The most recent published odds are 0.3% for combined-pool applicants in 2025 — 11,739 applicants for 35 tags on the Rifle Early Rifle bull/buck only hunt.

How many preference/bonus points do I need for Arizona Elk Unit 01/02B/02C?

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 Elk Unit 01/02B/02C?

Competition in the combined-pool pool for the Rifle Early Rifle bull/buck only hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 0.3% in 2023 and 0.3% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
