Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Arizona Elk Unit 22S?

The most recent published odds are 18.2% for combined-pool applicants in 2025 — 165 applicants for 50 tags on the Rifle General Rifle Oct antlerless hunt. Arizona publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.

How many preference/bonus points do I need for Arizona Elk Unit 22S?

We won't guess. The Arizona report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.

Is the competition increasing for Arizona Elk Unit 22S?

Competition in the combined-pool pool for the Rifle General Rifle Oct antlerless hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 15.3% in 2023 and 18.2% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
