Get Your Spring Hunt Application In Early

Take advantage of correction period.

Applicants for 2012 spring hunts for turkey, javelina, buffalo and bear are encouraged to apply early to take advantage of the “correction period.”

If your application is received by the department by 5 p.m. (MST) on Sept. 23 and has a mistake on it, Game and Fish will try to contact you (three attempts by phone in a 24-hour period) and give you an opportunity to correct the mistake. After that date, mistakes can cause your application to be rejected.

The deadline to apply is Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011 by 7 p.m. (MST). Postmarks do not count.

At this time, applications can be mailed to the Arizona Game and Fish Department or hand-delivered to any of the seven Game and Fish offices located in Pinetop, Flagstaff, Kingman, Yuma, Tucson, Mesa and Phoenix.

Mailed applications should be addressed to the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Attn.: Drawing Section, PO Box 74020, Phoenix, AZ 85087-1052.

Game and Fish continues to test its new online application system, and officials anticipate that it may become available during the spring drawing cycle. However, there is no set date at this time. To be notified when the system is available, you can sign up for e-mail alerts, “like” our Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter.

The 2012 Spring Turkey, Javelina, Buffalo and Bear Hunt Draw Information booklet and applications are available at azgfd.gov/draw and at Game and Fish offices. They have also been shipped to license dealers and are either now available at dealers or will be soon.

Applicants are reminded a 2012 license is required to enter the spring draw. Licenses may be purchased through the draw/application process or at department offices and license dealers. For more information, visit azgfd.gov/draw.
