Arizona....Whose in?

I'll take a look at the breakdown in 9...I've been applying for unit 1 archery and came to the conclusion that no tags were getting through based on how the draw broke down last year, and the same happened with the coues tag I apply for.  

I just took a look at Unit 9 archery.  Looks to me like the NR cap was reached well before the max point 20% was reached.  That was hunt number 3124 in 2009.  100 total tags, so 10 for NRs.  The max pool went down to 12 points per the report linked above, but there were guys with 14 points who put 9 down as their first choice and didn't get drawn.  Only explanation is that 10 of the first 12 people drawn (those with 16, 15, and 14 points) were NR's and the NR cap was met.  Doesn't give you a lot of hope if you've got less than 14 points.

I watched the trijicon hunting show today.  One of the guys that was hunting drew 1 of the 4 nonresident early rifle tags in unit 1 with only 4pts.  He killed a 390 bull.

unit 1 is a great hunt bulls screaming and running around every where.  when my hunting partner drew it i think there was 46 bulls to 100 cows.  i wish are state managed some of our units that way.  you literally could hardly sleep at night with them bugling all over.
