az hunter ed bonus point

[svivian]

But you don't lose your points if you don't apply every year. Five consecutive I believe? So correct me if I'm wrong, but a guy could get two years for elk out of a license and apply for the deer point every other year, if he was good with building those deer points more slowly.

Correct the only thing you would miss out on is an extra "loyalty" point for applying 5 consecutive years

300 for an online class when states like mine allow you to take online hunter courses for free, or allow other states hunter safety certificates count. Its definitely about the money.

Im not aware of any other state that gives you a LIFETIME bonus point for taking an online course. I think $300 is a fair compromise considering prior you actually had to be in person, take the course, and pass to get the loyalty point. Which is what I had to do.... thank COVID.

Same ^^ As a non-res, I did the AZ hunter ed pre covid to get the pt, so that included time off, flight, hotel, rental car. >> $300. So, $300 isn't bad relative to the old alternative. It made sense when I was drawing frequently, but I'm now building points for one more hunt. The higher the point count to draw, which results in less draws over ones life, the hunter ed pt makes less economic sense to me. YMMV.
