Greetings Arizona sportsmen, sportswomen, and juniors,

I am privileged to introduce to you the 2012-13 ArizonaHunting and Trapping Regulations, and congratulate

you on participating in a uniquely American pastime.

Unlike most conservation systems in the world, huntingin America is not a privilege reserved or a chosen ewby birthright or personal wealth. Under the tenets o theNorth American Model o Wildlie Conservation, wildlieis not owned by any individual or the state, but held intrust by the state or the enjoyment o all. In America,

virtually everyone wishing to hunt may do so.

Many benets o hunting are underappreciated bysociety. Hunting promotes close bonding between parentand child, requiring parents to provide tutelage in sae,

responsible use o rearms. It involves rising beoredawn, struggling through inclement weather and physicaladversity in pursuit o elusive quarry, and embracingmoments o truth when the opportunity o a lietime, or aseason, is either achieved or lost in an instant. Character-building aspects o hunting may have been undamentalto the European model o conservation, in which royaltyand nobility owned the wildlie and hunting was reservedonly or them. However, the character-building value ohunting under the tenets o the North American Modelo Conservation, where hunting is available to all, hashad a distinguishing impact on the development o theremarkable spirit o our nation.

As you join us aeld, I challenge you to bring along a childor new adult hunter. By doing so, you help preserve thespecial heritage o hunting and reinvigorate the characterand spirit o America.

Hunting remains a treasured activity in Arizona. Theoverwhelming popularity o the most recent online drawapplication and interest in the posted results clearly

demonstrated that the sports enthusiasts have greatpassion or this states hunting tradition. So many eagerhunters logged on to view results posted online that thesystem slowed to a near-standstill. Nevertheless, theonline system proved operationally secure, the problem

was quickly resolved and steps have been taken to assurespeedy, sae results with a high volume o online visitorsor the next draw.

The Department is making it easier to understand

and meet hunting requirements. To that end, a newinormation technology chie, Doug Cummings, has beenhired, bringing years o experience leading inormationtechnology operations with world-class companies. Hiseorts will streamline and simpliy the process, improvingcustomer service and convenience. Most importantly,Doug is a lietime hunter and customer who has rst-hand experience with the on-line application system.

The upcoming draw deadline or deer, bighorn, etc., isTuesday, June 12. Hunters are encouraged to use theconvenient online application alternative, which eaturesbenets such as ewer errors and speedier processing.To submit your application or the June draw, visit www.azgd.gov.

Please review these new hunting regulations careully.They contain several changes intended to conserve andprotect our wildlie and habitat. Now is the time orresponsible stewardship, or creating memories, andor passing on to uture generations the ragile reedomupon which our hunting traditions are built.

Good luck and sae hunting,

Daylong Shooting Hours Daylong means the 24-hour period between midnight andmidnight. Daylong shooting hours have been authorized in some areas or mountain

lion and coyotes, reer to Commission Order 10 on page 60 and Commission Order13 on page 82. The use o articial light is legal during a daylong season; however, itis not legal to take wildlie rom a vehicle or to take wildlie while using an articiallight attached to or operated rom a vehicle.

National Forest System Lands In the last two years the Coconino National Forestand both the Williams and Tusayan Ranger Districts on the Kaibab National Forestestablished new restrictions on motor vehicle use. Other Forests such as the PrescottNational Forest and Coronado National Forest have had these rules in place or severalyears. These rules require motor vehicles to stay on designated roads, trails, and areasas shown on a Motor Vehicle Use Map. It is likely the motor vehicle use rules mayaect where you can drive to camp and whether you can drive o-road or purposes

o big game retrieval. Motor Vehicle Use Maps are ree to the public and available ateach Forest Service oce. Know beore you go by picking up a ree Motor VehicleUse Map prior to hunting on the national orests.

Small Game Hunting Notes Small Game hunting notes are on pages 93-94. Youwill not nd them ater each individual commission order, they have been groupedin the back o the small game section.

