How to Use Survey and Harvest Data
Both novice and experienced hunters will find this
book a valuable resource to help in making informed
decisions regarding hunt selections. The book is a com-pendium
of facts about hunting in Arizona, including
up-to-date information on:
• Which game management units have the most big-game
permits,
• The units with the narrowest male to female ratios,
• Units and hunts with the highest hunt success,
• Hunts that have the best drawing odds, and
• Historical survey and hunt information the reader
can use to compare trends for the major game
species in each management unit.
The information is relatively simple to use. Look-ing
through the section on deer, for example, you will
find a summary of the survey data for both mule deer
and white-tailed deer in each game management unit
having these species. This information will help you de-termine
whether a unit has a high proportion of bucks
and whether it is experiencing good fawn production.
Bear in mind, however, that due to differences in sur-vey
methods the male to female and female to young
ratios are only estimates.
By checking the unit hunt information summary,
you can determine the hunter success rate, how many
permits were available in the past, and the drawing
odds for previous hunts. Be aware that some units have
several authorized hunts, each limited to a specific kind
(or kinds) of weapon. Your selection of a hunt for which
to apply will depend on your own preference of hunt
area, weapon type, season dates, and the kind of animal
you wish to harvest.
Beating the Odds
Permits for big-game hunts in Arizona are issued
through a drawing system. Since the best predictor of
the future is the past, the best estimate of your draw
odds for an upcoming hunt is the draw rate for that
hunt in the previous draw. Draw odds for each hunt are
calculated by dividing successful first choice applicants
by the total first choice applicants. Even though some
permits may have been issued to second choice appli-cants,
this method accurately reflects the applicant’s
chances of receiving their first choice.
The odds of receiving a permit for a second choice
hunt instead of a first choice hunt are calculated by sub-tracting
the draw rate for the first choice hunt from the
draw rate for the second choice hunt. The odds for re-ceiving
your first or second choice would therefore be
the same as your highest odds choice. For example, if
your first choice selection had a 40 percent draw rate
last year, and your second choice selection had a 60 per-cent
draw rate, your odds this year are 40 percent for
getting your first choice, 20 percent for getting your
second choice, and 60 percent overall (assuming that
the results of this year’s draw will be similar to those of
the previous draw). It therefore makes little sense to ap-ply
for a second choice hunt with a lower draw rate than
your first choice hunt. Only those hunts that did not fill
with first or second choice applications are considered
for third, fourth, or fifth choices. Therefore, only hunts
with draw odds of 100 percent are good candidates for
these choices.
While draw rates are relatively favorable for most
deer, turkey and javelina hunts, they are much more
competitive for elk, antelope, buffalo, and bighorn
sheep. Beginning in 1991, the Arizona Game and Fish
Department began issuing bonus points to unsuccess-ful
applicants for these species. In 1999, unsuccessful
applicants for deer began to receive bonus points. In
2005, turkey, javelina, and spring bear began receiving
bonus points. Each point accumulated gives the appli-cant
an extra entry in the hunt drawing for that species.
For more information about the bonus point system,
please refer to R12-4-107 in the 2007-2008 Hunting
Regulations.
A summary of 2006 draw odds seems to indicate
little advantage to having many bonus points. Further
analysis, however, reveals that applicants with the larg-est
number of bonus points are applying for hunts with
the poorest draw odds, which obscures the benefits of
having multiple bonus points. For example, elk appli-cants
without any bonus points applied for hunts with
draw odds that averaged 17 percent, while those with
16 bonus points applied for hunts with draw odds aver-aging
only 1.0 percent. This tendency held true for their
Hunt Arizona 2007
How to Use Survey and Harvest Data
second choices as well.
Comparing applicants on the basis of their first
choice hunts reveals a truer picture of the advantag-es
of bonus points, particularly for those applying for
hunts with high draw odds. General antelope appli-cants
with 17 bonus points, for example, were drawn
for their first choice hunt at over 65 times the rate of
applicants with no bonus points (65.6 percent ver-sus
0.2 percent). General elk applicants with 16 bonus
points were drawn for their first choice hunt at over 64
times the rate of applicants with no bonus points (61.1
percent versus 8.0 percent).
Draw odds in the tables contained in this report are
computed without regard to numbers of bonus points
and therefore represent your odds if you have an av-erage
number of bonus points. In the 2007 draw, the
average applicant for elk tags will have about 2.5 bo-nus
points while those applying for antelope, bighorn
sheep, buffalo, and deer tags will have 4.7, 5.4, 3.6, and
1.7 respectivly.
Another point to consider when choosing hunts is
the number of people on your application. This can be
an important factor when applying for hunts with low
numbers of permits, since no permits will be issued
if there are not enough for everyone on the applica-tion.
Applying with three other people for a 10-permit
hunt, for example, cuts your odds by 30 percent. Ap-plying
with people who have fewer bonus points than
you have will also decrease your odds, since the num-ber
of bonus points assigned to an application is the
average accumulated by the group.
One last tip to keep in mind is that new hunts, or
hunts in which permits have been recently increased,
generally have slightly better draw odds than other
hunts. Conversely, hunts with reduced numbers of
permits generally have poorer odds.

