Arizona Javelina, Bear, Turkey and Buffalo Spring Hunting Regulations Supplement Spring 2006 See main 2005-2006 Hunting Regulations Booklet for additional information, sample application form, management unit boundaries, and rule changes and references. Hunt Permit Applications for Spring 2006 hunts can be submitted by mail or at any Department office. Deadline to submit all applications is October 11, 2005 at 7 p.m. (MST) HUNT PERMITS: Spring hunt permit-tags may be obtained only through application and drawing procedures prescribed in R12-4-104 or R12-4-114. You must obtain a 2006 license in order to participate in the draw. If you are not licensed at the time you submit your hunt application form, you must apply for a license and include payment at the time you submit your paper hunt application form. NOTE: If not licensed you must apply for and include fees with each application you submit. If you are drawn for more than one genus, only one license will be issued in your name. Enter your Social Security Number and Department I.D. Number (if different from your Social Security number) on the hunt application form. This is your permanent number and is to be used on all hunt applications. It may be preferable to use your Social Security number so that you can remember it from year to year. Your S.S./I.D. Number is vital to track your bonus points and to ensure that you receive the proper credits. Using a different number may result in your not receiving proper bonus points credits. An I.D. Number may be obtained by calling the Department. You must sign the application. Each application must include appropriate payment. Each payment enclosed with a paper hunt permit-tag application shall be made by certified check, cashier’s check, money order, or personal check in U.S. currency only, payable to the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Cash will not be accepted. One personal check or money order can cover all required fees for the application. The Department will notify you of errors in your application, only if the application is received in Department offices by 5 p.m. (MST) on Sept. 23, 2005. If you wish to participate in this service, please list a telephone number where you can be reached. You are not required to enter your telephone number. Arizona Game and Fish Department 2221 W.

An unsuccessful hunter, or hunter who did not hunt, with a buffalo hunt permit-tag for the House Rock Wildlife Area herd shall check out in person or by telephone at either the Department’s Flagstaff regional office or the House Rock Wildlife Area headquarters within three days following the close of the season. A successful buffalo hunter shall report information about the kill to the Department within five business days after taking the buffalo either in person at the House Rock Wildlife Area headquarters or in person or by telephone at the Department’s Flagstaff regional office. If the kill is reported by telephone, the report shall include the name of the hunter, the hunter’s tag number, the sex of the buffalo taken, the number of days hunted, and a telephone number where the hunter can be reached for additional information (R12-4306). 3. The Grand Canyon-Parashant, Vermilion Cliffs, Sonoran Desert, Ironwood Forest, and Agua Fria National Monuments are open to hunting. BUFFALO BAG LIMIT: One (1) buffalo in a lifetime except as prescribed in R12-4-120. HOUSE ROCK BUFFALO HUNT SPECIAL NOTE: During the fall and spring hunts at the House Rock Wildlife Area (HRWA), a significant portion of the herd has in the past moved to the Grand Canyon National Park where hunting is not allowed. Hunters are advised that if this occurs, their ability to successfully harvest a buffalo may be significantly impacted. As with any hunt, circumstances beyond the control of the Arizona Game and Fish Department may prevent the permit holder from being successful. The Arizona Game and Fish Department and Commission disclaims any responsibility to reissue or replace a permit, to reinstate bonus points, to refund any fees, or to provide any other form of relief. The HRWA buffalo hunt is considered to be one of the most difficult hunts in the state. Buffalo can be difficult to locate. Plan on spending the entire season hunting, as an abbreviated hunt will lower your chances of success. Buffalo hunters must dress and care for their own animals; the Department will not assist. Take time to improve your physical condition. Hunters are often required to walk considerable distances (up to 8 miles) every day over rugged terrain. House Rock hunters should be prepared for remote and primitive conditions. High clearance or four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. Some portions of HRWA are included in the U.S. Forest Service wilderness system that does not preclude hunter access but does limit their means of transportation and equipment usage. For more information, call the Flagstaff Regional Office at 928-774-5045. SPECIAL BUFFALO REGULATIONS: Buffalo meat taken under this Order may be sold as prescribed in R12-4-305.
