AZ Required Licensing for Hunting

[Pochuck]

Need some help as a newbie nonres hunting Arizona - I'll be hunting in January for archery javelina and want to make sure I'm in complete compliance with the law

I received the carcass/transportation/shipping permit and the big game hunt permit-tag. When I go to licenses on the azfgd website, my license comes up with the number, valid dates and everything but it doesn't give me a way to print out an actual license - is there a way to do that? Or is the "big game hunt permit-tag" the license?

Also, do I need a non-resident OHV decal for driving on Coronado National Forest, BLM, and State Trust trails with a pickup? Based on the "unimproved terrain, and weigh 2,500 pounds or less" requirement I would say no but confirmation would give me peace of mind

Anything else I should watch out for?

Will call a game warden as well before I go

Any help is much appreciated!

OHV is only needed if leaving actual roads (including forest roads, etc). Even then, OHV trails have to be designated. So it isn’t a free for all with the OHV tag anyways. In summary, you don’t need an OHV tag for a normal vehicle.

Your hunting license is separate from the permit tag. You can screen shot your license info on your phone, or I think there is a method on their website to reprint your license. For whatever reason, when you purchase the license there is a limited opportunity to print or download the license. The downloaded one is intended to be saved or screen shot on your phone.

Good luck on your hunt. What unit?

Go to the portal and login, your license number should be there. You should have a hunter I.D. number.

Was able to get the license on my phone and sent it to my computer to print. Thanks!
