Unit 6BN (6B north, Rogers Lake and Fry Park)
Arizona Hunting Guide — Pronghorn
6B North is the archery-only pronghorn hunt in the upland meadows southwest of Flagstaff — Fry Park, Yellow Flat, Mill Park and Rogers Lake — and the ponderosa forest between them. These animals are part of the Garland Prairie population, and GMU 6B as a whole supports limited pronghorn numbers in two separate subpopulations. The characteristic difficulty is stated plainly by AZGFD: the pronghorn here may be hard to locate because they spend much of their time in forested country that is more typical elk and deer habitat. Access is Forest Road 231, Woody Mountain Road, out of Flagstaff; Rogers Lake County Natural Area is open to hunting but closed to vehicles.

Where the pronghorn are in 6B North: the meadows between the pines
GMU 6B supports limited pronghorn numbers in two subpopulations. The northern one — this archery-only hunt — occupies the upland meadows and the ponderosa forest between them, southwest of Flagstaff, as part of the Garland Prairie population.
The three meadows
Fry Park, Yellow Flat and Rogers Lake are the named upland meadows, with Mill Park alongside Yellow Flat. Those openings and the forest between them are the hunt.
Getting in
Forest Road 231, the Woody Mountain Road, running southwest out of Flagstaff. That's the access for the whole Rogers Lake–Yellow Flat/Mill Park–Fry Park block.
The difficulty the agency names
These pronghorn may be difficult to locate because they spend much of their time in forested areas that are more typical habitat for elk and deer. That's unusual for pronghorn and it changes how you hunt: you aren't glassing a plain, you're finding animals in and around timber.
Rogers Lake, and its vehicle closure
Rogers Lake County Natural Area is open to hunting but closed to vehicle access. Walk in. And note the other restriction there: hunting is not permitted within a quarter mile of any occupied building, wildlife viewing platform, picnic area or developed trailhead.
Why that closure helps you
A vehicle-closed natural area beside a city is quiet ground. On an archery hunt where you need to get close, that matters more than acreage.
The country
Ponderosa pine with grassy openings at around 7,000 feet, twenty minutes from Flagstaff. The pronghorn are at the edge of their habitat here, which is why there are few of them and why they behave unlike pronghorn anywhere else in the state.
