Monte Carlo over the common pool, scaled to the nonresident cap. A dash means Arizona Game & Fish Department did not publish a count for that level. How we compute these.

At the 2026 odds, expected cost per hunt-year ranges from $1,880.14 (enough points to draw) to $31,180.54 (lowest published odds).

Nonresident hunt permit-tag application fee (per applicant, per species) · paid at application $15 source
Nonresident Combination Hunt and Fish license (only NR license valid for the draw; valid 1 year from purchase) · paid at application $160 source
Bonus point only (application fee; no tag fee) · only for a point bought without applying — an unsuccessful applicant gets the point free $15 source
Nonresident deer hunt permit-tag ($315 incl. $15 application fee) · paid if drawn $300 source

Optional, not counted above: PointGuard (optional tag-surrender insurance, per species per applicant) $10 and PointGuard Plus (optional; all eligible species for three consecutive draw cycles) $25.

Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $15 and keeps you moving toward the 3-point cut.

Next application window: closes Jun 2, 2027 (expected). Last cycle's schedule rolled forward — confirm when the agency publishes.

Point creep & years to draw

Insufficient history (1 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years.

Earlier years, when this number was a different hunt

Arizona reassigns hunt numbers between years. In these years 1030 stood for another unit or weapon, so they are listed here rather than counted as this hunt's history or in its point-creep trend.

How to read these numbers

Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance an applicant with that many points would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas, applicant numbers, and point creep change every year. Every figure links to the agency document it came from. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Hunts with fewer than five tags show counts instead of percentages. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.

Not an application service

This page is informational only. Draw rules, quotas, fees, and deadlines are set by the state agency and change by commission action — confirm everything on the agency's own site before you apply, and apply through the agency, not here. We disclaim all liability for reliance on this page.
