There are two ways in which to purchase a leftover permit-tag on a first-come, first-served basis:
  • By mail: Given the uncertainty and challenges of the pandemic, AZGFD continues to strongly encourage customers to apply by mail. All completed paper applications must be addressed to: Arizona Game and Fish Department, Attn.: Draw/First Come, 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ  85086. There is no “mini” draw. Allow 10 to 15 business days to receive a hunt permit-tag by mail.
  • In person: Applications will be accepted in person beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 23. Note: To ensure public health and safety protocols are observed, customers must first contact customer service to make arrangements to purchase a leftover permit-tag at any department office. Call 602-942-3000 or any regional office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (except holidays).

For more information, including license and hunt permit-tag requirements, refer to the “2021 Spring Turkey, Javelina, Bison, Bear, and Raptor Capture,” or call 602-942-3000.
