I certainly won't discount it. Or maybe a wallow during mid day. Just prefer to be up and chasing them if it can be productive.

I've got 15 now. That won't get me the unit I had dreamed about, but at my age (67) it's time to hunt AZ. Points needed for the better units just keep going up faster than I can accumulate them. Yotebuster, I see you're from Williston. You don't happen to know Craig Richardson there do you?

Sure sounds like a blast and exactly what I'm hoping for.

I still live in Wisconsin but we are down here for a few months escaping winter with our travel trailer. Next week I'll be up north of Phoenix and hope to take a day or two to drive up for a look around. Not really scouting per se, just seeing what the areas look like. I am only looking at the early archery hunts. I'm not gaining any ground on the primo units so hoping to find one with good elk numbers and a decent chance at a 300 class bull. Bigger is great, but not required to have a fun hunt for me.

I had to look that one up. But thank you very much. The welcome I've had here with my very first post is incredible. I appreciate everyone who took the time to read and respond. I will certainly try to reciprocate when I can.

Yes. Pretty frustrating after donating literally thousands of dollars to build up enough points to MAYBE have a chance at drawing a tag once in my lifetime. But whatever. They have better things to do I guess,

That's a great suggestion, thanks. Anybody have knowledge of five Boy Sam?😉 Private message replies are appreciated!

I have 15 going in to this year. I am pretty familiar with the odds and have been tracking a number of units for quite awhile. I've seen what point creep has done lately so have built that in to my hopes and expectations. It's not pretty, and at my age I can't afford to wait forever. But thanks!
