We won't guess. The Arizona report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.

Competition in the combined-pool pool for the Rifle Late Rifle Dec bull/buck only hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 0% in 2022 and 0.8% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
