2015 Fall Hunt Draw Results Now Available

PHOENIX – The waiting game is over for hopeful hunters who applied for a 2015 fall hunt permit-tag.

To view draw results for the fall deer, turkey, javelina, bighorn sheep, buffalo and pheasant seasons, visit https://az.gov/azgfd/draw/home.xhtml and click on “View Results and Bonus Points,” or call (602) 942-3000.

A total of 132,587 applicants – the most since 2012 – vied for more than 49,000 permit-tags issued through the random draw. Of those individuals, a record 86 percent (114,126) applied online, compared to 14 percent (18,461) who filled out a paper application. That represents a 30 percent increase in the number of online applicants in the past four years.

For those who were unsuccessful in the draw process, a list of about 3,200 leftover permit-tags is posted at http://azgfdportal.az.gov/hunting/draw. The department will accept applications for leftover permit-tags, by mail only, beginning Aug. 3. Leftover permit-tags also will be available for purchase Aug. 10 on a “first come, first served” basis at the department’s regional offices.

For those who qualify, military hunts may be available at Fort Huachuca. Call (520) 533-5529 for more information.

Permit-tags for successful applicants will be mailed by Aug. 7. Refunds will be mailed no later than Aug. 17.
