Arizona Elk Outfitters

[Lmartin5]

I am currently building points in Arizona for a Bull Elk hunt with a rifle.

After purchasing an additional point in February 2026, I will have (3) points.

Based on my research, I believe I will need (6) points in order to have a realistic chance at drawing a non-resident rifle tag (looking at unit 5A and unit 23).

Does anyone have experience with either of these areas, or experience with any Outfitters in these areas?

Feel free to message me if you do not feel comfortable sharing.

Thanks in advance!

lol, your math may be a bit off. 3 points will not get you a rifle tag unless you draw in the random. You don’t have enough for a late archery with 3 except in the random.

Thank you for this...I really appreciate it!

Looks like I need to do more research.

Years ago I started building points for a mid/low-tier archery hunt I really wanted to do. It could be drawn with 6 points. I now have 15 points and last year it took 20 points to draw. I was in my 20s when I bought that first point. I’m now in my 40s and I’ve gained on it by 1 point. Obviously I’m bailing on those dreams. Keep in mind that what a hunt takes to draw changes over time, and rarely gets better.
