Arizona 2nd choice

[Jwhigg18]

I want to make sure I’m doing it right because it feels strange… I have 7 points for elk and “should” draw the tag I want. Even though I’m confident should I put it as my 2nd choice? So 1st choice be a more difficult tag to draw? I’ve been planning on putting the tag I plan to draw as my first choice but started to second guess it. I understand there’s a bonus point pass first and random pass second…. I may have just answered my question but would love some feedback.

If you have the points for your second choice, you'll pull in the first pass and won't be considered for the random on 1st choice. Basically, it doesn't matter if you put it first or second if you have the points for it.

I would, but it comes down to your random number, and how confident you are. You might get lucky, pull a good number, and get a better hunt on the 1st choice.

I’ve drawn 4 crazy low odds permits in AZ, all were 2nd choice. Shoot for the moon on your 1st choice.

If point creep ends up putting you below 100% odds for the tag you “should” be able to draw, then you will want to have that crazy moonshot choice in your first choice slot for the second pass.

Basically, it doesn’t hurt you at all to put a dream tag in choice 1 and the tag you “should” draw in choice 2. If you are one of the people with enough preference points to draw that choice 2 tag, you will still draw it in the first pass.
