Hunt Permit-Tag Application Schedule You can find the Hunt Permit-tag Application Schedule on page 7. Boquillas-Diamond A Ranch (Unit 10) The current Landowner Compact Agreement between the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Boquillas-Diamond A Ranch has expired. We are working towards a new agreement. The Boquillas-Diamond A Ranch encompasses the entire western half of Unit 10, about 720,000 acres. Access may be restricted. Applicants should secure access before applying; visit the Ranch’s website for details, www.HuntBigBoRanch.com. Hunter Education No one under the age of 14 may hunt big game without having completed a Hunter Education class. Hunter Education classes fill up quickly. If you need your Hunter Education card before your hunt, get ahead of the game and register now. To register for a Hunter Education class, visit www.azgfd.gov/huntered or call 623-236-7239. International Border suspicious activity Homeland Security issues along the International Border may affect the quality of a person’s hunt (see pages 70–71 in the 2015–16 Arizona Hunting Regulations book). Call 800-BE-ALERT to report suspicious activity. Wildlife Violator Compact The Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact is an agreement that recognizes suspension of hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses in 44 member states. This means that illegal activities in one state can affect a person’s hunting or fishing privileges in all participating states. Any person whose license privileges or rights are suspended in Arizona may also be suspended in member states. The Arizona Game and Fish Department prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability in its programs and activities. If anyone believes that they have been discriminated against in any of the AZGFD’s programs or activities, including its employment practices, the individual may file a complaint alleging discrimination directly with the Director’s Office, 5000 W.

