After a nearly three-year absence, Arizona hunting and fishing license will again be available online.
Licenses can be purchased on the Arizona Game and Fish Department website with Visa or MasterCard. There will be a $1.50 fee for purchasing license online, which pays for the online services. Since Arizona Game and Fish does not receive any tax-dollars from the state’s general fund, the Department must rely on “user-pay, user-benefit” programs to fund procedures.

While I was cleaning out the nasal passage of my mule deer from Arizona, I saw a strange piece of tissue buried deep in the cavity. Pulling it out with a long pair of tweezers, I could tell it wasn’t supposed to be there.

When you talk about applications, for the most part, you are talking about western states. Most of the states across the west have some type of draw system. Depending upon your choice of weapon, quarry and state in which you want to hunt, it can take years or decades to draw you dream tag. So if you haven’t started, now is the time.
Application deadlines are between January and June, depending on the state. Prices and drawing systems are different for every state, so check with the state’s Game and Fish website. A couple of upcoming deadlines are Arizona (for elk and antelope) and Utah.
