Only place I've seen them is out by Globe, but as it is my current favorite Quail spot right now I will not post it.  But you can pm me if you want to go east to hunt.

Check put the arlington wilderness area, it's out there, but we saw/harvested a couple while dove hunting. I think it's a shotgun-only area though.

If you head north up around bumble bee or badger springs you should be able to get some rabbits for dinner.  I've had better luck with a shotgun and .22 pistol for type of shots to encountered.

Lots of big bastard jacks running around near Bloody Basin. Just drive/walk in a bit past where everyone target shoots.

Out east toward Florence Junction is a decent spot too, all the way out to Superior.

Bring a shotgun, and watch for ears

I would love to go hunt some small game in the state.  Just moved down from MN in August and am missing not hunting small game.  I'm over in East valley.

Question and not to hijack but how do you get your license for this stuff?  Your DNR or State Game Board and seasons are crazy compared to MN looking at their webiste.  I'm assuming you go into a sporting goods store and tell them you want a small game license?

I usually just stop by Wally world for licenses, painless just have your AZ DL and residency met and you are GTG...

what do you need to show residency besides AZ DL?

At walmart they have always just asked me how long I have lived in AZ and have to show a DL or Mil ID

Are we talking rabbits wearing pancakes on their heads, or just rabbits, sans the pancakes?