Cover photo by George Andrejko 2016 Pronghorn Antelope and Elk Hunt Draw Information 3 License Information Who Can Go? Everyone needs a license to hunt wildlife in Arizona. You need in your possession a valid hunt or combination hunt and fish license, plus any required hunt permit-tags, nonpermit-tags, or stamps. Neither a Short-term Combination Hunting and Fishing License nor an Apprentice Hunting License is valid for big game. Youth ages 10–17 must purchase a Youth Combination Hunting and Fishing license. The license fee is $5. A person under 10 may hunt wildlife other than big game without a license only when accompanied by a properly licensed person 18 years or older. No more than two unlicensed children may accompany any license holder. No one under the age of 14 may hunt big game without having completed a Hunter Education Course. No one under age 10 may hunt big game in Arizona. To hunt big game, anyone 10 to 13 years of age must have in their possession a valid combination hunt and fish license, a valid Hunter Education Course completion card, plus any required permittags or nonpermit-tags. Where to Buy Licenses Arizona hunting licenses may be purchased online at www.azgfd.gov. If you purchase a license online, you must print the license from your home printer. The Arizona Game and Fish Department will not mail your license to you. Licenses also can be obtained from any license dealer or Arizona Game and Fish Department office (see locations on page 3 of this booklet). If you are applying for a big game permit-tag or bonus points on a paper application, you may purchase your general hunt (available for residents only) or combination hunt and fish license while you are entering your application for the draw. The license will not be issued and mailed until the draw is complete. Lifetime License Holders If a lifetime license holder changes residency status from Arizona, the licensee must then purchase non-resident stamps, tags, and permits. A non-resident tag or stamp can accompany your lifetime resident license. If you are a lifetime license holder who has moved 4 out of state, the 10 percent non-resident cap does not apply to you. The lifetime license will remain legal for the taking of all wildlife as permitted by law. Residency may be re-established after moving back to Arizona and meeting the required time period as defined below. Residency Requirements “Resident” means a person who is domiciled (claims the state of Arizona as their true, fixed and permanent home and principal residence) in this state for six months immediately preceding the date of application for a license, permit, tag, or stamp and does not claim residency for any purpose in another state or jurisdiction; or is a member of the armed forces of the United States who is on active duty and stationed in this state for either permanent or temporary duty; or is a member of the armed forces of the United States on active duty stationed in another state or country but who lists this state as their home of record at the time of applying for a license, permit, tag, or stamp. Arizona Residents may purchase a resident license. All other individuals must purchase a non-resident license. Apprentice License Resident licensed hunters are able to obtain a free Apprentice Hunting License valid for two days for use when mentoring a new hunter. This affords new hunters the opportunity to “try before you buy,” under the supervision of a licensed hunter. An apprentice hunting license is valid for two consecutive days when the apprentice is accompanied in the field by a mentor. An apprentice hunting license is valid for the taking of small game, fur-bearing animals, predatory animals, nongame animals, nongame birds, and upland game birds. Any required stamps must be purchased in addition to obtaining an Apprentice License. An apprentice may be a resident or non-resident and may only be licensed pursuant to this paragraph once per calendar year. A mentor must be a domiciled resident of this state who is at least 18 years of age and must possess an annual hunting or combination license or a complimentary or lifetime license. A mentor may apply for no more than two apprentice hunting licenses per calendar year. When applying for an ap- Arizona Game and Fish Department — www.azgfd.gov prentice license, the mentor must name the person he or she will be taking afield. High Achievement Scout License The High Achievement Scout License license is offered to a resident youth who has attained either the rank of Eagle Scout (Boy Scout) or received a Gold Award (Girl Scout). The fee for the reduced license is $5. The applicant must present proof of their rank or award by providing their certification letter, wallet card, or award certificate at any Department office, and complete the High Achievement Scout License application (Form 306, available on the Department website or at any Department office). This license is not available through the draw. At the age of 21, an Eagle Scout or Gold Award recipient is no longer eligible for the High Achievement Scout License license, and from that point forward would be required to purchase an adult license. Lost License or Tag Replacement Lost licenses, hunt permit-tags, and nonpermit-tags may be replaced for a $4 fee at any Arizona Game and Fish Department license dealer. Licenses purchased online can be reprinted for free. Duplicate licenses can be purchased online. Consult R12-4-103 (page 114 of the 2015-16 Arizona Hunting Regulations) Duplicate Tags and Licenses for additional information. Stamps cannot be replaced, they must be repurchased. Physically Challenged Hunters Those hunters who are physically challenged may qualify for a Challenged Hunter Access/ Mobility Permit (CHAMP). Consult R12-4-217 for information about this permit (page 124 of the 2015-16 Arizona Hunting Regulations). Contact any Arizona Game and Fish Department office for additional information and application. Non-US Citizens Wanting to Hunt in Arizona Pursuant to regulations by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), nonimmigrant aliens who want to temporarily import firearms and/or ammunition into the United States for the allowable purpose of taking wildlife will need an ATF import permit and valid hunting license in possession at the time of entry/import into the United States. For further information or to make License Information application for the import permit, contact ATF’s Firearms and Explosives Import Branch at (304) 616-4550, or download an application from the ATF website at www.atf.gov. Tag Transfers Should you be unable to use your big game permit, the Department is unable to reimburse you for your fees or reinstate your bonus points. However, under Arizona Revised Statutes and Arizona Game and Fish Commission Rules there are ways people can transfer big game tags. A $4 transfer fee applies, unless donating to a non-profit organization. The commission may prescribe the manner and conditions of transferring and using permits and tags under this paragraph, including an application process for a qualified organization, to allow a person to transfer the person’s big game permit or tag to a qualified organization for use by: • A minor child who has a life-threatening medical condition or by a minor child who has a permanent physical disability. If a child with a physical disability is under 14 years of age, the child must satisfactorily complete the Arizona hunter education course or another comparable hunter education course that is approved by the director. • A veteran of the armed forces of the United States who has a service-connected disability. For the purposes of this paragraph “disability” means a permanent physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities requiring the assistance of another person or a mechanical device for physical mobility. “Qualified organization” means a nonprofit organization that is qualified under section 501(c)(3) of the United States internal revenue code and that affords opportunities and experiences to children with life-threatening medical conditions or with physical disabilities or to veterans with service-connected disabilities. • The parent, grandparent or guardian must transfer the permit or tag to the child in a manner prescribed by the commission. • The parent or guardian must accompany the child in the field or, if a grandparent allows a minor grandchild to use the grandparent’s permit or tag, the grandparent, the parent or the child’s guardian must accompany the child in the field. • The child must possess a valid hunting license and, if under fourteen years of age, must satisfactorily complete the Arizona hunter education course or another comparable hunter education course that is approved by the director. • Any big game that is taken counts toward the child’s bag limit. Once a tag is transferred at a Department office, the original permittee may no longer use it. A parent, grandparent or legal guardian may allow the parent’s, grandparent’s or guardian’s minor child or minor grandchild to use the parent’s, grandparent’s or guardian’s big game permit or tag to take big game pursuant to the following requirements: Visit www.azgfd.gov/hunting and scroll to the additional hunting information. There you will find a link titled “Tag Transfer.” Organizations you can donate your tag to are listed on the page. 2016 Pronghorn Antelope and Elk Hunt Draw Information 5 Hunt Permit-tag and License Fee Information The fees listed on this page are valid for 2016 hunts.

