Arizona Elk — Unit 27

Arizona Elk Unit 27 draw odds, tags, and applicants by year — resident and nonresident pools shown separately. Arizona's report publishes no point thresholds.

No point thresholds in this report. The Arizona release these tables come from lists applicants and tags only. Every "Pts Req." cell below reads as not published, not as zero points needed — and each table covers one residency pool, so read the heading before you read the number.

The most recent published odds are 9% for combined-pool applicants in 2025 — 1,081 applicants for 250 tags on the Rifle Late Rifle Dec 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 Elk Unit 27?
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 27?
Competition in the combined-pool pool for the Rifle Late Rifle Dec bull/buck only hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 6.8% in 2023 and 9% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
