Arizona....Whose in?

[boneaddict]

I think I am sitting at 5 along with 2400 other non-residents.

I would probably stay in with 5 points, Bone.   Especially for elk.

You should definitely stay in for elk just dont get sucked into applying for the best units. The average units are superior to Washington and you will draw if you stick with their "decent" units and go for archery or late rifle. If you try for the premium you are not even in the draw because the non resident cap is achieved before the maximum point part of the draw is over so by the time the random draw occurs there are no "live tags left for non ressy's. If you draw you just get tossed back in. I have friends who have hunted some of the non publicized units and they saw lots of bulls over 330 and some in to the 360's. Any unit in Arizona is capable of producing a 380 bull in a good moisture year. I would not quit now! Just do points if you can't go.

im debating whether to put in this year or not i got drawn for a late hunt in unit 23 north 2 years ago seen some monster bulls and also missed one the bulls were still bugling on nov 7 the day it opened my wife is from az and her parents have a cabin in the payson area so it made it really fun for a late bowhunt

i think with the loyalty point a few back we have 7 or 8 elk points in arizona

I don't think  I will be buying my 4K in Idaho Supertag tickets!

Thats alot of tickets

[boneaddict]

No doubt.  I would sure love that hunt though.   I think I'd buy that much in Arizona for the Strip for a buck though.  I am so debating but will probably pulll the trigger.  23 was on my short list.

Sorry to butt into the thread to ask a question not related to Arizona, but how can one see how many points he has in for Washington? I have put in for moose and sheep but can't remember when and how many times, just curious. Sorry for the dumb question.

[boneaddict]

log in and look at your history.  You can see all the years you put in, just count them.   That is the easiest way.  You should be getting a mailer here shortly that will tell you.

I was looking for the link but can't find it at the moment on their site.

I probably have a better chance of drawin 9 in Arizona than I do a big bull hunt here in Washington.  Now thats pitiful. 

[WDFW-SUX]

I think your right about that...

[zhunter]

hey bone i hunted a lot in Arizona when i lived there was lucky enough to draw 4 out of 5 years for elk and drew 3 years for the north rim deer hunts in 12a what units are you looking at. that late hunt in 23 is a good hunt but if it rains much it is tough.

I am in!!! Along with Wyoming boy there goes a chunk of change