Hunt permit-tags are issued through a computerized random drawing. Big game tags not issued through the drawing process are nonpermit-tags. Qualifications Individuals wishing to participate in a drawing or to obtain bonus points must apply online or in writing using the Hunt Permittag Application Form, and submit the form by the deadline specified in the Hunt Permit-tag Application Schedule found in the current year’s hunt regulations (page 7). An applicant must possess a license (including lifetime, pioneer or disabled veteran’s) that is valid on the last day of the application deadline for that draw. Youth applying for big game hunts must be licensed. If an applicant does not have a license that meets that requirement, he or she must purchase the license at the time of application. An applicant must submit the information and fees required for a license on each paper application submitted. Only one license will be issued. License refunds will be made for additional applications. Licenses will not be issued until the draw occurs.

No more than four people may apply on one application in one envelope. All applicants 8 in a group must apply for the same hunt number(s) and in the same order of preference on the same form. No person, including Youth, may submit more than one valid application per genus of wildlife in any calendar year, except as specified in R12-4-104(L), when genera are drawn in multiple drawings; however the annual bag limit still applies. Each applicant shall complete only one block per application. No more than one genus may be included on each Hunt Permit-tag Application Form. Use a separate form, payment and envelope for each genus of wildlife you wish to hunt. More than one (1) application in an envelope may result in rejection of all applications. You can list a general hunt as your first choice and another weapon 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 weapon choices. 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 the Arizona Game and Fish Department may prevent the permit holder from using the permit. In such situations, the Arizona Game and Fish Department disclaims any responsibility to reissue or replace a permit, to reinstate bonus points or to refund any fees, except under specific circumstances, such as activation of military or emergency personnel, as stated in R12-4-107(L).

Obtaining a Bonus Point Only In the event you do not wish to participate in a big game drawing for species offered in this draw, but still wish to accumulate bonus points for these genera, you may “obtain 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 obtain only one bonus point per genus per drawing. To apply for a bonus point only, the individual must be 10 years old by the deadline date as specified in the hunt permit-tag application schedule on page 7. To apply for a bonus point only, 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. If applying for a bonus point, 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 costs you only the license fee (if needed) and the application fee per applicant. See page 6 for license fees. If applying for more than one species for bonus points, you must complete a separate application for each species. Only a single application and the correct fees may be included in one envelope. 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.

Why apply online? There are many advantages to submitting an online application: • Apply from home or work — no driving, no mailing; • Easy to meet the deadline — go to www. azgfd.gov and click on “Apply for a Draw”; • Reduces chances for errors (you must still read your options closely); • The initial cost to you is only the application fee and license fee (if you don’t already have a current license); • The permit-tag cost will only be charged if you are drawn for that species; and • Easy to donate to the Big Game Habitat Fund and benefit wildlife populations. What if I buy a license when I apply for my hunt? If you purchase a hunting or fishing license online, you must print the license from your home printer. Your license will not be mailed to you. Are there any additional fees for applying online? No. The application fee per applicant is the same whether applying online or by paper. The application fee includes a $13 application fee per applicant for residents and a $15 application fee per applicant for non-residents. 10 Can I apply for a bonus point only? Yes. Select Bonus Point Only when prompted. You must have a current hunting license or purchase one. You will be charged the appropriate application fee ($13 application fee per applicant for residents and a $15 application fee per applicant for non-residents). What are the license requirements? When applying for a hunt, you must have a license valid through deadline day of that draw. If drawn for a hunt permit-tag, you must also have a valid license at the time of the hunt. These may not be the same license under the new 365 day licenses. Please contact customer service if you have any questions. See page 3 for phone numbers. How do I pay? A valid credit or debit card (Visa or MasterCard) must be used when applying online. Your card will be charged once for the application fee and second time if you are successful in drawing a permit-tag. Your hunt application will be rejected if either payment transaction is denied by the credit or debit card institute. If you successfully draw a permit-tag but your card is not approved for payment, the Department will make three attempts within two business days to notify you and offer you the opportunity to provide an alternate payment card within a speci- Arizona Game and Fish Department — www.azgfd.gov fied timeframe.

