Unit 1 early rifle bull hunt, 26 points going into draw!

I have 26 points and am a resident. I’ve always wanted unit 1 early rifle, maybe this is the year!

I have 25 points, been holding out for unit 1 early rifle. I may do a bonus point this year, in order to hopefully draw unit 1 next year.

Here’s a pic of my son. He’s in the middle.

Tell me more. Really, I had 24 points this last elk draw, no dice. I now have 25. I have had a lifetime license since 2015.

Hope you guys find them. Those are good binos, have had a set for years. They have been everywhere with me just had them in Costa Rica last week

If sale falls through let me know!

I like the system the way it is. I also have 24 points for elk, 19 for antelope and 7 for deer. I knew/know the odds when I started applying for the hunts I want (although if I could go back in time, I would never apply for early rifle elk!). I've talked to hunters who have drawn the hunts I apply for who have less points, I'm always happy for them. Luck of the draw! When I started applying for elk/antelope, you had to send in a check or money order for the total cost, that explains why I'm 5 less points for antelope than elk! As far as the money spent on applications etc... it's the cost of getting into the the dance, one day the the Draw Goddess will notice me on the dance floor and I will get lucky! Or as it's turns out for elk, she'll take pity on this dude and I'll be in the max points draw. For my son and my nephews, I started putting them in for hunts or at least bonus points once they could hunt. One change I could see AZGFD making that I would support, is antelope being a "once in a lifetime".

Sierra Vista is home, I own the Alpine Garage in Alpine

Oh that must be a wrist snapper! Shot a Thompson Center 45/70 it was stout. This pistol would go perfect with my Ruger #1 in 45/70!

I will take whatever’s left, problem is I’m in Sierra Vista and Alpine!

Been doing this since I was a kid, seems to be pretty dang close!

Thanks for all the input. I applied 23n 1st choice and 23s 2nd. Good luck to everyone in the draw!
