Saw these videos on the thread asking what unit is the best in AZ. These guys shot bulls right out in the wide open spaces. Maybe it will help you. If not, it's still fun to watch. Good luck. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/47750-best-unit-in-az/page-3

I do the exact same thing. My boys haven't been drawn in 3 years. I quit putting them in for youth hunts because the G&F cut the tags so bad. I have sent several emails and responded to surveys having to do with youth opportunity. They preach we need to get the kids involved and then cut the tags??? This year I put both boys in for regular tags during the rut and they both got drawn. Early rifle bull and early cow muzzleloader. They have waited so long I wanted them to have a great hunt. They are excited they both get to actually hunt elk this year.

Can't wait to see the results. I need to see how much time I need for scouting. Boys either hit the lottery and got Unit 9 early rifle bull or they got muzzy cow unit 8 and wife got drawn for either muzzy bull in 6A or muzzy cow in Unit 8.

If past years are any indication, it should be next Tuesday or Wednesday. Last year it was April 2nd. They were still hitting a few cards this week, they need a little time to get the bonus points and results together and uploaded.

The reason you get so many different answers is because it is completely subjective. But as far as trophy potential goes, all the so called experts(guides, outfitters, etc.) seem to somewhat agree. They all seem to agree that 9 and 10 are the top two, followed by 23, 8 and 7W. The current Pope and Young typical record was shot in 10 and the non-typical was shot in 8. I realize these aren't hard numbers from the record book but I'm sure these guys have done their homework since they are paid to.

I would tend to agree with you. If it is like last year, it will be Tuesday or Wed. next week.

No problem. It's a common misunderstanding. I hope your son has a good hunt and gets one. Good luck.

Jr. elk tag is $50

FYI, they must be going alphabetically??, our last name starts with "A" and my wife's name is before mine alphabetically. They called her, and then two minutes later they called me. She also said they have a GRAND TOTAL of ONE CREDIT CARD MACHINE!!! lol So it should be like last year then. They posted results on April 2nd last year.

All the people asking how long they will be hitting credit cards got me wondering so I did some searches on the Game and Fish website and here is what I found....last year on March 12th they sent an email telling people they had one week to correct credit card info. On March 19 they started hitting credit cards. The results were posted on April 2nd. I have no idea how long they actually hit cards for though. Wish I did, maybe I would still have hope. I can't complain too much, I had a unit 8 archery bull tag last year and this year my wife and 2 sons got elk tags, just don't know what hunts yet.
