TN what did you decide on for this year? I hunted the late rifle in 2023. I had a blast, and had some chances that didn't quite come together, but it was a tough hunt. Tons of tags, and another hunter really screwed me up towards the end of the hunt (public land, i get it). I believe I drew and...
I always shoot for the stars with my first choice. With AZs draw structure if that hunt does not have more tags alloted, they look at your second choice before moving on. I drew an early archery tag this year, just waiting to find out which unit! Only had 4 points
Looking at GoHunt, it does appear that the early rifle hunt on 3A/3C is not happening this year. Didn't check the actual regs, but noticed that hunt isn't listed.
I gave up hope on Wednesday when my card wasn't hit, and told my wife I wasn't hunting Arizona this year.... Then Thursday morning i was very surprised to see the card charge! I had to go back to her and break the news... early archery elk in September!