Thank You Hunters and Recreational Shooters Arizona’s rich outdoor heritage is enjoyed by all — thanks to hunters like you, whose purchase of hunting and recreational shooting equipment supports wildlife management and habitat enhancement in the Grand Canyon State. When you purchase a rifle, ammunition, archery equipment, and other sporting gear, you pay a federal excise tax and import duties. Since 1937, this money has been collected by the federal government and redistributed to the states using a formula based on hunting license sales and the state’s land area. In 2015, that meant more than $19 million for game management in Arizona. This money paid for game surveys, hunter education classes, wildlife water catchment construction, wildlife research and shooting range development and operations, among other projects. Hunters like you are part of the largest and most successful wildlife conservation programs in the world…thank you. 14 Arizona Elk Society Wild in the City Wild in the City is a daylong camp held Feb. 6, 2016, designed to introduce kids 7–16 about outdoor skills. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. participants will rotate through six classes including archery, wildlife identification, gun safety and shooting, survival bracelets, identifying animal tracks, owl pellet dissection and other classes. This camp will be held at the Outdoor Center at Lake Pleasant. Kids receive event shirts and goodie bags full of information and goodies. Visit www.arizonaelksociety.org for information and registration. Call (602) 492-5319 if you need help. Arizona Big Game Super Raffle Each year since 2006, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission has awarded the Arizona Big Game Super Raffle (AZBGSR) 10 Special Big Game Tags, one each for the 10 big game species we have here in Arizona.

Prizes range from outdoor gear from Sitka and Kings Outdoor, to gift cards from Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas.

Arizona Game and Fish Department — www.azgfd.gov Operation Game Thief You Can Make a Difference The Department’s Operation Game Thief (OGT) program is a silent witness, antipoaching campaign that encourages concerned citizens to act as a first line of defense by reporting wildlife poaching activity. By doing so, you are helping to protect one of Arizona’s most valuable natural resources — wildlife! The success of the OGT program relies heavily on the information the Department receives by concerned citizens who make an investment in Arizona’s wildlife heritage by reporting wildlife crimes. Alert observation and timeliness of reporting can often make the difference on whether a violator is apprehended or not. In addition, you are increasing your chances of drawing a permit. Each year the number of sportsman applying for permits far exceeds the number of permits available. If you have information about a wildlife crime you are urged to call the OGT hotline at 800-352-0700 or report via web submission at www.azgfd.gov/thief. The toll free hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year to report wildlife violations. Callers can remain confidential and rewards may be paid for information that leads to an arrest. When poachers illegally kill fish and wildlife, the science-based approach to managing wildlife populations is immediately compromised and has a direct impact on wildlife populations. Simply stated, a decrease in wildlife means a decrease in allocated permits. Not EVERYONE can be drawn but EVERYONE can make a difference, do the right thing and call today 800-352-0700. Fair Chase: Hunt Hard, Hunt Fair Remember the fair chase ethic as new technologies are developed ARI Z O N A G AM E AN D FI SH DEPARTMENT Fair chase is the ethical, sportsmanlike and lawful pursuit and take of free-range wildlife in a manner that does not give a hunter or an angler improper or unfair advantage over such wildlife. New technology developments impact almost every aspect of life, and sportsmen may wonder how hunting is affected as new equipment hits the market. Advances in technology are inevitable — there always will be a better way to craft a bow, firearm or ammunition. However in terms of fair chase, the line is drawn when that advancement becomes unlawful or provides sportsmen with an improper or unfair advantage. Take, for example, the smart rifle, drones, and exploding arrow tips in Arizona: • The smart rifle is unlawful for take by nature of its laser-supported sighting system. • Unmanned aerial vehicles — drones — are aircraft and subject to the same rules as other aircraft. • Exploding arrow tips or similar items may not be used in an archery or muzzleloader season because they are considered “explosive devices.” The Arizona Game and Fish Commission plans to monitor and give careful consideration to weigh the fair chase implications of a new technology or practices. The following criteria will be used to evaluate whether a new technology or practice is a fair chase issue: Hunt Hard Hunt Fair FA I R CHA S E • A technology or practice that allows a hunter or angler to locate or take wildlife without acquiring necessary hunting and angling skills or competency. • A technology or practice that allows a hunter or angler to pursue or take wildlife without being physically present and pursuing wildlife in the field. • A technology or practice that makes harvesting wildlife almost certain and/or the technology or practice prevents wildlife from eluding detection and/or take. Public support of fair chase and ethical hunting are important to the survival of hunting and angling. These pursuits are the cornerstones of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and are the primary source of funding for conservation efforts in North America. The support of fair chase and respect for the traditions of hunting and angling are every sportsman’s responsibility. 2016 Pronghorn Antelope and Elk Hunt Draw Information 15 Pronghorn Antelope Hunts n Distribution For further information on pronghorn antelope, their habitat, range, natural history, or where you can hunt them in Arizona, please visit www.azgfd.gov.

When weather is deemed severe, the core roads may also be closed to prevent excessive road damage, provide for public safety, and protect natural resources.