Bonus Points By Species
Bonus points listed below include the permanent hunter education point and the new loyalty point.
For all species except antelope and elk, the tables
below are a summary of group bonus points resulting
from the 2006 Fall Draw (Section A) and individual
bonus points going into the 2007 Fall Draw (Section
B). For antelope and elk, the tables are a summary of
group bonus points resulting from the 2007 Fall Draw
(Section A) and individual bonus points going into the
2008 Fall Draw (Section B). Group bonus points are
the average number of bonus points per hunt applica-tion.
A hunt application can be submitted with 1 to
4 applicants. The bonus points, which may differ for
each individual on an application, are averaged to come
up with “group bonus points.” Individual bonus points
in Section B are the count of all hunters in each bonus
point level. Both group and individual bonus points
include the permanent hunter education point and the
loyalty point. All potential hunters may not be repre-sented
in Section A if an individual with bonus points
did not apply during the recent Fall Draw. Also, keep
in mind that applicants with the greatest number of
bonus points often apply for hunts with poorest draw
odds, which obscures the benefits of having multiple
bonus points. Refer to the narrative on the previous
pages about “Beating the Odds.”
In Section B, the number of individuals with a
single (1) bonus point has been corrected from previous
years. There were individuals with a permanent point
that were not counted in previous years. Remember,
all potential hunters may not apply in a given year.
Also, Section A does NOT reflect individuals who may
have purchased a bonus point for a given species.

Deer
Two species of deer occur in Arizona, the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus)
and the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).
Mule Deer
Natural History
Mule deer are the most abundant big-game animal in
Arizona, with the statewide population estimated at
120,000 post-hunt adults. They can be found in most ar-eas
of the state, from sparsely vegetated deserts upward
into high, forested mountains. Rocky Mountain mule
deer occur primarily in northern Arizona above the
Mogollon Rim in game management units 1 through
13, while the so-called desert mule deer is found in all
of the more southern
units (15 through 46).
The mule deer gets
its name from its large
ears. Its coat is red-dish-
brown in summer,
turning to a blue-gray
or a chocolate brown in
winter. The forehead is
much darker than the
face, while the animal’s
throat, belly, and inner
leg surfaces are white.
One of the mule deer’s
most distinguish-ing
characteristics is a
white rump patch and
a narrow, black-tipped
white tail.
The mule deer is
the larger of Arizo-na’s
deer species. Adult
bucks may weigh more
than 200 pounds and
stand up to 42 inch-es
tall at the shoulder.
Does average about 125
pounds.
Mule deer antlers
typically branch into
two main beams, each
of which may fork into
two or more tines. The size and number of points is de-pendent
on a combination of the buck’s age, nutrition,
and genetic background. The antlers develop under a
layer of soft skin, called velvet, which supplies them
with nutrients. When fully grown, the antlers harden
and the now dry velvet is rubbed off. The bony antlers
are retained until spring, after the breeding season has
passed. Buck deer are polygamous and use their antlers
to intimidate other males and drive them away from
the does during the winter breeding season.
After a gestation period of about 190 days, the does give
birth to one or two spotted fawns. Fawns in northern Arizo-

