I got to do some reading! I am for sure going to start playing the game more and putting in for more elk tags.

Post by: Bean Counter on December 20, 2012, 06:52:28 PM: Ok,.looks like lots of new cow tags in many of the units... Just a reduction in the Sept tags in one of the better trophy units... Nothing to see here folks, move along. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along! 8)

That is one of the top units, though. if you're willing to stoop down to a 300" bull there are lots.of.easier units to draw such as 4b or 6a.

Post by: Bean Counter on December 20, 2012, 08:12:14 PM: Yup. Which is why I'm glad they cut the cow elk hunt for Unit 10 in Sept.

Late season (Nov) archery tags are much easier to come by.

Depends on the weapon and the season.

http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/BonusPointProcess.shtml (http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/BonusPointProcess.shtml)

Lots of good info there on draw odds by 2012 hunt number and number of bonus points

Post by: WAcoueshunter on December 26, 2012, 10:08:44 AM: Hmmm, well I have 13 elk points, meaning I will have 14 for the draw. Choices, choices.... :chuckle:

Actually, I'm probably going to hold out another year or two so I can draw a Unit 9 tag.

Post by: Bean Counter on December 26, 2012, 10:16:17 AM: you have far more than my coworker who drew Unit 9 last year.
