Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Arizona Bison Unit 12A/12B/13A?
The most recent published odds are 1.1% for combined-pool applicants in 2025 — 816 applicants for 20 tags on the Rifle Early Rifle bull/buck only hunt. Arizona publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.
How many preference/bonus points do I need for Arizona Bison Unit 12A/12B/13A?
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.
Is the competition increasing for Arizona Bison Unit 12A/12B/13A?
Competition in the combined-pool pool for the Rifle Early Rifle bull/buck only hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 2.3% in 2023 and 1.1% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
