Or is a member of the armed forces of the United States who is on active duty and stationed in this state for either permanent or temporary duty or is a member of the armed forces of the United States on active duty stationed in another state or country but who lists this state as their home of record at the time of applying for a license, permit, tag, or stamp.

Covid-19 Guidance

In order to save you time, and also promote social distancing, it is recommended that you purchase your Arizona hunting license online to avoid crowded areas. Licenses (and migratory bird stamps) can be purchased online and a screenshot of your license on your phone is all you need if you are checked by a Wildlife Manager in the field.
