Leftover Permits for Arizona’s 2013 Fall Big Game Hunts Now Available

Hunters who submitted applications for a fall hunt, but were not drawn, have a second chance to get a hunt permit-tag. Approximately 4,000 leftover tags for Arizona’s fall hunts are available now on a first-come, first-served basis.

Leftover tags are available in two phases. In the first phase, applications will be accepted beginning at 8 a.m. (MST) on July 22, 2013 by U.S. mail only. Leftover permits will then be made available for purchase at all Department offices, with a completed application, beginning July 29, 2013 at 8 a.m. (MST). This will be in addition to the mailing process.

More than 121,600 people applied for this year’s fall draw, and 49,471 hunt-permit tags were issued.

For those who qualify, military hunts may be available for Fort Huachuca. Call (520) 533-7083 or (520) 533-8763 for additional information.
