Aquarius Mountain Ranch (Upper)

Wikieup, Arizona, United States

650 Acres




Big game, big sky, big stars.

Big game hunting paradise in the high desert of Arizona, with year-round mild weather. Small game season is nearly year-round.

Completely landlocked on all sides by 27,000 acres of BLM Upper Burro Creek Wilderness. No fences to block wildlife migration corridors. 

We are above the heat at 4,000-5,000 foot elevation, with temperatures generally 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix. 

This pristine land has not been inhabited, ranched, or hunted in over 50 years.

Abundant wildlife far outnumbers humans in this remote wilderness, including bighorn sheep, javelina, mountain lion, black bear, elk, antelope, deer, jackrabbit, roadrunner, coyote. These animals feed on an abundance of small rodents, rattlesnakes, rabbit, and birds. 

THE LAND

Sweeping 300 degree views of the Aquarius Mountain range from a 5000 ft. mesa suitable for camping. Stunning rock formations, cliffs, steep canyons and mesas. Many high places from which to glass and see game in the distance. 

Vegetation ranges from grasses and endless sagebrush, cholla cactus and Saguaro, Joshua trees, to deciduous trees, Sycamore, Aspen, as well as oak, mesquite, manzanita and pinyon pine. Beautiful springtime wildflowers. 

Several seasonal creeks in the area, as well as wells, a spring and livestock tanks. Game migrate across this land and through a wash to cross the highway and reach the Big Sandy River.  

There is a hike to a nearby hot spring for bathing in natural 99-degree water, with a cold spring and swimming hole above it.  

Hunters should be fully self sufficient, and a base camp is recommended. Motels and several good restaurants in Wikieup (11 miles North), grocery and supplies in Wickenburg or Kingman.

Drive-in Access: Yes
Walk-in Access: Yes
Vehicles: 0 Allowed
Landowner Rules: Hunters should follow Leave No Trace ethics. Pack it in, pack it out! Fires must be extinguished COLD. Do not bury live ashes in sand -- ashes must be extinguished completely with water. All fire rings must be left spotlessly clean -- no broken glass, cans, or big ash scars. Clean up your shotgun shells. And do not leave broken arrows behind. Waste must be buried 1000 feet from any water source or dry stream bed. This is pristine wilderness land. Leave it pristine. You are responsible to be fully self-sufficient for camping. We recommend setting up a base camp on the nearby BLM land (we have excellent, established campsites with easy 2 wheel drive access that are fine for smaller RVs or pull-behind trailers with 4 x 4) and hauling in your own water, though there are wells in the area, and springs marked on the map. Do not set up blinds near wells or springs. Be fair. Backpacking is magnificent here, with a spectacular flat campsite on top of the Mesa, at 5,000 feet, with a 360-degree view. We recommend scouting the area first before you establish a blind. We can personally guide you to the property for an additional fee, and we also provide detailed directions, map information, and GPS coordinates. This is a challenge that requires orienteering skills, which adds to the adventure. You will need a horse, jeep, or ATV to access the parcels which can get you in the first 2 miles by road. If you want to hike the entire distance, it is 4 miles, but the last 2 miles require bushwhacking through heavy brush inaptly named Brushy Basin.
Cancellation Policy: Refunds are only available within 48 hours of the landowner accepting your booking request.

Bio

Raised by a hunter, our family is caretaking his land sustainably and responsibly for future generations. We grew up as kids in the 1960s, dressing the fish, birds and deer that my Father hunted. He fed his family with wild fish and game. He taught us wilderness skills, and respect for the animals and the land. This land is a remote, hidden treasure, with state park-caliber beauty. The scenery on the drive to the parcel is breathtaking. You will not see another human being, nor their footprints. The land has not been grazed in half a century and is truly pristine. By making it available to hunters to use the land responsibly, and by harvesting game in a sustainable fashion, we are preserving this habitat for the future. The ranch is truly a time capsule -- you will feel as you have gone back in time to a primitive moment in history. Earth remains as it was here -- with an abundance of Southwestern native plants, wildflowers, bees, insects and rattlesnakes, bats, hawk, owl, rabbits and rodents -- and the big game animals who feed on this ecosystem, including bighorn sheep, wild boar, antelope, deer, bear, bobcat, mountain lion, coyote, and predators. Wild horses and wild burro also roam freely here, and there are no fences to restrict their ancestral travels to springs, streams and rivers.
