This document serves as official permission from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) to legally participate in hunting and/or fishing activities within the state’s boundaries. It signifies that an individual has met specific requirements, such as residency or completion of hunter education, and has paid the necessary fees to support wildlife conservation efforts. Possession of this authorization allows individuals to pursue designated game animals and fish species during established seasons and within regulatory guidelines.
The issuance of this authorization plays a critical role in funding vital conservation initiatives, including habitat management, wildlife research, and law enforcement. Revenue generated through sales directly supports the AGFC’s ability to protect and enhance Arkansas’s natural resources for present and future generations. Historically, these permissions have evolved from simple permits to complex systems tailored to manage diverse species and ensure sustainable harvesting practices, reflecting a commitment to responsible stewardship of the state’s natural heritage.
