Even though it sucks that they require you to buy a hunting license when all you want to do is buy a point, it does "weed" out everyone from doing it. Unfortunately it is getting more and more pricey to hunt every year but if you prioritize it like I do you can afford it. Some people spend $2000+ for a 5-7 day trip on a beach or cruise ship. I prefer to spend that much on multiple hunts out west each year because it is my passion. When I actually do draw an AZ elk or NV elk I expect it to be a limited quota limited pressure type of hunt because I have paid the money and waited in line for multiple years to have the opportunity at such a hunt. If they allowed everyone to just buy a point for $7.50 there is NO way these states would provide the quality of hunts that are available right now. Everyone would be racking up points and quality hunts that usually take 4-7 years to draw would end up being 14-15 years....I'm good with how it is now
