You could have used your current license to put in for the spring hunts, then if you were drawn you would have to buy a license to use that tag. Next year put in for elk and deer with the license you just bought and buy a new one before those seasons start. This is the way I understand it, maybe someone else has a simpler explanation.

You could of selected a start date up to 60 days in advance. So in theory, your new license start date could have been December 5, 2014.

 

From the December 2013 Wildlife Views issue:

 

If you buy your license online, you may select your own start date (i.e., the date your license will become valid) up to 60 days beyond the date you purchase it, and it will be valid for one year from that date.

If your license has expired and you are hunting you get a ticket. It seems pretty simple to me, I think they came up with this because people will forget to renew their license. Then ticket time.

I don't think January to December was broken. Does anyone else???? Oh but I forgot, they are cracking down on GOOBERMENT employees watching PORN. So they have all kinds of time to reinvent the wheel. Probably should just let them go back to their normal behavior. :o :o Or remember the GOOBERMENT shut down???? This little girl did.

No 60 day option today. Either type in Lic Number or Buy License. Looks identical to previous years and never had a problem.

 

You could have used your current license to put in for the spring hunts, then if you were drawn you would have to buy a license to use that tag. Next year put in for elk and deer with the license you just bought and buy a new one before those seasons start. This is the way I understand it, maybe someone else has a simpler explanation.

 

Why not just have an additional 365 days added onto the lic on file instead. Then require that additional days are purchased for the time of the hunt if your lic will expire. This should be done at the time of draw.

 

That way no one is hunting illegally or adjusting their lic purchases to save them money while committing fraud. You could manipulate the lic purchase dates so there are gaps and save money if you only hunt select species when drawn every 5 years. What happens if someone just buys a temporary lic to apply and only gets a real lic if they get drawn for elk.

You're making it more complicated than it really is.

 

You could have applied for the Spring 2015 hunts with your current 2014 license. Then on Jan 1, 2015 purchase your new license for the year just as you've always done. You'd then be on the same Jan 1-Dec 31 schedule you've been used to.

Sometimes I feel bad for AZGFD. So many lamp lovers out there, so little time to personally explain every detail of the regs to each one personally.

Way back when I was a kid, your license was good for one year from date of purchase. Sometime in the late 50's or early 60's they changed to January to December, I remember my dad thought it was a scam by the state to rob the working man. It seems the more things change the more they stay the same.:)
