Requests to Return Premium Tags for

Preference Points

Hunters with premium deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, and big- horn sheep tags may return their premium tag requesting their preference points be reinstated under the following conditions:

Pre-season

Hunters unable to hunt with their premium deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, and bighorn sheep tag may surrender their tag via mail to the CDFW License and Revenue Branch before the season starts, along with a written request to have their prefer- ence points reinstated. The tag must be postmarked prior to the earliest date that the tag is valid for hunting. If the request is ap- proved, preference points will be reinstated and one preference point will be awarded for the hunt year ((CCR T14-708.14(j)(1) and 708.14(k)(1)). In addition, eligible elk, pronghorn antelope, and bighorn sheep tag holders may request a refund of their tag fees.

Post-season

Hunters with a premium deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, and big- horn sheep tag whose hunt zone was inaccessible for sixty-six percent (66%) or more of the hunt season due to a public land closure caused by wildfire may return their unfilled tag with their written request for preference point reinstatement and/or tag refund. The tag holder must return their unfilled tag with their written request.

CDFW will update the Exchanges, Returns, Preference Points web page at: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Licens... exchanges-returns-preference-points as soon as any hunt zone has been identified as inaccessible for sixty-six (66%) or more of the hunt season due to a public land closure caused by wildfire.

Tag holders are encouraged to monitor this page for a list of tags eligible for return and preference points reinstatement. Return tags must be postmarked on or prior to February 28 of the current license year for which the tag is valid. Requests postmarked after this date shall not be considered.

General Deer Tag Information

Hunters must purchase a First-Deer Tag/Application before purchasing a Second-Deer Tag/Application.

It is illegal to submit more than one First-Deer Tag/Applica- tion and one Second-Deer Tag/Application in the same license year. Persons convicted of a deer violation during the previous license year may not apply for deer tags in the subsequent license year.

Deer Tags Issued on Request

Deer tags are issued on request for A, B, and some D zones until tag quotas fill. You can purchase and obtain a deer tag directly from your local license agent. You can also purchase these tags online but must wait for the tag to arrive in the mail before you go hunting. Tags purchased online or by telephone will be delivered within 15 days.

A, B, and D Zone Deer Tags

These tags allow hunting during the archery season with ar- chery equipment and during the general season with a muzzle- loading or centerfire rifle, shotgun, authorized pistol or revolver, crossbow or bow. Tags are valid for a specific zone except:
• B zone tag is valid in all B zones;
• D3-5 tag is valid in zones D3, D4 and D5; and
• D11, D13 or D15 tag may be used in any of these three

zones.
• Archery-Only Deer Tags (AO Tags)
These tags allow hunting with archery equipment only during the archery and general seasons in zone A; any B or D zone; and during Additional Hunt G-10 (restricted to military person- nel only). You may not possess any firearm or crossbow when hunting with an Archery-Only deer tag except as otherwise provided. Archery Only deer tags are NOT valid in any C or X zone. To hunt during a C or X zone archery season, you must have the appropriate Area-Specific Archery Hunt tag for that area.

Premium Deer Tags

Any hunt that filled on or before the first business day after July 1, of the previous year is a premium deer hunt. Premium deer hunt tags are issued through the Big Game Drawing. For a complete list of deer hunts and their classifications, please refer to the 2023 California Big Game Hunting Digest, avail- able online at www. wildlife.ca.gov/Publications/Hunting-Digest. To apply for a premium deer tag issued through the Big Game Drawing, applicants must use a First-Deer Tag Drawing Appli- cation, except for junior hunters may apply for apprentice hunts on their Second-Deer Tag Application.

C Zone Deer Tags

These tags are valid in zones C1, C2, C3 and C4 during the general season only. To hunt with archery equipment during the archery season in any C zone you must apply for an A-1 Area- Specific Archery Hunt tag.

X Zone Tags

These tags allow hunting during the general season only, in a specific zone using a muzzleloading or centerfire rifle, shotgun, authorized pistol or revolver, crossbow or bow.

Additional Hunt Deer Tags

Additional deer hunts offer antlerless, either-sex and buck hunt- ing opportunities in a variety of locations throughout the state. They include junior deer hunts, military lands hunts, and special equipment hunts.

Apprentice Deer Hunts

Applicants must be at least 12 years of age on or before July
1 of the license year for which they are applying or at the time of application if they are applying after July 1, and must pos- sess a valid California junior hunting license for the year they are applying. Eligible junior license holders may use either a First-Deer or Second-Deer Tag Drawing Application to apply for Apprentice Deer Hunts; however only one application may be submitted for Apprentice Hunts. Juniors receiving tags must be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older while hunt- ing.

Military Lands Hunts

Additional hunts G8, J10 and A33 are held on military instal- lations and offer limited numbers of tags for the public and military personnel. Public tags are issued through CDFW’s Big Game Drawing. Military personnel must apply directly to the Base. Additional Hunts G7 (Beale Air Force Base Either-Sex Hunt), G10 (Camp Pendleton Air Force Base Either-Sex Hunt), and G11 (Vandenberg Air Force Base Either-Sex Hunt) are for military personnel only.

Area-Specific Archery Hunts

These tags allow archery hunting in designated areas through- out the state, including X zones.
