Cibola Sportsman's Club

Cibola Sportsman's Club sits right on the edge of the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge in western Arizona, running some of the best goose hunting operations in the region. They claim the highest success rate in the valley—and the setup backs that claim.

The club operates seven four-man pit blinds with ponds positioned directly in front of them, all stocked with decoys to stack the odds in your favor. Everything's handled by their crew of licensed guides, callers, and retrievers who know the birds and the water.

Arizona's season runs mid-October through end of January, but the real action happens November through January when the valley fills with geese. Duck hunting follows the same window. Dove hunting rounds out the offerings (dates vary by year).

Group Hunts: - Minimum 12 hunters - $2,700 per day (base) - $225 per hunter over 12 - Includes lodging and continental breakfast - 50% deposit required; 14-day cancellation policy for refunds

Day Shoots: - $225 per hunter, per day - Walk-on rate—no group minimum - Lodging available separately if needed

They've built out a full accommodation setup so you can hunt the early light without the drive. Options range from duplex cabins ($75/night, sleeps 4) to a 12-person bunkhouse ($25 per person/night) to RV hook-ups ($30/night). Cabins include showers, linens, TV, heat, AC, and full kitchens. Guests get access to outdoor barbecues, picnic tables, and a fire pit with firewood.

Run by the Corbett family—Tim Corbett handles current bookings—this is a family operation with real hunting roots. The operation has the equipment, the location, and the track record.
