I thought for out of state people it was 2 years. I will reread the regs someday.. there was also a stipulation in there for res that you still had to buy a hunting license to keep your name in the points(I think)

5 years it is --- and Ariz. G&F counts each specie activity separately (elk, desert sheep, antelope, buffalo, etc.). Doesn't matter whether you're a res. or non-res. You don't have to buy a license each year to keep your bonus points, but you do need to buy one when you apply if you want the additional bonus point when/(if?) you're unsuccessful in the draw ...
