The Arizona Game and Fish Department said Wednesday it is now accepting online applications for 2016 hunt permit-tags issued through the draw process for pronghorn antelope and elk.

Printed booklets also are available at all Game and Fish offices and license dealers statewide.
The deadline by which the department must receive all applications – online or paper – is 11:59 p.m. (MST) Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016. Postmarks do not count.

As a reminder, a valid hunting license (or combination hunting and fishing license) is required to hunt wildlife in Arizona. No one under 14 may hunt big game without having completed a Hunter Education course. While it is not necessary for anyone 10 to 13 to complete a Hunter Education course before applying for a hunt permit-tag, these courses fill quickly. Consider registering now by visiting www.azgfd.gov/huntered, or calling 623-236-7239.
