I actually like 4b.  Had a 380-390 bull on cam there when I had that tag years ago.  

Common place in 4b

Everybody gonna run cams in 4b, nobody will hunt it though.

Can they tell me about the bulls when I get drawn for the archery hunt this year? Or would that be illegal

If there are power lines in 4B that's where i would concentrate.

It's fun watching the top units change over the years.  9 and 10 and even when the world record archery was out of unit 8.

23 years ago I put in for an easy to draw unit and went hunting.  I cant imagine waiting 23 years to go hunting.

23 all the way. S before N if you're in good shape. 23s took 25 points last year but they added 5 tags this year so that should help. Personal opinion be happy you didn't draw 1 and can now go for 23. However, I don't think 23 points gets you as much as you think. Here's a breakdown of those units last year. 22 didn't draw any of those in the bonus pass and 23 barely did in 1 and 23n. All those guys at 22 with you last year now have 23 like you and those guys with 23 and 24 last year that didnt draw are still there. So good chance 23 won't get you a bonus pass tag this year either. There's 12-20 guys with the same amount points or more going for those hunts. If you're the last one to draw could be a few more years.

What website did you get that from? It looks a lot easier to understand than what I found on the AZGFD Site.

Thanks for all the input. I'm in decent shape, walk 4-5 miles everyday, and hike when I can. I'm not in the shape I was in when I started putting in for an early rifle tag, but I'll be ready for the hunt when I draw. Being that I will never put in for a early rifle tag once I draw, I will more than likely hire a guide.

I hear you, I cant imagine not hunting for 23 years! I hunt every year, been fortunate to hunt some places many people will never get to. Just haven't drawn elk in Arizona. Truth be told, if I had known how long it would take to draw, I never would have applied for early rifle. At some point, you accrue enough bonus points, that only applying for the early rifle makes since.

TopRut. You have to pay a fee for the access.
