2023 Elk Hunt Application Picks
Draw Deadline: Tuesday, February 14th, 2023
Listed below are our preferred client hunt choices for the 2023 Elk seasons. Any combinations of hunt numbers may be chosen. Use your points wisely but don't waste your life waiting. Hunts are listed relative to trophy quality and quality of hunting experience. There are big elk in every unit in the state. Our recommendation for most applicants are the mid-tier and upper-mid hunt options. Don't get caught up in chasing points, odds, or inches. Pick hunts that fit your goals and play the draw, it is about the experience not the antlers. The application period is currently open via the www.azgfd.com website.
Always list the lowest draw odds hunt as “1st Choice” and the highest draw odds hunt as “2nd Choice.” If you do not wish to apply for hunts this year, make sure to select the “Purchase Bonus Point Only” option.
Bonus points listed represent the required amount to guarantee drawing the tag in the max point pool, during the previous year's draw (2022).
​
"Opportunity" hunts have low trophy potential but high draw odds, these are any-bull type hunts or cow hunts.
“Mid-Tier” hunts are considered to have representative age/size animals 280-330" Class bulls.
"Upper-Mid" hunts usually produce marginally larger bulls than the mid-tier units +10-15".
“Trophy” hunts offer better chances of taking a 340"+ Bulls.
