AZGFD encourages all customers to have an AZGFD portal account; that\u2019s the only place where draw results will be posted. Dependent account features are available with a portal account, so everyone \u2014 including youth \u2014 can view their draw results online as soon as they are available. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check your AZGFD portal account. <\/strong>Visit<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.azgfd.gov\"><strong>www.azgfd.gov<\/strong><\/a>, then click on \u201cAccount Login\u201d at the bottom of the homepage.<strong> <\/strong>Take this time to review personal data, including\u00a0 application history and total bonus points (bonus, loyalty, hunter education). <strong>Also, verify your mailing address to ensure proper delivery of hunt permit-tags (if successful)<\/strong>. If something seems amiss, call AZGFD at 602-942-3000 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Possession of a valid Arizona hunting license is required at the time of application entry and on the deadline day of the application period (Oct. 1).<\/strong> Only a hunting license, or a combination hunt and fish license, is valid. Short-term licenses are not valid. To purchase a license, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/license.azgfd.com\/\"><strong>license.azgfd.com<\/strong><\/a> or any AZGFD office statewide. When purchasing an Arizona hunting license, or combination hunt and fish license, online, the license number will appear at the bottom of the customer&#8217;s receipt. Don\u2019t throw it away! That license number will be required as part of the draw application process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know your Customer ID. <\/strong>This is a must to submit an application. There are four ways to locate a Customer ID: 1) Log into your AZGFD portal account, and click on \u201cView Details\u201d under \u201cMy AZGFD Dashboard; 2) Check your hunting license, or combination hunt and fish license, if it was purchased online; 3) A Customer ID number can be retrieved by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/customerlookup.azgfd.com\/\"><strong>customerlookup.azgfd.com\/<\/strong><\/a>. If the account is located, AZGFD will send the Customer ID number to that email address; 4) Call AZGFD at 602-942-3000 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Download \u201cArizona E-Tag.\u201d <\/strong>Download this mobile app from either the Apple or Google Play stores, and opt in to receive an electronic permit-tag in your AZGFD portal account (this is not an option selected through the draw). <strong>Be sure to update to the most recent version of the app, which is compatible with both Apple and android products.<\/strong> The Arizona E-Tag app provides real-time delivery of licenses and big game tags purchased or drawn after the app has been downloaded. The app also provides the ability to electronically tag a harvested animal and complete the hunter questionnaire. For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azgfd.gov\/etag\"><strong>www.azgfd.gov\/etag<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan to purchase a PointGuard product. <\/strong>Choosing PointGuard Plus, or the standard PointGuard, ensures that applicants can surrender their hunt permit-tag for any reason, and the accumulated bonus points that were expended to draw that hunt permit-tag will be reinstated. A portal account is no longer required to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/hunting\/hunt-draw-and-licenses\/big-game-draw\/point-guard\/\"><strong>purchase a PointGuard product<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sign up to receive a hunter questionnaire via text message<\/strong>. As part of the application process, a customer can now enter his or her phone number (ghost number format) to receive a hunter questionnaire via text message on their mobile device.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When\u2019s the draw?<\/strong> AZGFD will post an announcement on its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azgfd.gov\"><strong>website<\/strong><\/a> and social media channels when the 2025 spring draw opens. The deadline for the department to receive all applications is <strong>11:59 p.m. (Arizona time) Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AZGFD is offering tips to make the application process go smoothly for spring draw applicants. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":8770,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","category-main-site"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Prepare now for upcoming 2025 spring draw - Arizona Game &amp;
