No tag for me this year (or cow elk) . I guess I'll either go and hunt Northern MN with my brothers or stay in AZ and see if I can hit any quail with my 12 ga. and also do some predator calling.
These things are still fun (but hard to fill the freezer this way), but things could be worse, right?

Arizona Hunter: last year AZ G&F had unfilled tags that were offered first come first given. Watch for an announcement soon. I got one last year and it was a great hunt.
This year I got a Unit 29, 1st choice. Coues, of course. 29 is one of toughest units I have ever hunted and I love it. I am still on my quest for a 125+ class Coues buck.
Landholder tags are available in New Mexico and while they cost more, depending on the rancher, they may be less expensive than other options.
Out of state and over the counter tags are available, the last time I checked, in Idaho.
Onward and good luck.

"unit 16A tag"....what does this mean? Is it the only area you are allowed to hunt, or is it the animal?
Cheers, Vince

Vince: many states are subdivided into game units to allow more precise management of big game. When one applies for a tag for elk, deer, antelope, big horn, etal, it is always for a specific game unit. Those units define the number of tags allocated based on sustained game populations, periodic game surveys and hunter success ratios.
Some states have general big game tags for elk or deer which allows the holder to hunt statewide in general hunt units. These are sold over the counter, first come, first served, until the limited supply is gone. If one has a general tag and wishes to hunt to limited or trophy area, then the tag is entered for that unit's draw. If unsuccessful in the draw, the tag remains valid for the general hunt units.
