Sent in my apps Tuesday for archery elk also sent in antelope for points.

Seems cheep next to the special Wyoming elk and Moose

Also did Utah elk and moose and bought some valles caldera tickets this week. Oooh and also the Kentucky elk lottery for 10 bucks.

Not yet.  I'll buy my license down there OTC next week when I go for archery coues.

What units did you guys put down?  Did you go for the bigguns (9, 10) or something easier to draw?  Just curious.  I'll probably try to win the lottery with Unit 9 as my first choice, but then put down another unit as a more realistic 2nd choice.  I know more about other units (1, 2, 3 and , so one or two of those will be my other choices.

8 and 3B

[WAcoueshunter]

Man, I hope you pull one of those!!!

First choice unit 10 early rifle.  Second choice unit 1, 2b, 2c. (I think those are right) early muzzleloader.  Just want to hunt unit 1.
Also bought my antelope point.

Stamp if I draw you better go.

I'm thinking it over seriously.  I can't decide.  I don't ahve many points and wonder if I should get out while I can, or just work another shift and go for it.  I can't remember how Arizona works, if its basically a one shot deal meaning first choice is the only one that really matters like Idaho, or if its like NM where they go down the list and pick choice #3.  and...do you lose points.  I also thought about 3 over 9 and 10.  I don't know...may just skip it this year.  The thought of fronting that much cash just for nothing and then losing the $150. bah humbug.

Your first two choice are looked at before they go to the next guy.  I say apply.  You also loose your points if you draw.

Well hopefully I will be drawing one of those big bull or deer tags that I put in for. Good luck to everyone

Here is how the Points likely breakdown on the top AZ Units.  As you can see your odds don't ever improve enough to matter until you are in the max pool.  After 11 years your still less than 1% in units 9/10. and probably more units like 1/2/3.

Since AZ does not square points there is not much advantage to having a bunch of points unless you are max. So I say apply.

[vanhornhunter]

Just sent mine in for the first time since 97' when I lived there.There is other good areas besides 9,and 10 though.

[bucklucky]

I'll be putting in for my usual, archery 9 and 10. Gota keep them points comming.

[MuleySniper]

Ive considered it, but never have looked at the cost. Ive always heard it was spendy, but how much is "spendy"?? Not looking for exact numbers, just a ball park would be great.
Thanks,

151.25 for the license and about 595 for the tag.  Roughly 750 and you'll get about 585 back.
