Draw Information

The Draw

When the number of hunt permits for a species in a particular area must be limited to prevent over-harvest of wildlife, the Commission Order governing seasons for that species assigns a hunt number to a designated area, and a hunt permit-tag is required to take that species in that area. Hunt permit-tags are issued through a computerized random drawing. Big game tags not issued through the drawing process are nonpermit-tags. Nonpermit-tags may be purchased directly from department offices or through license dealers. submit the information and fees required for a license on each paper application submitted. Only one license will be issued to you and you will receive a refund for the other license fees submitted. If you apply for multiple genera by submitting online applications, only one license application is required. year, except as specified in R12-4-104(L). No more than one genus may be included on each Hunt Permit-Tag Application Form. Use a separate form and envelope for each genus (pronghorn antelope, elk) of wildlife you wish to hunt. Antelope hunts are in the 2000 series and elk hunts in the 3000 series. You can list a general hunt as your first choice and another weapons type hunt for the same genus as another choice on the same application--just be sure they are in the same numerical series. Use only one application per genus, even if you are mixing weapons choices.



Applying For A Hunt

Paper applications for hunt permit-tags must be made on Hunt Permit-Tag Application Forms available at department offices, Web site, and license dealers. Please use the current year's application form, that is WHITE in color. Do not use any previous year's application form as certain important changes have been made this year. Applications not prepared in a legible manner may be deemed not valid and shall be rejected as specified in R12-4-104(D). Use standard blue or black ink (no gel ink). For most draws, applications can also be made online at azgfd.gov. No more than four people may apply in one envelope. All applicants in a group must apply for the same hunt number(s) and in the same order of preference. No person may submit more than one valid application per genus of wildlife in any calendar



Qualifications

Individuals wishing to participate in a drawing or to purchase bonus points must apply in writing using the Hunt Permit-Tag Application Form or online at azgfd.gov. Each applicant must possess a valid license for the year in which the hunt will take place or possess a lifetime, pioneer or disabled veteran's license.

Hunt Permit, Bonus Points Disclaimer

The issuance of any big game permit has no express or implied guarantee or warranty of hunter success. Any person holding a valid permit assumes the risk that circumstances beyond the control of Arizona Game and Fish may prevent the permit holder from using the permit. In such situations, Arizona Game and Fish disclaims any responsibility to reissue or replace a permit, to reinstate bonus points or to refund any fees, except under specific circumstances as stated in R12-4-107.

plicant shall enclose the following fees: 1. The fee for the appropriate hunt permit-tag, which includes the permit application fee. 2. Fee for a hunting license, if a license is requested. Be sure to enclose license fees for each person who is applying on the application for a hunting license. 3. Discounted hunt permit-tag fees are for "Juniors-Only" designated hunts. If a person is applying for a Juniors-Only hunt and a regular hunt on the same application, the higher of the tag fees must be enclosed. Each payment enclosed with a hunt permit-tag application shall be made by certified check, cashier's check, money order, or personal check or draft payable to the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Cash will not be accepted. One personal check or money order can cover all fees for the application. The permit and license fees are specified in the fee schedule on pages 4-5. The hunt permittag fees on page 4 include the non-refundable application fee. A $25 fee will be charged for each returned or dishonored check. Any application not properly prepared, submitted with insufficient fees or one that is illegible is not valid and will be rejected. If there is an error and your paper application is received by the department on or before Friday, Jan. 19, 2007, we will make three attempts within a 24-hour period to notify you by telephone if a phone number is provided. If we are able to contact you by phone and our customer service representatives can correct the application at that time, they will do so and enter the application in the Draw. If an error cannot be corrected by phone, we will still attempt to notif y you of the error and advise you to re-submit your application. The applicants may then prepare a new Hunt Permit-Tag Application Form, include the appropriate fees and re-apply by the scheduled deadline date. If any applicant in a group is rejected for any reason, all other applicants in that group will also be rejected. No hunt permit-tag will be issued to anyone in a group if there are not sufficient hunt permit-tags available for all applicants in that group. Hunt permit-tags will be mailed to each successful applicant. You will be awarded bonus points if eligible to receive them. Big game hunt permit-tags remaining after the drawing will be issued on a first-come, firstser ved basis online only as specified in the hunt permit-tag application schedule on page 6. When the bag limit is one per calendar year, an unsuccessful applicant may re-apply for remaining hunt permit-tags in unfilled hunt areas.



Purchasing A Bonus Point Only

In the event you do not wish to participate in a big game drawing for antelope or elk but still wish to accumulate bonus points for these genus, you may "purchase a bonus point." When completing your application, you must choose the bonus point hunt number established for that genus as your first choice. A bonus point hunt number is established within each applicable Commission Order. If you choose this hunt number, you may not choose any other hunt number on your application. If the bonus point hunt number is any choice other than the first choice or any other hunt numbers appear on the application, your application will be rejected. You may purchase only one bonus point per genus per drawing. In order to purchase a bonus point, you must have previously purchased a hunting license or apply for a hunting license through the draw for the year in which the hunt will take place. You must also include the application fee per applicant. Your application will NOT be entered into the draw and you will not receive a refund on the license fee or the application fee. Do not include the fee for the hunt permit-tag for the genus in which you are applying for the bonus point. A bonus point purchase costs you only the license fee (if needed) and the $7.50 application fee per applicant. If you apply for a bonus point only using the established bonus point hunt number, you may NOT submit another application for the same genus. To do so will cause both applications to be rejected as duplicate applications. All applicants in a group must apply for the same established bonus point hunt number. The application will not be included in the random number drawing and the individual(s) on the application will each receive a bonus point for that genus.



