How the AZ Draw Process works! Good video!!!

Recommended Posts

That is a great little video for anyone who has questions about how the Arizona draw system works. It is a bit more complicated than a straight lottery system like New Mexico uses.

Yea I never understood the out of state stuff, this is kind of nice to know as I have invited a couple of buddies to come hunt here this year.

Ok, so now I'm confused about the bonus pass and going to second choice. Anyone understand that and can explain it?

In the bonus pass and the 1-2 pass the computer looks at your first choice if you have a low enough random number you get a tag if your first choice is full they automatically look at your second choice if there are tags still left you get one if not you go back to the draw for the second pass where you are reissued a new random number and they do the whole thing again.

Yes, I understand that's how it was explained on the video but I thought 20% bonus pass was per hunt number, is that not the case?

Yes it's per a hunt number unless there aren't enough tags to make 20%, also doesn't apply to bighorn sheep and possibly buffalo.

Someone could sneak in a higher demand hunt on their second choice as long as they made the bonus pass on first choice?

I could be wrong but I believe the computer looks at both your 1st and 2nd choices to make sure you have enough points to get in the 20% pass for both hunts.

The way the bonus pass is administered is that all applications are reviewed for the bonus pass. They start with the applications that have the max number of points and evaluate their first two choices before moving down to the next highest point level. If there are multiple people with that number of points, they are issued random numbers and reviewed from lowest to highest.

 

This process continues until the 20% bonus pass is met for all hunts.
