Arizona Hunting Seasons & Prices
2026 big-game season dates and license/tag prices.
Arizona sets its hunting seasons by hunt unit or area rather than as a single statewide calendar, so dates vary by where you hunt. License and tag prices are below. A hunting license costs $37 for residents and $160 for nonresidents.
Planning reference only — always confirm dates and prices with the state wildlife agency before applying, buying a license, or hunting.
