If you didn't draw an Arizona elk tag... there are still options for you in 2019. Plus, there's no better way to extend your season than with a leftover tag! For 2019, there are 744 leftover elk permit tags. The list of available licenses can be found here and also in the tables below. These hunts are available for both residents and nonresidents. Keep in mind that a lot of these elk permits are limited opportunity, antlerless, a small handful are archery only bull elk and general elk, with that said, elk hunting will be tough.

According to Arizona Game and Fish, Hunt No. 3799 – Units 12A, 12B, 13A, and 13B have an extremely low-density elk population, about 40-50 elk combined for all four units. These units are specifically managed for wildlife values other than elk, and an established elk population is not desirable. The intent of this hunt is to eliminate this elk population. The Department cautions you that due to extremely low elk densities, hunt success will be very low, likely less than 5%.
Special fees required for Hunt No. 3799:
Resident elk tag fee: $48.00Nonresident elk tag fee: $50.00
