Steelhead fishing right now I’ll check when I get home

With 19pts or 17pts the same units were available (per Toprut & Gohunt). Only exception was Unit 3 early archery which dropped to less than 30% chance. Allows me to hunt with my buddy (hopefully). There were some other hunts but they conflict with scheduled huntin or fishin trips in other states. Wishing everyone a great season filled with limited entry tags!

Hello Everyone Thanks for all the advice and Info. My buddy decided to apply with me but he has less points. We ended up applying for Unit 22 south early Muzzleloader and Unit 1 early archery. Hopefully we will be in AZ this fall. Again thanks to everyone on this post.

Hey Guys thanks for all the input but I really didn't want to start any arguments. Pintail, I've taken a couple of 6 pt bulls, a few rag horns/spikes and lots of cows. I would really love something larger ( a toad) to end my days of AZ hunting. (might sneak back for Javelina?) But it's not just about Horns, I want some good memories of my last days on the mountain. I still climb the mountains but they just keep getting taller every year. It took me a month to recover from Colorado last year. Someone else asked if I planned to use a guide, Yes. With 19 pts on the line I need to get it right and can't learn an area with just a little pre season scouting. From my research from the info you fellas gave me and talking with others. I can just about pick any late season Archery tag, I have no chance at any early rifle hunt with the possible exception of 17A. Anyone see it different? Early Muzzleloader Unit 22 looks possible and Unit 10 should be 100%. Not seeing any other opportunities. Early Archery Unit 3A3C looks possible, along with Units 17a, 1, 15a. I welcome any input if you see something I'm not seeing or understanding. I haven't done any research yet on which units are the most promising, right now only looking for Units I know I can draw a tag. Hopefully "point creep" and/or a sudden interest in the unit that I apply for doesn't derail my plans and hopes. Only takes a mention in a magazine or blog to get folks all looking at the same unit. Wish everyone a Happy New Year filled with limited entry tags.

Don't really want to cash in all my bonus points for a cow tag. We get a cow nearly every year in Colorado, so I'm probably hunting my last bull with these bonus points.

Thanks to everyone for their help and info. I'll filter through it in the morning. Way past this old fella's bed time.

I give up, the point creep & AZ non resident rules keeps leaving me short of drawing a Bull tag for one of the premium units. AZ Game Dept used to publish the draw odds by point and by unit by species but I can't find them this year? Only finding the general draw odds by unit. Can someone with access to the data tell me what units I can draw a tag for 2020 (Trailhead or Toprut or ??) or point me to a site with the info? I'm 71 yrs old and don't have many more years where I can get to the top of the mountain. So this year I want to draw a AZ Bull tag. I would prefer a Rifle tag but Archery is not out of the question. Any assistance is very much appreciated.
