AZ app question

[Scoot]

My 2023 AZ hunting license says it's valid until 2/13/24. The deadline for elk is 2/6/24. Given that, I don't need to do anything with a license and can just apply for the draw, correct? Then, if I draw (I won't), I can purchase a license. Is that right?

I've never done the "skip a year" approach in AZ and I'm realizing how much money I'm throwing away. But, I sure don't want to screw it up either- it would cost me 2 points (that year's point and the loyalty point)!

You are correct, your license is still valid on the deadline date. If you want to apply for sheep and deer you have to purchase a new license

OK, thanks Eastcoast- much appreciated. I was almost positive that was right, but just wanted confirmation. Thanks!

Chicken. Just give me your points. (I need some help)

Kidding aside. Same status as you. And I got by cheap this year.

That's correct, if you do sheep/deer as well you can get away with buying licenses every 2/3 years and it works fine, I've been doing it for 10 years. If you're just doing elk you'll be able to just do every other year.

Haha- I am a chicken! I'd hate to get this far and botch something. I've been stacking points there for a long time now and still can't draw my tag! ...and I'm not even going for top end.

I hear you. Messing up a year would be extra painful as we would lose loyalty point also.

You can't screw up until they rewrite the application code.

deadline in 2024 is 2/6, 2023 was 2/14

Yeah, thats why I deleted my post.
