All applications for spring turkey, javelina, bison, and raptor capture must be received by<strong> <\/strong>the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) no later than<strong> 11:59 p.m. (Arizona time) tonight, Tuesday, Oct. 1. <\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AZGFD customer service representatives will be available to assist applicants who call 602-942-3000 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. In addition, after-hours support is being offered \u2014 by telephone only \u2014 at 602-942-3000 (do not call regional offices) from 5 to 11:59 p.m. tonight, Tuesday, Oct. 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To expedite the process, applicants are encouraged to be prepared with the following before calling AZGFD:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Possession of a valid Arizona hunting license is required at the time of application entry and on the deadline day of the application period (Oct. 1).<\/strong> Only a hunting license, or a combination hunt and fish license, is valid. Short-term licenses are not valid. To purchase a license, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/license.azgfd.com\/\"><strong>license.azgfd.com<\/strong><\/a> or any AZGFD office statewide. When purchasing an Arizona hunting license, or combination hunt and fish license, online, the license number will appear at the bottom of the customer&#8217;s receipt. Don\u2019t throw it away! That license number will be required as part of the draw application process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know your Customer ID. <\/strong>This is a must to submit an application. There are four ways to locate a Customer ID: 1) Log into your AZGFD portal account, and click on \u201cView Details\u201d under \u201cMy AZGFD Dashboard; 2) Check your hunting license, or combination hunt and fish license, if it was purchased online; 3) A Customer ID number can be retrieved by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/customerlookup.azgfd.com\/\"><strong>customerlookup.azgfd.com\/<\/strong><\/a>. If the account is located, AZGFD will send the Customer ID number to that email address; 4) Call AZGFD at 602-942-3000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know where you want to hunt<\/strong>. It\u2019s important to have your four-digit hunt number(s) pre-determined (not game management units).\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All applicants are encouraged to purchase PointGuard, which allows hunters to surrender their hunt permit-tag(s) for any reason without losing their bonus points (if eligible).

Hunters can download this mobile app from either the Apple or Google Play stores, and opt-in to receive an electronic tag in their AZGFD portal account (this is not an option selected through the draw). Be sure to update to the most recent version of the app, which is compatible with both Apple and android products. The Arizona E-Tag app provides real-time delivery of licenses and big game tags purchased or drawn after the app has been downloaded. The app also provides the ability to electronically tag a harvested animal and complete the hunter questionnaire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the application process, a customer also can enter his or her phone number (ghost number format) to receive a hunter questionnaire via text message on their mobile device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an overview of the application service, including license requirements, applying for bonus points and payment information, see Page 6 of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/hunting\/regulations\/\"><strong>2025 Spring Turkey, Javelina, Bison, Bear and Raptor Capture Hunt Draw Information<\/strong><\/a>\u201d booklet.
