Has anyone here ever hunted Cibola ? Info is scarce and I’m having a hard time reaching their field office.

I was given some good advice One Time by Ilovesprig....... all else fails take a drive. Make a day of it learn an area that you've never been to before.

As said above, time for a drive?

I've never hunted it but have fished it several times and have seen some duck blinds out there. You might be able to call the oxbow campground in Palo Verde for some information.

Yep got some good info on a direct message so I’ll be making a journey to see what’s what. If all else fails second dove season is coming up!

I drove out last year and the place was beautiful. The closed zone was especially nice. Unfortunately the duck ponds were dry due to the low river and the hunting in the valley was generally slow for ducks (for us anyway).

You should have been there thirty years ago it was epic then, now not so much..

Typical NWR these days....Beautiful closed zone and barely, if anything to hunt for the public...Most are run by barely above anti hunting status managers with a million excuses...Sonny Bono, Kern, Cibola, and all the way to Montana (Benton) throw a tiny bone to hunting...And as long as no one complains...It will continue.