Law Changes Open Areas to Hunting Recent state law changes by SB 1334 havetranserred the authority to regulate the take o wildlie in municipalities to the ArizonaGame and Fish Commission. Hunters will nd new inormation in descriptions andthrough hunting notes that urther dene open and closed areas to hunting in theseregulations and should read them careully. The benet o these law changes is they

open up many o the open, undeveloped, uninhabited areas on state trust and publiclands within city limits to sae, responsible hunting. However, hunters and citizensalike should be aware, these changes and these regulations do not allow hunting indeveloped communities or neighborhoods. It is still illegal and a revocable oense toshoot a rearm within -mile o an occupied building; to shoot rom, on, or across aroadway; or to trespass on private property. To learn more about these law changes,visit www.azgd.gov.

Big Game Surveys The Arizona Game and Fish Department routinely conducts biggame surveys with aircrat in all o the states Game Management Units. These fightsare a vital tool used by our wildlie managers to accurately set annual hunt permitnumbers to ensure the tness o big game populations. Although we attempt to conductthese fights so that there is minimal confict with ongoing hunts, surveys may overlapwith an open hunt. Pursuant to ARS 17-309 A.1 and Commission Rule R12-4-319, it isillegal or any aircrat to pursue wildlie during an established hunting season EXCEPTor ocial game management purposes. I you witness ANY aircrat display this typeo activity please call the Operation Game Thie line at 1 (800) 352-0700.

The North American Model o Wildlie Conservation

Did You Know?

The Arizona Game and Fish

Department is responsible

or wildlie management in

the state and receives no

state tax dollars. Hunters

and anglers pay or wildlie

conservation through their

purchase o licenses, tags and

stamps, and excise taxes on

hunting and fshing gear. Theconservation dollars paid by

hunters and anglers beneft

both game and nongame

species and their habitats.

What Is It?

The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is the worlds most successful system of coservation. No other continent retains such a complete balance of native wildlife species. While othcountries struggle to conserve the little they have left, we enjoy great diversity and abundance wildlife. This user-pay-user-benet model relies on sound science, public participation, active ha

itat management, strict regulation, and active law enforcement to sustain wildlife populations. Tend result is a harvestable surplus of game species every year, and an opportunity for all to enjoy

Sportsmens Role in Wildlie Conservation

Whether one chooses to actively participate in hunting or angling, peopleinterested in wildlife and its future should understand the conservationrole sportsmen play. Hunters and anglers were the forward-thinkingconservationists for the North American Model of Wildlife Conserva-tion over a century ago and through their leadership have remainedits leading proponent. Hunting and angling continue to be the primarysource of funding for conservation efforts in North America. Througha 10 percent to 12 percent excise tax on hunting, angling and shootingsports equipment, hunters and anglers have generated more than $10billion toward wildlife conservation since 1937.

Though past conservation efforts have focused on hunted specie

non-hunted species reap the rewards as well. Countless numbers non-hunted species have been saved from peril by protecting wetlanfor ducks, forests for deer and grasslands for pronghorn.

I Hunting Ended

Hunters and anglers actively support wildlife conservation through tagible actions such as buying licenses and paying taxes on hunting ashing equipment.

Why are hunters and anglers so willing to support conservation throutheir pocketbooks? Because people place added value on and are wing to pay for what they can use.

In some states, the number of hunting and shing licenses sold has rmained stable in recent years. But given the rate of human populatigrowth, particularly in Western states, the percentage of people partipating in hunting and shing is actually decreasing.

There is no alternative funding system in place to replace the potentlost funds for conservation. If hunting ends, funding for conserving wilife will be jeopardized.

The North American Model o Wildlie Conservation

Arionas Core Concepts

The North American Model of Wildlife Conser-vation is the foundation for wildlife conservationin Arizona and throughout the country. Hunt-ers and anglers are its backbone. The Arizona

Game and Fish Departments core concepts ofthe North American Model are:

Wildlife is held in the public trustThe public trust doctrine means that wildlife be-longs to everyone. Through shared ownershipand responsibility, opportunity is provided to all.

