How the Arizona season calendar is built

Arizona prints its 2026-27 hunting dates across six documents: the 2026-27 Arizona Hunting Regulations (fall 2026 draw hunts, bear, lion, small game and predators), the 2027 spring booklet (spring turkey, javelina, bison and bear), the 2026 Pronghorn and Elk booklet, and the waterfowl and snipe, dove and pigeon, and trapping leaflets. This page puts every dated row that is tied to game management units into one place: 506 general rows across 43 species, followed by 171 population management rows in a section of their own. Draw hunts are grouped the way AZGFD groups them, one row per hunt type, legal animal and date set, with the permit total and the units it covers. Nonpermit-tag and small game rows appear one per printed line. Elk and pronghorn are the 2026 hunts, since the 2027 booklet comes out in January 2027. 44 rows that name only a refuge or a hunt area with no unit are not repeated here; the booklet holds them.

Population management hunts, listed apart

Commission Order 26 sets population management hunts for deer, elk, javelina, bear and bison. They are not general seasons: AZGFD fills them from the Supplemental Hunter Pool ($13 resident or $15 nonresident application per species, purged each December 31) or with companion tags, using restricted nonpermit-tags under R12-4-115. No bonus points are gained or lost, and every annual bag limit still counts.
