Arizona card hits.

[Wanderer]

I have a question for those that applied as a party and you have an Arizona account.  my wife and I applied and now when I look at the application I don't see that it's applying bonus points.  however when I look at my bonus point area I can see that I do have some.   anyone else have that going on ?

I did email AZGFD and asked so hopefully they can tell me something.

I have a pending charge too. I am in shock. Could it be? I applied for long shots because my dad should be drawing a Utah tag.

I hope it's true. How many points do you have?

I think I had 13. I applied for early archery 23N and 9.

If your dad draws Utah, that will be a busy fall for you guys!

It lives.

[WAcoueshunter]

10 early rifle or 9 early muzzleloader

Oh wow, a couple of nice options there!   

I put in for similar choices with my 20 points, but appears I wasn't so lucky!

[MAVsled]

with 12 points going into this year's draw, I was hopeful for an early archery bull tag.
no such luck for me as a non-resident applicant again.

but I'll make my September 3day scout trip as usual and listen to the elk bugle.
been trying for an AZ elk archery tag since age 49. try again next year (sigh)

Theres always next year

So if you put in for the draw and don't get drawn that is it, no Arizona hunting this year?  Are you just out the application fee and how much is that?  If you get drawn what is the cost for the non resident tag?

You are out the cost of a AZ hunting license ($160) plus the application fee.
Big game beside elk and Antelope are drawn in a few months, so still have that as an option since you already have a license, just have to apply for those draws and pray.

Is it good deer hunting?  I am not sure what I would call good but $160 license, whatever the deer tag costs and then travel to Arizona seems a little steep for deer hunting.

I didn't realize that it would take 10-20 years of putting in for one of these out of state tags.  That's a ton of money to put in, not get drawn and not be able to hunt.

Well if I publicly post that, it wouldn't be prudent to share trail cam photos of all the marginal dinks I'll be following this summer, would it?

It lives.

If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it

Just like deer and elk hunting here it can vary significantly.  Def not cheap hunt for sure, as you mentioned.  Deer tag is $315 ontop of the 160 license.  Hunt can range from never seeing anything, to being in B&C class deer every day and that is just in one given unit.  I got the only deer in camp last year, I was the only person to put eyes on a legal shooter and shot it without even caring about rack size as I was tired of tag soup.  That is some expensive meat in my freezer for sure since the deer are so tiny(Coues).  I am lucky I have family down there and just tag along on their hunt, so just have to get myself down there with all my gear if I draw the tag.
