Thanks Guys,

I hope to draw a 6A Archery Bull tag this year. But will just have to wait and see. They really screwed us over last season , by spilting the archery season into 2 seven day hunts.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a zonie (zona)? Whatever, but if it has to do with elk, cool.

Widgnwhacker,
    Thanks. I am from CA. I would like to hunt elk in AZ, but so far the draw has not let me. I now have 7 points for elk and sheep, 3 for deer and antelope. Yes, I got the supplemental hunter education point in AZ. Since I just found out I have a good Wyoming elk tag in hand, I will try for an early rifle elk and 13B deer this year. Of course, I would throw the WY elk tag in the roundfile for a desert bighorn tag. Looks like one more point coming all around.

Eric,

With that many BOGUS points you should get some type of tag real soon I would expect. Saw some really nice BIGHORNS on the river this winter in some of our Duckholes. Easy 100-200 shots. Nice BIG Rams!! What area are you trying to hunt Elk and Deer in??

Widgnwhacker,
    I get amused at the hunters who think points are the answer to their problems also. I have points coming out of my a$$ in several states. They more penalize those who do not have them than help those who do. Also, once you are in, they limit your options. Anyway, I think a 6A archery tag would be fine, in the years that I draw no other elk tag first, I put it down as my second choice. I have been putting 9 or an early bull rifle tag as my first. For deer, I really do want 13B. I kind of see BOGUS points as a way to force people to buy licenses.

Eric,

Just a suggestion , you may want to change the way you are submitting your application. Some of the hunts that you mentioned are extremely difficult for Residents to draw. Just a thought? You also stand a greater chance of being drawn during the archery season if you don't mind hunting Cows. You have to remember that only 10% of the Bull tags go to Non-residents. Also I don't think that BOGUS points force anyone to buy licences. But they do give you another shot at the draw. It just depends on what you are willing to hunt and how long you want to wait to do it..

WW,
    Yes, you are right, but I figure that if I just want to hunt elk or deer, I will go to ID or CO (or even CA for deer). I am willing to wait for something special in AZ. I hope for one really huge bull in my life, and AZ might be my best chance.
