Outdoor WriterScotty,
I didn't draw either. So another point for each. I'm now up to 9 for elk and lopes.

458LottfanI don't know what happened this year but nearly everyone I know drew. I drew my second choice. The limited opportunity rifle any elk dates are Nov 5 - Dec 9 to many units in this hunt to list. First choice was 11M archery. I know 8 guys that drew. I was told that the number of applicants was down by around 20%. I only had 2 points. My last hunt was Sept 2008 rifle in 4B. Shot a nice 6X6.

Paul BNo antelope or elk tag for me again. This crap is getting old. I haven't dawn for a goat in 31 years now and it's been 6 years since i go an elk tag. Piss on AZ, I can get a goat hunt in New Mexico again from the same outfitter and he also has a very reasonable cow elk hunt. Well at least it's cheap enough I can swing it.
Bull elk,well you'd best have a Bill Gates type of income. Now if I can get some of these damn credit card bills paid off. I had to spring for some repairs on the roof of the house and my shed after a storm we had a while back. I hate this unexpected stuff.

COYOTE HUNTERI drew 7 West early archery! I had 9 points. Can't wait! If anyone has suggestions/info that they wouldn't mind passing along I would be very appreciative. Don't know if I will ever draw an Arizona elk tag again the way the point creep is going.
