Fugitive Report post Posted March 3, 2021 Anyone else show their Bonus points updated today? I'm only showing a loyalty and a hunters ed point. Hopefully that is a good sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JVS Report post Posted March 3, 2021 Just now, codyhuntsaz said: Where have you been? This IS going on. No, he said to pass tags to adults. Yes, It does happen for kids. Could you imagine if adults could receive a tag? No way. That would start an all out race and war to find the most friends to apply and pass their tag. No thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az300wby Report post Posted March 3, 2021 Who cares about bonus point updates! I want my 11 year old to get a tag! Early rifle bull, antelope, Strip tag, sheep, Buffalo, 23 Coues tag. Maybe a state wide tag for all species. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter1981 Report post Posted March 3, 2021 Lifers crying about how many points they have and newbies crying about how hard it is to draw premium hunts. Meanwhile un picky hunters draw late rifle bull hunts every other year. Realizing your strategy sucks must hurt but there’s no shame in rethinking it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about the guy (me) who applied for “regular” antelope tags...first 6 years rifle, next 10 years archery....then figured, heck with 18 points maybe I should try for a “premium tag”. And here I am with 27 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess my point only applies to elk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point is, if you don’t care about premium hunts and are interested in the sport, it makes no sense to accept 20+years of not hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az300wby Report post Posted March 3, 2021 The dude put in for 10 years of archery hunts! He is just unlucky. I drew 2 archery tags(2 in 10 years) and 1 muzz hunt(7 points) in 25 years. 3 tags New Mexico. Got a herd now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You won’t get a fight out of me on that...if I wanted a mediocre tag I could have had one by now. But to have the same odds at a “premium tag” as a person with just a couple points seems ridiculous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let’s hope...I’m still not in the bonus pass for the 1 hunt I applied for....silly me for wanting to hunt a specific unit. Haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That info was missing from the 27 points posts. Not everyone on here knows each other btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good on you and good luck I meant this more for people expecting high value hunts with a ton of points or no points al all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
