Most updates are administrative, such as improvements to online accounts. However, hunters can expect a slight increase in the number of rifle tags and a small decrease in archery tags. This adjustment reflects Arizona\u2019s responsiveness to population trends and habitat conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After receiving drought relief in 2022 and 2024, Arizona\u2019s elk populations are showing signs of recovery. With continued moisture, the state may further increase tag allocations in the future. Currently, Arizona is home to approximately 35,000 elk, thanks to reintroduction efforts by the Elks Club in Winslow and Hollobrook back in 1913.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona Elk and Pronghorn Costs and Fees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona remains one of the most affordable states for non-resident hunters, with no recent increases in license fees, application fees, or tag fees. Here\u2019s a breakdown of the costs:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Item<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Cost<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">License (Non-Resident)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$160.00 (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youth<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:$5.00)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-Refundable Fees<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$15.00 per species<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Point Guard<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$10.00 per species<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Point Guard Plus<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$25.00 (covers 3 draw cycles)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elk Tag (Non-Resident)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$650<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pronghorn Tag<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$550<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona\u2019s upfront costs are non-refundable, meaning you must pay the tag fee, application fee, and transaction fee when applying. However, the state offers Point Guard and Point Guard Plus programs to protect your bonus points if you\u2019re unable to hunt after drawing a tag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona&#8217;s Draw System and Odds<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona uses a modified Bonus Point system with two draws:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preference Point Draw: 20% of tags are allocated to the highest point holders.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus Point Draw: The remaining 80% of tags are distributed based on bonus points.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-residents are limited to 10% of the total tags, with some exceptions for Limited Opportunity Hunts. Draw odds are notoriously tough, with over 51,000 non-residents currently holding elk points\u2014nearly 10,000 of whom have 10+ points.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategies for Applying in Arizona &#8211; Sponsored by <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"GOHUNT Website (Articles)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hunttalk.com\/strategy\/recommends\/gohunt-website-articles\/\">GOHUNT<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to efficiently research and apply for Arizona elk hunts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tool_type=cl&amp;merchant_id=169eddf5-26e6-48d4-abaa-d0b09ca64199&amp;website_id=e830f0d2-aece-419d-b3c7-02ed34ecdbf5&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fgohunt.com%2Fbrowse%2Fapplication-strategies%2Fapplication-strategy-how-to-apply-for-arizona-elk-and-antelope-tag-draw-tips-strategies-and-tactics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona Strategy Article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This comprehensive guide provides in-depth insights into unit selection, hunt timing, and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gohunt.com\/insider\/units?state=arizona\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filtering 2.0<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Narrow down units based on your criteria, such as success rates, trophy potential, and public land access.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analyze <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tool_type=cl&amp;merchant_id=169eddf5-26e6-48d4-abaa-d0b09ca64199&amp;website_id=e830f0d2-aece-419d-b3c7-02ed34ecdbf5&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fgohunt.com%2Finsider%2Fdraw-odds%3Fstate%3Darizona\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw Odds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Review the odds for your preferred units over the past five years to identify trends.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When selecting hunt codes, focus on your first two choices. Your first choice should be a \u201cswing for the fences\u201d option, while your second choice should be a more realistic backup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona Public Land and Access<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 60% of Arizona is public land, including State Trust Lands accessible with a hunting license. Most elk and pronghorn populations reside on public land, making it easier to find productive hunting areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: How does the Loyalty Point and Hunter Education Point work?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loyalty Point: Earned after applying for the same species for five consecutive years. It remains intact as long as you continue applying annually.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hunter Education Point: Permanently awarded after completing a hunter education course (now available online for $300).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: Can I return a tag?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, Arizona allows you to return a tag to restore your points, but you will not receive a refund for the tag itself. You must purchase PointGuard and you can only surrender a tag one time before needing to use your points on future draws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: Are there short-term options?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most hunts are mid-term (5-9 years) or long-term (10+ years) draw options. Late archery and rifle hunts offer slightly better odds for mid-term applicants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Arizona?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona is a top-tier state for elk hunting, offering exceptional value, high success rates, and abundant public land. It\u2019s an excellent choice for non-residents willing to invest time in building points. For those who enjoy hunting other species like deer, quail, or javelina, Arizona provides even more opportunities.\u00a0 Want more insight on why Arizona is worth it?\u00a0 Take a listen in on why Corey Jacobsen and I love hunting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hunttalk.com\/strategy\/2023\/12\/15\/transition-from-\u2026ason-episode-118\/\">Arizona<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t miss the February 4, 2025 deadline!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona\u2019s elk and pronghorn hunts are worth the effort, offering some of the best opportunities in the West.
