The booklet can be viewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/Hunting\/Regulations\/\"><strong>www.azgfd.com\/Hunting\/Regulations\/<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadline for the department to receive all applications is <strong>11:59 p.m. (Arizona time) Tuesday, June 6, 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Applicants must possess a valid Arizona hunting license, or combination hunt and fish license, to apply for a hunt permit-tag.<\/strong> A license must be valid on the last day of the application period (June 6). Licenses can be purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/license.azgfd.gov\/home.xhtml\"><strong>online<\/strong><\/a>, or at any AZGFD office statewide. License dealers no longer sell paper licenses, but many offer to sell licenses through the department\u2019s online purchase system. AZGFD provides a list of dealers statewide that offer online license purchases at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/License\/\"><strong>www.azgfd.com\/license\/<\/strong><\/a>. 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=\"https:\/\/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 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Download \u201cArizona E-Tag.\u201d <\/strong>Download this mobile app from either the Apple or Google Play stores, and opt in to receive an electronic permit-tag in your AZGFD portal account (this is not an option selected through the draw). <strong>Be sure to update to the most recent version of the app, which is compatible with both Apple and android products.<\/strong> 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. For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azgfd.gov\/etag\"><strong>www.azgfd.gov\/etag<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open an AZGFD portal account. <\/strong>Just visit<a href=\"https:\/\/accounts.azgfd.com\/Account\/Register\"> <strong>accounts.azgfd.com\/Account\/Register<\/strong><\/a> and fill in the required information. AZGFD encourages all customers to have an AZGFD portal account; that\u2019s the only place where draw results will be posted. Family account features are available with a portal account, so everyone \u2014 including youth \u2014 can view their draw results online as soon as they are available. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check your AZGFD portal account. <\/strong>Click on \u201cAccount Login\u201d at the bottom of the homepage<strong> <\/strong>to review personal data, including application history and total bonus points (bonus, loyalty, hunter education). If something seems amiss, call AZGFD at 602-942-3000 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan to purchase a PointGuard product. <\/strong>Choosing PointGuard Plus, or the standard PointGuard, ensures that applicants can surrender their hunt permit-tag for any reason, and the accumulated bonus points that were expended to draw that hunt permit-tag will be reinstated. A portal account is no longer required to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/hunting\/hunt-draw-and-licenses\/big-game-draw\/point-guard\/\"><strong>purchase a PointGuard product<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sign up to receive a hunter questionnaire via text message<\/strong>.