Regulated commerce in wildlifeEarly laws banning commercial hunting andthe sale of meat and hides ensure sustainabil-ity through regulation of harvest and regulatingcommerce of wildlife parts.

Hunting and angling opportunity for allOpportunity to participate in hunting, anglingand wildlife conservation is guaranteed for all ingood standing, not by social status or privilege,nancial capacity or land ownership. This con-cept ensures a broad base of nancial supportand advocacy for research, monitoring, habitatconservation and law enforcement.

Hunting and angling laws are createdthrough public processHunting seasons, harvest limits and penal-ties imposed for violations are establishedthrough laws and regulations. Everyone hasthe opportunity to shape the laws and regu-

lations applied in wildlife conservation.

Hunters and anglers fund conservationHunting and shing license sales and excise tax-es on hunting and shing equipment pay formanagement of all wildlife, including wildlifespecies that are not hunted.

Wildlife is an international resourceProper stewardship of wildlife and habitats isboth a source of national pride and an oppor-tunity to cooperate with other nations withwhom we share natural resources. Cooperative

management of migrating waterfowl is one ex-ample of successful international collaboration.

Science is the basis for wildlife policyThe limited use of wildlife as a renewable natu-ral resource is based on sound science. We learnas we go, adapting our management strategiesbased on monitoring to achieve sustainability.

The reward or this successul model oconservation is the opportunity or all.

Scientifc inormation gathered romanimals, like this radio-collared elk,contribute to wise wildlie manage-

ment decisions. Sportsmens dollarshelp pay or wildlie research in theuser-pay-user-beneft model o con-

servation.

Regulations or the taking o wildlie are orged through public input. Enorcement othese laws is critical to wildlie conservation.

Ethics

Ethical Hunting is EveryonesBusiness

Ethics is not only about what you should notdo, but what you should do. Offer to lend ahand to another hunter if they are retrieving

downed game, share information on huntingconditions and engage in helpful conversationwith beginners you happen to meet. Hunting isa heritage we all share, and together, we cancontinue to share it for generations to come. Brian Wakeling, Game Branch Chie,Arizona Game and Fish Department

What are Ethics?

Ethics generally relate to fairness, respect andresponsibility. Aldo Leopold once said ethicalbehavior is doing the right thing when no oneelse is watching-even when doing the wrong

thing is legal. They are the personal unwrittenrules that we value. When we talk about an eth-ical hunter their behavior is an example of thesportsmanship they demonstrate in the eld.

Ethics with Landowners

Ask permission for access prior to the sea-son before hunting on private property;

Go out of your way to respect landownersand their property. Be courteous, visit withthem, be thankful, offer assistance whennecessary, or share your harvest with them;

Leave the land better than you found it. Re-turn all gates to the way they were. Notifythe landowner of any damage or repairsneeded to fences that you nd and offeryour help;

When nature calls, walk away from roadsand trails. Find a discrete location and burythe waste;

Drive only on existing roads approved foruse;

Leave livestock and other property

undisturbed.

Ethics with Other Hunters

Follow safe rearms and bow handling prac-tices at all times;

Abide by game laws and regulations;

Refrain from interfering with another hunt-ers hunt or campsite. If you see someonein that area, back out;

If you meet up with another hunter in the

eld be polite engage in conversation andshare information.

A trophy is calculated not by score but bymemories. Be respectful and congratulateothers for their harvest, regardless of ant-ler size.

Ethics with Waterholes

Waterholes on public and state lands be-long to everyone, and everyone shouldenjoy free and equal access;

Responsible hunters should respect otherhunters privileges. They should leave thearea if another hunter gets to a waterholerst;

Ethically responsible hunters will alwaysyield to another hunter who has reached

the waterhole rst on any given morningor evening during the hunt;

Simply posting a sign/notice on or near awaterhole does not give anyone the exclu-sive right to hunt that waterhole; the hunteractually needs to be present;

Hanging a tree stand or setting a blind neara waterhole does not entitle a person toexclusive hunting rights to that waterhole.Depending on the location it may be unlaw-ful to leave tree stands hanging or blinds setfor extended periods of time. They may be

considered abandoned property and sub-ject to seizure.

