Cost of Arizona Mule Deer Preference Points

[SD Bowhunter]

How much does it cost to buy Mule Deer preference point for Arizona?

Any information would be great.

Thank You

Prices went up last year, a nonresident will pay $160 + $15 application fee to buy a preference point. If you are interested in hunting trophy units, like the strip, it is impossible to draw unless you are a top point holder (currently 17 I think?). Other "good" units will take 6-10 points to draw. Arizona is not a cheap state to build points. Wyoming, Colorado and Utah are much more attractive to build points for mule deer.

Arizona is not a cheap state to build points for one species, but if you are interested in multiple types of game it's a little better
