game and Fish Department mayprevent the permit holder rom being successul. The Arizona Game and Fish Department and Commission disclaims any responsibility to reissue or repla permit, to reinstate bonus points, to reund any ees, or to provide any other orm o relie. The HRWA bualo hunt is considered to be one o the mostdifcult hunts in the state. Bualo can be difcult to locate. Plan on spending the entire season hunting, as an abbreviated hunt will lower your chances o

success. Bualo hunters must dress and care or their own animals; the Department will not assist. Take time to improve your physical condition. Hunterare oten required to walk considerable distances (up to 8 miles) every day over rugged terrain. House Rock hunters should be prepared or remoteand primitive conditions. High clearance or our-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. Some portions o HRWA are included in the U.S. Forest Servicewilderness system that does not preclude hunter access but does limit their means o transportation and equipment usage.
