The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) is accepting applications for 2024 Spring hunt permit-tags, starting Tuesday.
These allow Arizonans to hunt spring turkey, javelina, bison and raptor capture.
Department officials say every license purchased online contributes to its on-the-ground conservation efforts. People may also reprint a license if they’ve already purchased one.
The deadline to apply for the AZGFD Big Game Draw is Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 11:59 p.m. In order to apply for the draw, Arizonans must have a valid license on deadline day.
