Bucks&bulls Report post Posted August 18, 2022 Moved to Arizona in 1982 from Iowa and fell in love with this great State! I have hunted, fished and explored as much as time allowed and still didn’t put a dent in what Arizona has to offer those who enjoy the outdoors. My wife and I will be moving back to Iowa soon and while I am excited to be close to family, a huge chunk of my heart will remain here. I have conversed with some of you through this forum and met or bought/sold items with others. All great people in my book. Thanks to all for contributing to this site and everything we do as hunters and angler’s to keep Arizona such a great place to enjoy the outdoors.

The benefit is that you are not paying for a nonresident license every year that you apply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kev, I will only be sitting on 2-1/4 acres but if you bow hunt I could hook you up! I know a bunch of people there so I should be able to get you access to good ground… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted August 19, 2022 56 minutes ago, Bucks&bulls said: See the other thread trphyhntr started. If you buy the lifetime license you would apply as a non-resident, but get counted in the resident pool for draw odds and %. You still pay NR tag fees but have resident draw odds. Just something to consider. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Side question, So just to make sure it's still one Buck per calender year regardless of the new quotas right? Pretty sure that's the case I just don't remember.
