Confirmed negative via a fresh primary-source check, per plan 8's 1b (existing raw capture was silent on rail). AZGFD's own codified definition of 'migratory game bird' (Commission Rule R12-4-101, quoted directly from a full read of the 2026-27 Arizona Hunting Regulations PDF): 'wild waterfowl, including ducks, geese and swans, Sandhill cranes, all coots, all gallinules, common snipe, wild doves and bandtail pigeons' -- rail is conspicuously absent. Corroborated by an exhaustive full-text search of both the 2026-27 Arizona Hunting Regulations compilation and the Arizona Waterfowl and Snipe Regulations pamphlet: zero occurrences of 'rail,' 'sora,' 'Virginia rail,' 'king rail,' or 'clapper' in either document; no Commission Order sets a rail season. Direct document reads, not WebSearch synthesis.
