jgraffaz Report post Posted February 4, 2015 I have a feeling we are going to see a significant reduction in draw success for the late archery hunts this year. why is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidso Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Because more people are finding out how easy it is to tag a late archery bull! I am now 0 for 3 on that late archery tag, so just two or three more years and I will be due for some meat based on the low statistical success rates for those hunts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted February 4, 2015 The applicant pool for those hunts has grown steadily since they were introduced a few years ago. Some of the hunts are easier than others, but for locals with time, they can be a great opportunity. I wouldn't mind doing one, but when I do it will be one with 25 tags not 400 and it won't be in canyon country. Anyway, this time of year is tough, waiting on draw results, tax return and my annual bonus all to come through about the same time. If I draw a tag it will be tough to hang on to any of that $. Keep posting guys, this is the time of year whens dreams are alive . . . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AverageJoe Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Yes late archery went from 100% draw for a few years in a row to 35-70% draw depending on the unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4Falls Report post Posted February 4, 2015 The success rate hasn't changed much, I think guys are sick of NOT elk hunting, hence more applicants for the tougher hunts. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesPursuit Report post Posted February 4, 2015 The success rate hasn't changed much, I think guys are sick of NOT elk hunting, hence more applicants for the tougher hunts. Harvest success hasn't changed you're right. But I was talking draw success to be reduced based significantly on the point you stated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas110 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 The success rate hasn't changed much, I think guys are sick of NOT elk hunting, hence more applicants for the tougher hunts. that was AZGFDs plan all along. hardly anymore elk killed, more cash in their pocket. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
