I will try again. No non-resident with out the maximum points for deer of 9 going into the 2006 draw will get a strip tag or any other premium tag, zero, none, no way to do it. Last year in the 2005 draw there were 305 people that had max points that put in for the strip, the majority of which were non-residents. This year the non-residents will draw only 10% of the tags. This leaves over 20 years remaining before all max holders that put in for the strip get a tag. It is even higher than that as non-residents make up a higher percentage of the max point holders going for the strip than do residents. If you don't have max, move to another unit.
That being said, residents do have a chance as they compete in the lottery for the remaining 80% of the tags. Last year on the strip if you calculate out the people with 8 then 7 bonus points etc. down to 0 points and the chances each of them had it was a total of 22,277 chances at the random number generator to get one of the limited tags. So if you had no bonus points coming into the draw for the first time your chance was 1 in 22,277 at a tag. If you had 5 bonus points plus 1 for the year or 6 chances it was 6 out of 22,277. You can calculate your chances, they are just pretty poor to get a limited strip tag, but at least a resident has a chance at a tag. Non-residents without max have no chance at a tag. With this being said, my dad three years ago got a strip tag without any bonus points as he had a late Kaibab tag the year before and he doesn't have the hunter education permanent point. Not bad, but he is a resident and non-residents are not moving into the 80% lottery for tags on the premium hunts as all 10% of non-resident tags are going in the 20% bonus draw.
I would assume that Arizona will change in a few years but until then, it is not a good draw situation for non-residents. If you are a non-resident without max bonus points, put in for a unit that doesn't get pounded with non-residents with max points. Unless you are patient enough to wait for over 20 years if the system doesn't change.
