The most recent published odds are 9.1% for combined-pool applicants in 2025 — 481 applicants for 75 tags on the Rifle General Rifle Oct antlerless hunt.

How many preference/bonus points do I need for Arizona Elk Unit 23?

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 23?

Competition in the combined-pool pool for the Rifle General Rifle Oct antlerless hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 9.8% in 2024 and 9.1% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
