Since a few of you have been saving up for an Arizona elk tag, regularly put in, or are thinking about applying, I thought I'd share this recent rule change that was implemented to help NRs get drawn more. There is still a 10% cap on NR tags for every hunt/unit; however, now only half of those tags will go in the bonus point pass. The other half will go to NRs outside of the bonus point pass and give them better odds of getting drawn sooner than every 10+ years. So if you have lower bonus points in Arizona, you will have a better chance of getting drawn instead of all NR tags being taken in the bonus point pass. I'm hoping that means that Tony and Randy will be down here this September, in a year where I have a lesser chance of getting drawn. Then I don't have to feel too bad for saying "Sorry, I've got my own tag to worry about!" and can go hunt with them! Let me know if you have any questions!