It is unlawful for a person to camp with-in one-fourth mile of a natural water holecontaining water or a man-made wateringfacility containing water in such a place thatwildlife or domestic stock will be denied ac-cess to the only reasonably available water.

Ethics about First Come FirstServe

First Come First Serve is a common cour-tesy that should be used when more than oneperson wants to hunt the same area or wa-terhole, regardless of who has a tree stand orblind in the area. The Arizona Game and FishDepartment reminds all hunters that confronta-tions in hunting situations can involve rearmsand hot tempers. Whether you are in the cityor next to a waterhole, any threats, intimida-tion, assault, or disorderly conduct can resultin citations, arrests and/or jail time. Please re-frain from confrontational behavior ethicalhunting is everyones business.

Ethics with the Quarry

Only take a well-placed shot in a vital arof the game species you are permitted take;

Know your limitations. Be mindful of yo

effective shot range. Avoid extreme distanshots, risky angles and situations where yodo not feel condent in your shot. Strive fa quick, clean harvest;

Select appropriate equipment for your quary. Be aware of the equipments limitatioas well as your effective range. Take timepractice to ensure an accurate shot;

Respect your personal capabilities undvarious conditions that you could potentily encounter during a hunt. Consider yogeneral health, physical condition, weath

and elevation in the area you plan to huBe sure to hunt areas that are within yophysical limitations.

Bowhunters should keep in mind shotsgreater distances may result in the quarmoving before the arrow reaches it. Kinic energy is extremely important on larggame animals as energy is lost at longdistances which can result in wounded lost game;

Learn about the habits and habitat of tgame species you are hunting;

Make every possible effort to recover gam

Adhere to the rules of fair chase;

Follow up every shot at game with a searfor sign. You cannot always tell immediatly that an animal has been hit.

Ethics with Carcass Disposal

Thanks to sportsmen and the general pulic the Operation Game Thief Program henjoyed great success with the Departmereceiving thousands of calls each year maof which lead to the apprehension of wilife law violators. The Arizona Game and FiDepartment also receives calls regarding tdumping of wildlife that have been legakilled because the reporting party is unabto discern that the animal was taken legalUnder these circumstances the Departmeexpects and appreciates notication. In mocases the reports are from individuals that the carcasses in dumpsters, close to urban aeas, and in or near a campsites and roads.an effort to reduce unnecessary reports t

License Inormation

Arizonas rich outdoor heritage is enjoyedby all thanks to hunters like you, whosepurchase of hunting and recreationalshooting equipment supports wildlife man-agement and habitat enhancement in theGrand Canyon State. When you purchase arie, ammunition, archery equipment, andother sporting gear, you pay a federal ex-cise tax and import duties.

Since 1937, this money has been collectedby the federal government and redistribut-ed to the states using a formula based onhunting license sales and the states landarea. In 2011, that meant over $9.3 mil-lion for game management in Arizona. Thismoney paid for game surveys, hunter ed-ucation classes, wildlife water catchmentconstruction, wildlife research and shootingrange development and operations, amongother projects.

Hunters like you are part of the largest and

most successful wildlife conservation pro-grams in the worldthank you.

The Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Actsfostered partnerships between Federal andState sh and wildlife agencies, the sport-ing arms industry, conservation groups,and sportsmen to benet wildlife and hasbeen key to implementing the North Amer-

ican Model of Wildlife Conservation. In2012, we will proudly observe 75 years ofthe Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration pro-gram and the success of the partnershipsthat have made this program what it is to-day. We hope the anniversary will act as acatalyst to make the program even strongerin the years ahead.

Thank You Hunters and Recreational Shooters
