Point creep / Deer

How bad is it going to be on a good moisture year following a terrible moisture year.
I have 12 pts and hoping to draw a early rifle NR tag. Took 10 pts last year but feel it will be tough odds.
 
You should be good. The early hunts are tough and have a bad reputation. Because of the good antler growth I have been trying to convince buddies to apply for the early season this year and they refused. They applied for the late season because the thought of a late season tag this year is exciting. I am a resident and I applied for early Kaibab.
 
Make sure and get a receipt when you pay him for his points. That way there is a good paper trail for AZGFD that they can track back to this thread.
 
To be clear, I am a NR. The early rifle 12A west deer took 10 pts last year and will take 11 pts just due to normal point creep. I was wondering if due to a good moisture year that point creep would jump more than 1 pt? I already put my application in as an individual. No group application for me, just hoping to pull a tag!

I guess as a new resident I got lucky last year and drew 12A west early tag with 0 points.

Who?s paying for points?
 
My plan has been to hold out for a late Kaibab tag. But, I was still tag-less this year. I was toying with the idea of applying for an early tag with 14 points, if I didn't draw CO deer. Luckily I drew my CO buck tag, so I'll be looking to luck into a random late tag now.

I would imagine you might see some point creep but from what I'm hearing ALOT of guys with big points are going strip or bust so that may help you. Quite a few guys last year point guarded with the drought year so there all chomping at the bit this year.
