    I like how Inconsistent it all is. Keeps you guessing twice a year about how screwed up it will be. 
     

    and you could say “how do you know it’s screwed up”

    because they just had that thing with the lifetime license guys not getting tags in the elk draw

     

    the only logical explanation is that it’s absolutely f’d even worse than the last elk draw. 

    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.


  2. 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".

    23 years ago I put in for an easy to draw unit and went hunting.  I cant imagine waiting 23 years to go hunting.  

    I hear you, I cant imagine not hunting for 23 years! I hunt every year, been fortunate to hunt some places many people will never get to. Just haven't drawn elk in Arizona. Truth be told, if I had known how long it would take to draw, I never would have applied for early rifle. At some point, you accrue enough bonus points, that only applying for the early rifle makes since.

  4. I have 23 points going into the draw this year. I was pretty confident I would draw unit 1 early rifle last year with 22 points. That is the hunt I have always wanted. Looking at odds, unit 23n, 23s, 3a/3c and 27 are viable this year, everything else should be a given. My dilemma is should I keep waiting on unit 1, or go for another unit? Looking for suggestions, thanks.   


  5. I own Vista Auto Care in Sierra Vista and The Alpine Garage in Alpine. We are looking for an experienced Auto Technician and a Tire/Battery/Lube Tech in Alpine. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being outdoors. We offer competitive pay, paid time off, paid holidays and the ability to be hunting in units 1 and 27 in a matter of minutes! I can be reached at 520-249-1211 or through email at Clint@SVautocare.com