Arizona Game and Fish Department — www.azgfd.gov Hunters can Help Monitor Arizona Elk Health – Submit Elk Heads for CWD Testing Bring the head of your recently harvested elk to any Game and Fish Department office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (office addresses are listed on page 3). Department personnel will collect a tissue sample for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) testing. Hunters that are successful in Units 1, 2, 3, 27, 28, and 31 are especially encouraged to submit heads because these units are close to New Mexico, a state that has detected CWD in deer and elk. It is best if the head has been kept cool and is submitted within a day of harvest. The head may be placed in a garbage bag for delivery. You will be asked to provide information about your harvested elk (hunt number, permit number, game management unit, and date of harvest) and where you can be reached (phone number) in case the test is positive. No CWD has been detected in Arizona’s deer or elk to date. CWD results can be found here: http://azgfdeservices.com/cwdlogin.aspx Keep CWD out of Arizona To protect Arizona’s deer and elk herds from Chronic Wasting Disease, new regulations have been placed on movement of animal parts into the state. Hunters are required to take these precautions when hunting deer or elk out-of-state: • Do not bring the brain, intact skull, or spinal column into Arizona. The following elk or deer parts harvested out-of-state are OK to bring back into Arizona: • Boneless portions of meat, or meat that has been cut and packaged; • Clean hides and capes with no skull or soft tissue attached; • Antlers, clean skull plates or skulls with antlers attached with no meat or soft tissue remaining; • Finished taxidermy mounts or products; and • Upper canine teeth (buglers, whistlers, ivories) with no meat or tissue attached. CWD is present in the neighboring states of Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, as well as many other popular hunting destinations for deer and elk. Some states have strict regulations governing carcass movement, so we encourage you to contact the wildlife agency where you travel for any applicable regulations.

However, it is a known toxin and has been removed from many consumer products like pipes, paint and gasoline. America since the early 1900s. Collaboration with industry, conservation organizations and shooting-sports interests is also essential to ensuring continued protection of our wildlife resources and conservation heritage. • Lead has been used in the manufacture of ammunition and fishing tackle for centuries because of its unique properties, availability, performance, and ease and low cost to manufacture. • Non-lead ammunition and fishing tackle alternatives are becoming more widely available and reasonably priced. Using nonlead alternatives can prevent lead poisoning of individual wildlife and may offer better performance. • Spent ammunition, lost fishing tackle and lead fragments in carcasses and gut piles can be ingested by wildlife. In some cases, these lead sources can cause illness or death in individual animals. • Birds are the most susceptible to lead toxicity, and population-level effects have been documented in waterfowl and California condors. • State fish and wildlife agencies have primary responsibility for managing fish and wildlife resources and use the best science to implement focused management solutions when population effects are documented. Educating the public about wildlife issues is part of their mission. • Hunters and anglers have been the primary supporters of wildlife conservation in North Lead fragments • Hunters who choose to use lead ammunition can still help to reduce lead poisoning in scavenging animals by removing the entire game carcass from the field. Availability Non-lead ammo alternatives are available for big game, varmint and small game hunting. Non-fragmenting solid copper or copper alloy bullets are now loaded in most hunting calibers. Highly frangible non-lead varmint bullets (compressed copper or tin powder) are available in both centerfire and rimfire cartridges. Non-lead shot (steel, tungsten, and bismuth) is also available. Lead fragments To learn more about lead and wildlife, visit www.azgfd.gov/lead. What hunting magazines and Arizona hunters say about solid copper bullets: “I was very impressed with the bullet’s performance, the buck literally dropped in its tracks.” — Kaibab deer hunter “Accurate, zero bloodshot, no wasted game meat.” — Kaibab deer hunter “I’ve never seen deadlier performance on game.” — Safari Club International article “While their terminal performance is the stuff of legend, they are also capable of remarkable accuracy.” — American Rifleman article X-ray of prairie dog (top), coyote (center) and a deer (bottom) gut pile.

Department 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. • • The hunter pool list will be purged by the Department Dec. 31, 2016. 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(s) you desire to hunt and the weapon type(s). You must also submit a $13 application fee (residents) or a $15 application fee (non-residents) (note: one application fee per application—not per species). Please do not send cash. • Population management hunts may occur as necessary, under the provisions of R12-4-115 (refer to the current hunting regulations). • 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). 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 R12-4115, 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. Form may be photocopied. Do not include this form with a Hunt Permit-tag Application Form (See R12-4-115 in the current hunting regulation booklet) Have you: Filled in all the blanks? Enclosed the $13 (residents) or $15 (non-residents) application fee? Signed your application? Indicated your choice of species?
