Arizona deer seasons, 2026-27

Arizona’s 2026-27 deer seasons run August 21, 2026 to January 31, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the game management unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the Game Management Unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Arizona Game and Fish Department digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.

Every screen for Arizona

  • Today in Arizona — Whether the season is open at your pin this morning, what you may take, and the legal light either end of the day.
  • Map in Arizona — Drop a pin and see the unit, the public land and the property lines under it.
  • Weather in Arizona — Wind, temperature and the scent cone over your ground, hour by hour, for the days you can still choose between.
  • Calendar in Arizona — Every day your tags are good for in your unit, from opening day to the end of the season.
  • Rut in Arizona — When the rut runs where you hunt, and which week is worth taking off.
  • Rules in Arizona — The legal arms, bag limits, antler restrictions and shooting hours that apply at your pin.
  • Tags in Arizona — The licences and permits you hold — what turns the published season into your season.

The other states

Every state — the app opens on whichever one your own pin falls in.
