The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) is launching a new mobile app to download this hunting season, as well as an upgraded online licensing portal.
The main license purchasing web page is said to be similar to previous online license systems, but will offer more user-friendly customizations, including license listings based upon user residency, age and current license purchases.
The new system is also said to be more inclusive to all hunters and anglers in Arkansas. By the end of the year, AGFC states the interface will be available in both English and Spanish.
In addition to the new license system, the AGFC’s smartphone application relaunch will make it more compatible with today’s smartphones, and is said to make checking deer and turkeys possible without the need for cell phone service. Users will need to delete the old application from their phones and find the new application listed under “AGFC” in the Apple App store and the Google Play store. Once the new application is downloaded, users will need to log in to the same account as the website to ensure all license purchases are correct.
AGFC states when hunting seasons begin, the number of tags each license allows will be activated. The hunter can then log back into the app before the hunt to verify tags. After verification, hunters may use the tag locations in the app to check deer, bear, or turkey, even without a cell signal. Once the phone is back in range of data signals, the information will be sent, but the proof of the filled electronic tag on the hunter’s phone will serve as proof the hunter has electronically tagged their deer.
