Online Application Service Now Available for 2013 Fall Hunts in Arizona

The Arizona Game and Fish Department has announced that the online application service is now available for Arizona’s 2013 hunts for deer, fall turkey, fall javelina, bighorn sheep, fall buffalo, and pheasant.

Hunters now have the option of applying online for a hunt permit-tag issued through the draw process by visiting https://az.gov/app/huntdraw/home.xhtml and scrolling down to the “Apply for a Draw” link.

The 2013-14 Arizona Hunting Regulations are available online at www.azgfd.gov/draw. Printed copies of the regulations are anticipated to be at department offices and license dealers by mid May.

The application deadline is Tuesday, June 11, 2013 by 7 p.m. (MST). Those applying online will have to pay the non-refundable $7.50 application fee (which is charged as part of the tag fee whether applying online or with a paper application).

Also, a 2013 hunting license is required of all applicants to apply in the draw. If you haven’t already purchased your license, you can do so through the draw application process. Please keep in mind that if you are purchasing your license online, you must have a working printer handy and print your license out at the time of purchase. The department does not mail out licenses that are purchased online.

Licenses are also available for purchase from Arizona Game and Fish offices and from more than 300 license dealers statewide.

The online application service allows payment with a credit card (VISA and Mastercard only). The cost of the hunt permit-tag won’t be charged unless and until you are drawn.

The online application supports the following browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari (if you use Safari, it is recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of the OS and Safari browser). This application does not support mobile devices, e-readers and Smartphones.

For those not using the online service, paper applications can be mailed to the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Attn: Drawing Section, PO Box 74020, Phoenix, AZ 85087-1052, or they can be hand-delivered to any of the seven Game and Fish offices located in Pinetop, Flagstaff, Kingman, Yuma, Tucson, Mesa and Phoenix. Mailed and hand-delivered applications must be received by the department by the deadline; postmarks don’t count.
