Status assessment: 2026-10-14 UTC (static build snapshot). Static activity badges and day counts use this build assessment, not a live check. Interactive finder results show their own UTC assessment day.
0 of 2 recorded windows have date-review evidence. Other rows remain unverified. Historical records are retained and are not a current-season promise.
Check your current agency regulations, GMU or zone, hunt code, license and access restrictions before hunting. An agency link or successful publication fetch does not verify a row. Reviewed base dates do not cover every license-specific exception.

Important Note for Arizona
Only the 2026 General Deer Hunt 1001 / Unit 1 base date window was reviewed. The agency regulations index returned HTTP 403, so newer editions, amendments and closures need manual agency checks. Matching permit-tag, license eligibility, legal devices and access require separate checks. Other hunt/species records and license-year metadata remain unverified.
