The bad news is your too late to apply this year, the deadline was in Feb. The good news is you have a whole year to do some research. Subscribe to Eastman's and start reading their MRS every month, it is full of info.

Alight Rsess did you ask the question for every state? I've seen the same thing in three others. JK

Rssess your best chance to hunt Arizona is with a bow. You have to buy a license to build preference points. You can gain a permanent preference point if you take Arizona's hunters safety course. You can do it online, but have to go to Arizona for the field day. It will take typically 7 to 15 points to draw the better archery elk areas in Arizona.
