PHOENIX — Arizona muzzleloader hunters who were unsuccessful in the recent 2025 fall draw still have an opportunity to receive a hunt permit-tag for antlered white-tailed deer in November.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) has posted a list of these leftover hunt permit-tags, as well as a printable paper application, on its website (azgfd.gov).
A total of 28 leftover hunt permit-tags are available — again, for muzzleloader hunters only — for antlered white-tailed deer in Game Management Unit 33 in southeastern Arizona. The hunt begins Nov. 14 and runs through Nov. 20.
AZGFD will accept paper applications for leftover hunt permit-tags — by mail only — beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, July 7. All completed paper applications must be addressed to: Arizona Game and Fish Department, Attn.: Draw/First Come, 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ 85086.
There is no “mini” draw. Successful applicants will see the issued hunt permit-tag information in their AZGFD portal account. Allow 10 to 15 business days to receive a hunt permit-tag by mail.
