What are the current draw odds for Arizona Turkey Unit 05A?

The most recent published odds are 55.5% for combined-pool applicants in 2025 — 128 applicants for 175 tags on the Shotgun Spring bearded turkey 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 Turkey Unit 05A?

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 Turkey Unit 05A?

Competition in the combined-pool pool for the Shotgun Spring bearded turkey hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 30.7% in 2023 and 55.5% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
