Hunt Whitetail plenty but where I hunt there are 750 tags not 75.

It's not a rut hunt so if you've done your homework you should have at least 5 days of hunting before the muley hunters show up, should be plenty of time.

All the information is in their hunt guidelines and recommendations. Wouldn't worry about the mule deer hunters if you're hunting hidden spots for whitetail.

Next weekend at any of the rim lakes will make the city BS look like a walk in the park.

My point is it doesn’t cost you anything more in Az as it does in ID or NM. You still pay for a license and app fee, so what is the negative of having a bonus point system. 80% of Az tags are a random draw

You pay an application fee and have to buy a license for a shot at a random tag every year but unlike a drug dealer you get nothing for your transaction. In Az. you do the exact same thing except you at least get something for your transaction( bonus point) and for most species you will eventually draw a tag, can't same the same for NM or Idaho.

just did 3 apps no problem

You still haven't shown how the odds are better with a random draw as opposed to AZ's 80% random draw but thanks for trying to follow along. If you actually put in for a hunt number I don't see where you're buying a stupid point you're still going to pay the app fee so it's nice to know you get something for it. As for ID that's awesome you still have resident odds but I'll bet money if your putting in for their sought after hunts you're not hunting those every year.

I think your logic about many more would have better odds is a little flawed, if its pure random wouldn't every one have equal odds no one better than the other. As for the commercialization of hunting that ship sailed, high end optics, long range guns, range finders super fast bows, raffle tags, auction tags, tags donated to non-profit tags and the guiding industry just to name a few, but it's all good I also don't need you to agree with me. You always have New Mexico and Idaho I don't believe either of those states have a bonus point system.

The commission meeting is June 11th for the trail cam decision.

That's 12 per a hunt times 5 hunts.

Statistically it didn't. People were getting back in the draw after waiting their 3 years and getting drawn again before people who hadn't drawn a first time. That's why the AZGFD ditched the 3 year wait.

Is it going to make doing your time any faster by just doing a random draw. The majority of people are just going to be unlucky and again 80% of the tags are put into a random draw already.

They ditched that in the 80's because it didn't work and that was when there was probably half the demand there is for tags now.

I don't understand the whole I wish it would just go all random. 80% of our draw is random. There's a reason the state went to a bonus point system in the early 90's and that's because people couldn't draw tag then. Now you have 214,000 apps for elk and antelope and probably only going to get worse. I like the fact that I know i will eventually get a tag if I do my time and I also like the fact I know in every draw that 80% of the tags go into a random draw.

You think maybe they didn't put a hard deadline to update because they learned a valuable lesson in the last draw. Now the only deadline they need to worry about is tags are mailed by August 9th and unless the world ends they'll make that deadline no problem.

Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes and you're probably one of those ones that wait until the last day anyways.

AZGFD is the ones doing the draw for them 😂

That used to be when you could apply using paper application. I haven't seen anyone complaining about their portal accounts anymore. I believe the fall draw will be ok and opened within a week.

You used to could get a companion tag with your Kaibab tag and those tags didn't harvest anymore buffalo than the way they do it now in fact less were harvested.
