Unit 7 at a glance
Unit 7 is one of the units in AZGFD Region II (Flagstaff). It runs to 1,389 square miles, with Coconino County holding the biggest share at 100%.
Unit 7 stays inside Coconino County from one boundary to the other.
| Where | Sq mi | Unit % | County % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coconino County | 1,389.7 | 100% | 7% |
Unit 7 mixes BLM, Game & Fish, National Forest, National Park, Other, Private, State Trust Land and Tribal ground, per the land ownership field AZGFD keeps for each unit. National Park and Tribal land inside the unit is closed to state-licensed hunting unless the tribe or park says otherwise. National forest: Coconino National Forest and Kaibab National Forest. No military land is noted for Unit 7.
AZGFD's unit layer lists Pronghorn Antelope, Black Bear, Elk, Merriam's Turkey and Mule Deer for Unit 7; that is a unit-wide hint, and the season tables below decide what is open.

Every Unit 7 season row
Unit 7 appears in 96 season rows. 7 of them sell over the counter and 1 run as population management hunts. Elk and pronghorn dates here are 2026 hunts, since the 2027 pronghorn and elk booklet is not out until January 2027.
