NEWS RELEASE April 22, 2024 PHOENIX — Once again, hunters have stepped up in a big way in their financial support of wildlife conservation efforts across the state. The most recent limited-entry permit-tag draw offered hunters a chance to receive an additional hunt permit-tag for elk, mule...

They have to pay for that information but if they want it it's public record.

I donated for 5 of the 6 hunts

There were a 128 NR that put that hunt as a 1st and 2nd choice. Plenty pf combinations to come away with 5 tags.

No, the most applicants that can apply on 1 application are 4 and that goes for R & NR.

How was he liked before he was let go?

Wasn't one of your directors from AZ a few years ago?

Go to the AZGFD.gov website and type in the search function bonus report it will take you to the area you can find it.

MD numbers have never been lower, sheep numbers haven't exploded with all that money and Antelope numbers are terrible. Elk and the other species are doing just fine. AZGFD can easily make up that money with their limited tags they're offering. As for price increases they're probably way over...

My guess is they will have another 4-6 tags for hunts later in the year

All goes to MD projects.

It hasn't been decided yet how they will do the 3 tags other than starting in 2026 there will be no more auction tag. Time will tell if the new strategy makes the same money or close to it. One thing is for sure all the money from the auction tags so far hasn't put more MD on the landscape in...

The only 3 species where auction out did raffles were Mule deer, Elk and Bighorn. All the money in the world hasn't helped the MD at all. Elk are doing just fine and Bighorns in AZ do ok until disease gets them which is usually do to contact with domestic sheep and predators.

If you ever look at the pictures for the deer and elk they are almost always in velvet usually killed within weeks of the tag being valid and right before they strip their velvet and the regular hunts start. If you are also familiar with AZ you know hunts start in August and then there is an...

Curious as to what makes it a bad idea

The raffle tags have also had nothing but a positive effect and the now 3 raffle tags will do the same. Your accusation about the money and how it is being spent is pure BS. The 3 raffle tickets will still all go to the HPCA and if you can prove it doesn't by all means please share.

There is still OTC deer tags. The AZ residents just got tired of all the NR coming down for the hunts and got the OTC tags for NR put at a 10% cap, something that should have been done long before the influencers showed up. Honestly OTC mule deer tags during the rut should be eliminated for both...

I hated the fact that they paid those guys but it was a pretty good deal for the department from a business standpoint. They made a great deal of money off the exposure they got from those guys to put back into wildlife.

. A parent, grandparent, or guardian issued a tag may transfer the unused tag to a minor child or grandchild at any time prior to the end of the season for which the unused tag was issued

You'd get more shade off the 3ft tall mesquite trees in that country. I'll tell Frank you said hi the next time I see him :ROFLMAO: Glad to hear you'll be staying out of 36B.

You really put yourself out there camping right by the check station. 4 miles from I-19 and 23 miles from the actual border. I never said anything about the illegal traffic and I agree trash and traffic is way down from what it was 20 years ago. In fact on the 5 trips I've been down south this...

Born and raised in AZ and I can assure you I spend more time on the AZ boarder in one month than you have in your last 6 trips and this year is by far the least amount of Border Patrol presence I've seen in the last 20 years. Arivaca check station closed, highway 83 closed, 82 closed 191 south...

According to the information provided at the AZGFD commission meeting both lost their licenses for 16 years in Utah and AZGFD slapped them both with 5 year suspensions in AZ.

Definitely Happy Jack

My 21 year old son loves bird hunting, been training his own dogs since he was 14. He recently drove 13 hours from AZ and hunted 2 days killing his limit both days. He said he seen at least a 100 sage grouse in those 2 days. Those are some big ole birds.

The max points for Bison is 57 and there are 375 Residents and 75 NR with 16 points so you're a long ways from the bonus pass but with AZ's draw there is always a chance in the random.

It took 19 NR points to get in the bonus pass for 12AW early this year

It took 13 to get into the bonus pass

It took 7 points this year for Residents just to get into the bonus pass for the Kaibab archery.

Javelina, Turkey and Buffalo you can earn 2 points a year so that helps.

I had 15 points when I drew mine, my son had 21 points when he drew his. My daughter on the other hand drew one at 12 yrs. old with 2 points and her 2nd tag at 16 yrs old.

There is someone with 36 for Turkey too.

NR are 10% total, before AZ changed the allocation the 10% cap was maxed out in the bonus pass, to keep NR applying AZ changed the percentage to the new 5% in the bonus pass and the up to 5% for the random portion.

Are you saying you would rather see a 90/10. The way AZ's draw is now for the premium hunts It's more like 15/5. Residents get 15% in the max pool and NR get their 5%. AZ rules say NR can get up to 10% but they don't have to get 10% but all one has to do is look at the bonus reports every year...

The first year it went to draw there were 1000 tags and there were leftovers.
