Savageman25 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 So this will be my first time putting in for the draw (elk) here in Arizona. I'm a new Hunter. I would like to put meat in the freezer, plain and simple. If it takes me being in tough terrain so be it. I will be using a rifle and would of course like to be able to be in an area to glass if at all possible. I live in Prescott so I would like to stay within 2-3 hours driving distance which is basically doable since it seems elk are prevalent in these parts. That's the criteria, what would you put in for, top 5? Best chance of me actually getting a tag and getting some food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savageman25 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 I would also like to state that I would love for someone to show me the ropes of elk hunting. If someone is so kind I would be in your debt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted January 29, 2016 Your first choice is actually easier to draw then your second choice so if your name comes up most likely that's what you'll get. You're 3rd 4th and 5th choices won't matter as they won't have leftover tags in them. Looks like you have a 13.8% chance on your first choice with no points. Get your hunters safety if you don't alreay have it and youll double your chances every year. Also come one here a little earlier next year and you'll get a little more feedback before you apply. Likely could have drawn a late bull tag nearly as easy as that tag and there are some cow tags with much better draw odds. Good luck in the draw! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
