Spring hunt applicants are being afforded an extended grace period - if you submit your spring hunt application by Oct. 13, you will be given an opportunity to correct any mistake on the application, advised Arizona Game and Fish Department officials.
The grace period was to end Oct. 6. During the grace period, Game and Fish personnel will call (three attempts) and give applicants an opportunity to correct mistakes on their application. The spring hunt application deadline is 7 p.m. Oct. 17. Information Branch Chief Joe Janisch explained that any time the department institutes changes, such as tag or license fee increases, the amount of application rejections typically increase.
"This year, we have a tag fee increase and there is a license fee increase for 2001. We wanted to give people an extra window to get it right and not suffer the frustration of having an application rejected," said Information Branch Chief Joe Janisch.
Applicants are also being encouraged to bring their completed applications to the nearest Game and Fish office for perusal. Applicants can also stop by the department’s Wildlife Building at the Arizona State Fairgrounds from Oct. 12 through the 17 and have Game and Fish personnel check their applications.
"Everyone thinks ‘not me, I don’t make mistakes.’ Unfortunately, it is easy to make a mistake. What we are trying to do is make it as easy as possible for those mistakes to be caught in time," Janisch said.
Some of the items to double check on your application include the following:
Signing the application;
Using the current hunt numbers (not the unit numbers);
Putting in the correct dollar amount;
Checking the correct box on whether you are a resident or nonresident.
