A 2013 hunting license is required to apply for the draw, and may be purchased at the same time, and on the same application form used for the draw. Licenses purchased on the same draw application forms will be mailed out only after the draw is complete.

Licenses can be purchased online at www.azgfd.gov, or at all AZGFD offices, or at any of the 300 license dealers statewide. For hunting licenses purchased online, buyers must have working printers ready to print out their own license at time of purchase.

Early application allows for a “correction period” in case an error or outdated information resulted in application rejection. If the early application is received by Jan. 18, 2013, AZGFD will make three attempts within a 24-hour period to notify the applicant by telephone if a telephone number is provided.

Print versions of the Pronghorn Antelope and Elk Hunt Draw Information booklets are expected to be available at department offices and at license dealers in Arizona by mid-January.
