Welcome to the Pueblo of Zuni Indian Reservation 

     The Zuni Indian Reservation is located in the western portion of New Mexico and sits adjacent to the Arizona State line. The Reservation encompasses approximately 465,600 acres, including the Mazone Ranch a Tribal Trust land. This makes the Zuni Pueblo the largest out of the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, with elevations ranging from 6,200 ft to 7,800 ft. Topography is characterized primarily by breathtaking mesas with deep and extensive gullies and canyons, dominated by Pinyon-juniper woodlands, Ponderosa Pine/Pinyon, sagebrush, and grassland areas. 

Hunting

     The Zuni Fish and Wildlife Department (ZFWD) offers a variety of hunting opportunities for Zuni Tribal Members, Non-Zuni Residents, Non-Zuni Spouses, and the General Public. Zuni is a land diverse in various big game species from Mule Deer, Rocky Mountain Elk, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, and Turkey—all species that are important culturally to the Zuni Tribe. Permits/licenses are available on a limited basis, but the hunting opportunities are outstanding.