What If I'm Not Drawn?

Please use one of the methods (telephone or Internet) described on page 2 to access draw results. These methods of access shall serve as the official notification of draw results. If you submit a paper application, the fee for your hunt permit-tag will be refunded. Overpayments and hunt permit-tag fees received with unsuccessful applications will be returned to applicant "A," as shown on the Hunt PermitTag Application Form. Application and license fees will not be refunded. You will not be issued or charged for more than one license. If you or a member of your group elected to donate his/her fees or a portion thereof, the donation will not be refunded. If an applicant has applied for a hunting license and is unsuccessful in the draw, his/her money for the license fee will not be refunded. A hunting license is required to apply in a drawing. If an application is rejected and a license has been requested, the license will not be issued.



Submitting Applications

Applications (except first-come applications) may also be hand-delivered to department offices in Phoenix, Mesa, Tucson, Flagstaff, Pinetop, Kingman or Yuma.

How to Apply for the Draw

How to Submit an Online Application

You may now apply for big game hunts and bonus points online at azgfd.gov. There are many advantages in submitting an online application. By using the online method, you can meet deadlines without mailing applications or traveling to a department office to drop off applications. The possibility of your application being rejected is drastically reduced due to the fact that the online application program will prompt you to accurately complete your application. Additionally, at the time of application you will only have to pay for the application fee, the license fee (if you have not previously purchased a license for the year in which the hunt takes place) and any donations you might wish to make to the Big Game Habitat Fund. Hunt permit-tag fees will be charged after the drawing is completed and you are successful in the draw. This eliminates the requirement to pay your tag fees in advance and/or issue a refund if you are not successful in the draw.

Supplemental (Population Management) Hunts and Hunter Pool

Beginning in 2003-2004, the Arizona Game and Fish Department established Population Management Hunts and the Hunter Pool. AZGFD Wildlife Managers have found that previous hunt strategies designed to manage some wildlife populations are not meeting objectives. When regular hunt seasons don't meet management objectives, conflicts between wildlife and other uses of the land can occur. Population management hunts are designed to allow the department to achieve supplemental harvests of wildlife when traditional harvest strategies have not met their objectives. Population management hunts will enhance the department's ability to meet population and habitat management objectives. The following information is important to know if you are planning on applying for a population management hunt.   Population management hunts may occur as necessary, under the provisions of R12-4-115 (see the current hunting and trapping regulation booklet for rule). The Population Management Seasons Commission Order 26 approved by the Commission designates the range of species, season dates, open areas, legal wildlife, lawful taking methods, and maximum tag numbers for population management hunts to be prescribed by the Director and implemented under R12-4-115. When a population management hunt is found to be necessary, as prescribed in R12-4-115, hunters will be selected from the hunter pool made up of hunter pool applicants (see application below).   The hunter pool list will be purged by the department Dec. 31, 2007. You may apply at any time during the year (note: do not include the hunter pool hunt application form with a hunt permit-tag application--you must apply separately. See application below for instructions). To complete your application, you must designate the species of animal you desire to hunt and the weapon type(s). You must also submit a $7.50 application fee (note: one $7.50 application fee per application--not per species). Please do not send cash. You may designate more than one species and weapon type on the application form. If you choose to designate more than one species and weapon type on your hunter pool application, your name will be included in the hunter pool for each species and weapon type you designate. This means that you may be eligible to participate in a population management hunt for more than one species or method of take each year (note: annual bag limits apply to all population management hunts and may limit your ability to participate in a population management hunt or regular season hunt). If you participate in a population management hunt and fill your annual bag limit for that species, you may not participate in a regular hunting season for that species even if you are drawn through the normal draw process (note: A.R.S. 17-332.E. prohibits the issuing of a refund for the purchase of a license or a permit). If your application is selected during a random drawing for a population management hunt, the department will attempt to contact you three times by telephone within a 24-hour period. If you cannot be contacted within 24 hours, your application will be returned to the hunter pool for inclusion in future population management hunts during that year.   If you are offered a restricted non-permit tag for a population management hunt, pursuant to R12-4-115, you may decline to participate. If you decline to participate, your application will be returned to the hunter pool for inclusion in future population management hunts during that year (note: if you agree to participate in a population management hunt but fail to purchase your tag within the timeframe designated when you are contacted, you will not be eligible for further population management hunts that year). If you elect to participate in a population management hunt, it is probable that you will be asked to arrive in the field to hunt within a few days of being contacted (note: purchase of restricted nonpermit-tag and applicable hunting license prior to hunting is required). Restricted non-permit tags issued through the hunter pool may be purchased through the department's Phoenix office. See the front of the hunting regulations booklet for the address and phone number. You will not gain or lose bonus points when you apply for, or participate in, a population management hunt.
