Applicants who are drawn for a limited-entry permit-tag will be contacted by the department (during the week of Aug. 12), at which time payment will be required before the permit-tag can be mailed. It is the responsibility of each applicant to provide accurate contact information to avoid missing an opportunity to receive the permit-tag for which they were drawn.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These opportunities should not be confused with the annual draws<\/strong> that are conducted by the department in February, June and October. A limited-entry permit-tag application does not preclude a hunter from applying for any other hunts throughout the year or impact bonus points. Animals harvested during limited-entry permit-tag seasons are excluded from annual bag limits.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This is discretionary. The objective is to generate revenue in order to maintain current operations, and limit or eliminate the need to increase license and hunt permit-tag fees.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The issuance of a specific number of limited-entry permit-tags will not adversely affect management objectives for a species or area. These hunts will not impact the number of\u00a0 permit-tags made available for the annual draws. The related harvest will have an insignificant impact on wildlife populations.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A valid Arizona hunting (or combination hunt and fish) license is not needed at the time of application; it is required if a customer draws a limited-entry permit-tag.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applicants can select up to nine (9) limited-entry permit-tag hunts on one application. Multiple applications will not be accepted.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the time of application, a customer shall submit the required nonrefundable application fee ($13 for Arizona residents, $15 for nonresidents) for each selected hunt number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each customer must apply individually. Applicants cannot apply as a group, unlike the annual draws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a customer enters inaccurate information during the application process, or attempts to enter the draw for a hunt more than once, all applications will be deemed invalid.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After an application has been saved, a customer cannot begin a new one. A customer may return to their application to make changes as long as the draw is open, however. When an application is completed and final payment is accepted, a customer can no longer make changes or apply for additional hunts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of nine (9) limited-entry permit-tags will be available for the following hunting opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Elk <\/strong>(any elk): Dec. 15, 2024-Feb. 15, 2025.
