Thanks, found it on page 4 of the regs.  I missed that before, but the 10% cap doesn't apply once you move out.

http://www.azgfd.gov/regs/springregs.pdf

Unfortunately that doesn't change the fact that you can go spend your 6 months in AZ to get a lifetime license and still be stuck behind 10,000 residents competing for 104 tags each year, and 20% of those go to max point holders.  A new applicant is not going to catch up when max is 26.

lol at all the 'EXPERTS" in this thread that need to take their foots out of their mouths. Instead of typing maybe you should research a little before you type up completely wrong info. Thank you for proving once again why you should never trust what you read in a forum. Carry on all you 'EXPERTS'



I have called an it is the same in AZ as it is in ID. Also there is a thread on MM about it right now for AZ. And the other benefit is that it will help you draw other species as well. AZ has some of the best elk, deer, and pronghorn hunting in the world. ID you have a better chance to draw goat and moose after you draw sheep. Also neither state has a guaranteed 10% of tags going to non res. They are both "up to 10%" so as a non res with a lifetime license you have a shot at 100% of the tags not 90%.

Here is a snippet from AZ.
Lifetime License Holders
If a lifetime license holder changes residency
status from Arizona, the licensee must then
purchase non-resident stamps, tags, and
permits. older A non-resident tag or stamp can accompany
your lifetime resident license. If
you are a lifetime license holder that has
moved out of state, the 10 percent non-resident
cap does not apply to you.
The lifetime
license will remain legal for the taking of all
wildlife as permitted by law. Residency may
be re-established after moving back to Arizona
and meeting the required time period as
defined below.
Residency Requirements
“Resident” means a person who is domiciled
(claims the state of Arizona as their true,
fixed and permanent home and principal
residence) in this state for six months immediately
preceding the date of application for
a license, permit, tag, or stamp and does not
claim residency for any purpose in another
state or jurisdiction; or is a member of the
armed forces of the United States on active
duty and stationed in: (i)This state for a period
of thirty days immediately preceding the
date of applying for a license, permit, tag, or
stamp; (ii) Another state or country but who
lists this state as their home of record at the
time of applying for a license, permit, tag, or
stamp.
Arizona Residents may purchase a resident
license. All other individuals must purchase a
non-resident license.

Take it easy lol  :chuckle:  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

Move to Idaho for six months, pay $1100 for a lifetime license, pack up and move to Arizona to live there for another six months, pay $600 for a lifetime license, and then move where you really want.

Whatever floats your boat.

If you guys are willing to do all of that and drag your family all over the country just so you have some better draw odds, you're a hell of a lot more dedicated than me.  Have at it.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The strategy would work well for a young guy.  If a kid right out of highschool could move to AZ and get a college degree while living there and get the lifetime license, then after graduation, get a job in Idaho and after living there long enough for residency, get the lifetime license there.  Then they are set.   :twocents:

I bought the Idaho lifetime license when I lived over there 20 years ago. It was like $400 which was alot for me back then but glad I did it. I apply every year for hard to draw tags and the last few years for mt goat and I have NEVER drawn a tag yet even tho I am supposedly in the resident draw. It has saved me a bunch of license fees but not helped me draw a tag.  :bash: Maybe this is my lucky year.

Save your money for five years and go on a dall hunt before those prices go through the roof even more, you won't regret it.  If you wait till you draw in the lower 48 you may never go sheep hunting.
