For more than 121,600 applicants, the wait is over. Draw results for Arizona's 2013 fall big game hunts are now available.

Draw results are available at https://az.gov/app/huntdraw/home.xhtml (click on "View results and bonus points") or by calling (602) 942-3000 and selecting option two. Callers may get a busy signal due to the heavy call volume expected, and are encouraged to try again later.

The department issued 49,471 hunt permit tags for deer, turkey, javelina, bighorn sheep, buffalo and pheasant.

Tags for successful applicants are expected to be mailed by Aug. 9, 2013. Refunds will be mailed no later than Aug. 19, 2013.

Any leftover hunt permit tags will be made available for purchase. The list of leftover tags will be posted at www.azgfd.gov/draw when it is available, along with the 2013-14 Arizona Hunting Regulations and other draw-related information.

For those who qualify, military hunts will also be available for Fort Huachuca. Interested sportsmen and sportswomen should call (520) 533-7083 or (520) 533-8763 for additional information.
