Hunters who won't be able to use their upcoming 2014-15 Arizona big game hunt permit-tag now have the option of transferring that tag to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations that provide hunting opportunities to veterans with service-related disabilities.
The new tag transfer option went into effect in July.
A tag transfer to a disabled veteran's 501(c)(3) organization requires a big game tag transfer affidavit of voluntary donation and the tag. Contact the individual 501(c)(3) organization to obtain the transfer affidavit. A list of qualified organizations can be found at www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting.shtml; scroll about two-thirds of the way down the page to the tag transfer information.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department is unable to reimburse bonus points for transferred tags.
Tag transfer options remain available by a parent to his or her minor child, or by a grandparent to his or her minor grandchild, subject to provisions specified in the Arizona Hunting Regulations and applicable rules, and to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization for use by a child with a life-threatening condition or permanent disability.
For a list of 501(c)(3) organizations providing hunting opportunities to children with a life-threatening condition or permanent disability, visit www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting.shtml.
