AWH .... I think the Obama team could use a guy like you to help be a spin doctor and help rebuke all the previous lies ... If we see Obama using an excuse that he was merely testing the masses and we all failed ... I will give your backdoor excuse credit .. It is in fact that legit the idea may be stolen !

Deadline to apply for spring draw is Oct. 14, 2014

 

As the Oct. 14 deadline approaches to apply for spring 2015 hunts for turkey, javelina, buffalo and bear, the Arizona Game and Fish Department has been receiving questions from constituents asking if they need to buy "a 2015 hunting license" in order to apply for the spring 2015 draw.

 

With the establishment of the new license structure this year, licenses (other than short-term licenses) are now valid for one year rather than just for the calendar year. Therefore, to apply for a draw you now only need a "valid" hunting license or combination hunt/fish license, as long as that license is valid as of the deadline for that draw. If you already bought your license this year, it most likely will satisfy the license requirement in order to apply for the spring 2015 draw. Check the dates of your current license. If you haven't yet purchased a license this year, you'll need to buy one either online, at a Game and Fish office, at an authorized license dealer, or through the draw process at the time you’re applying for the draw.

 

Keep in mind, however, that you need to have a valid license when you are in the field for your hunt. If your current license expires before your hunt, you'll need to purchase a new license before you go on your hunt.

 

As an example, if you bought your license from a license dealer on Jan. 1, 2014, it would be valid for 365 days and would therefore be valid when you apply this year for the 2015 spring draw. However, if you are drawn and your hunt is in mid February 2015, you'll need to buy a new license before you go out on your hunt (or for that matter, if you want to do any hunting after the expiration of your existing license).

 

In the past, when all licenses expired at the end of the calendar year, sportsmen who applied for spring hunts were accustomed to purchasing their next year's license in advance. Hunters will now need to remember when their license expires. It is the hunter's responsibility to make sure that they have a valid license any time they go hunting. One way to make the process easier is to get on a yearly cycle of purchasing a new license.

 

If you don't already have your hunting or combo license but need to buy one, licenses are valid for one year, but there are different options depending on how you buy your license:

  • If you buy your license from a license dealer or through the online draw application process, your start date (the date your license becomes valid) will be the date you purchase the license.
  • If you buy your license through the paper draw application process, your start date will be the published deadline date for that draw.
  • If you buy your license separately at www.azgfd.gov/eservices/licenses.shtml or from a Game and Fish office, you can name your own start date up to 60 days beyond the date you purchase it, and it will be valid for one year from that date. (If you already have a license and want to buy a new one, you can buy it 60 days prior to the expiration of your existing license and request the start day to run consecutively after the expiration of your existing license. As an example, anyone who bought their license on or with a start date of Jan. 1, 2014, would be able to buy their new license as early as Nov. 1, 2014 and designate the start date as Jan. 1, 2015.)

Copies of the 2015 Spring Turkey, Javelina, Buffalo and Bear Hunt Draw Information booklet are available at license dealers, at Game and Fish offices, or online at www.azgfd.gov/draw.