na are born in late
spring, while those
in southern Ari-zona
usually arrive
in midsummer. A
fawn’s spots dis-appear
in about
two months. The
young remain
with their mother
until the following
spring. Both sexes
attain maturity in
about one year and
have a life span of
about 10 years.
Research has shown that mule deer population lev-els
are largely determined by the number of fawns
that survive to be yearlings. Fawn survival, in turn, is
largely determined by climatic events, with wet, mild
winters contributing to high fawn survival rates. Dry
winters and springs usually result in poor fawn survival,
and heavy snows and freezing temperatures occasion-ally
reduce the population levels of both fawn and adult
Rocky Mountain mule deer. Another limiting factor for
mule deer is predation. In Arizona, the mountain lion
is the principal mule deer predator.
Mule deer are primarily browsers, although they
feed largely on forbs and new grass growth in the spring
and summer. Other major diet items are twigs, bark,
buds, leaves, and nuts. Important browse plants include
mountain mahogany, cliff rose, sagebrush, and oak in
northern Arizona, with jojoba, buck brush, and moun-tain
mahogany being favored in southern Arizona.
Most feeding is done at dawn and dusk, although hu-man
activity and a full moon may cause a shift to more
feeding at night.
Hunt History
As befits Arizona’s principal game animal, deer
received some protection as early as 1887 when a four-month
season of October 1 through January 31 was
established by the territorial legislature. Buck-only
hunting was instituted in 1893, and the season was
gradually reduced until 1913 when the new state legis-lature
authorized a two-month season and a two-buck
bag limit. Even this was deemed excessive by the state’s
sportsmen, and a public initiative in 1916 reduced the
limit to one buck deer to be taken during the month of
October.
Despite a serious overpopulation of deer on the
North Kaibab in the 1920s, deer numbers appeared to
decline in the rest of the state. In 1929, the mule deer
season was closed south of the Gila River, and even as
recently as 1946, fewer than 5,000 mule deer (more
than 80 percent of all deer killed) were harvested in
Arizona. Then, for reasons that are still unclear, deer pop-ulations
began to increase. As the populations rose, doe
and “any-deer” hunts were authorized. In 1961, an all-time
high of 91,120 deer hunters took 35,897 deer. More than
86 percent of these were mule deer and nearly 10,000 were
antlerless animals. Archery deer hunting was also now be-ginning
to provide a significant hunting opportunity.
A series of years of poor fawn survival followed. By 1970
fewer than 16,000 deer were taken, and hunt success had
fallen to 16 percent. With the institution of permit-only deer
hunting the following year, hunter numbers dropped from
more than 97,000 to fewer than 68,000. Only about 9,500
mule deer were reported harvested.
Deer permit numbers gradually increased after 1972,
leveling off at around 70,000 per year between 1976
and 1982, when hunters took more than 12,000 mule
deer, approximately 75 percent of the total deer harvest.
Then, a series of wet winters resulted in an increase in
fawn survival rates, and hunter numbers and the num-bers
of deer bagged increased accordingly until 1986,
when nearly 86,000 hunters took 25,566 deer, of which
77 percent were mule deer.
Since then, another series of droughts has occurred,
and deer hunting opportunity is again being curtailed.
In 1998, 44,524 hunters reported taking fewer than
10,500 deer. Of the total deer harvested that year only
60 percent were mule deer. Prospects in the near future
are even more discouraging, but mule deer are “boom
and bust” animals. With the advent of better than average
winter rains, mule deer populations will once again im-prove.
The only question is when.
White-tailed Deer
Natural History
Arizona’s other deer is a small subspecies of the white-tailed
deer. These Coues (pronounced Cows) deer are
most common in the state’s southeastern mountains,
but range northward to the edge of the Mogollon Rim,
up into the White Mountains, and as far west as Syca-more
Canyon in Unit 8. The statewide population is
estimated at 82,000 post-hunt adults. Coues whitetails
require areas of predictable summer precipitation and
are most common in oak woodlands and on chapar-ral
covered hillsides with oaks and pines. This species,
while more resilient than mule deer to hunt pressure, is
less tolerant of droughts and appears to be more affect-ed
by livestock grazing.
In contrast to the mule deer’s branching antlers, the
tines or points of a whitetail’s antlers originate from a
forward-curving main beam. Mature bucks generally
have three to four tines per side. The coat color is gray-ish-
brown salt-and-pepper with white underparts; the
face is marked with white halos around the eyes and a

white band across the muzzle. The most distinguishing
characteristic of the whitetail, however, is a long, fluffy
tail that is all white on the underside, gray to reddish-black
on top, and often lifted upward as an alarm signal.
The Coues deer is much smaller than most of its
eastern cousins. Bucks stand just over 30 inches at the
shoulder and rarely weigh more than 100 pounds. Does
average 65 pounds. The rutting season usually runs
from December through February, and the fawn drop
coincides with the new growth of forbs that results
from the summer rains.
A doe’s first pregnancy usually results in a single
fawn; thereafter she may bear twins. White-tailed deer
fawns may stay with their mothers for more than a year,
and seeing two generations running together is not
uncommon. Unlike mule deer,
white-tailed deer rarely form
herds, and most observations are
of fewer than six animals.
When seen at a distance,
white-tailed deer can often be
distinguished from mule deer by
their cautious, running gait and
flagging white tail. Whitetails
never use the stiff legged, bound-ing
gait sometimes employed by
mule deer. Habitat preferences
also differ. In Arizona’s southern
mountain ranges, whitetails are
generally found at higher eleva-tions
and in rougher country than
are mule deer.
Hunt History
The Coues white-tailed deer is perhaps Arizona’s fin-est
game animal. Wary, and expert at using cover,
whitetails rarely offer the hunter a standing shot once
jumped. Perhaps for this reason, the species has be-come
increasingly important in the harvest. Although
the statewide take has varied from 1,500 to more than
7,000 whitetails a year, depending on the vagaries of
drought and fawn survival, the recent trend has been
for this species to constitute an ever greater proportion
of the statewide harvest. For example, whitetails com-prised
less than 15 percent of Arizona’s deer harvest in
1961 but nearly 40 percent in 1998.

Natural History
Pronghorn antelope are na-tive
to the prairies of North
America. At one time they
numbered in the millions
and were found from the
Mississippi River to the Pa-cific
Ocean, and from central
Canada to Mexico. With the
European settlement of the
plains, the population was
reduced nearly to extinction.
In Arizona, antelope persist-ed
primarily in the northern
plains. They also inhabit high
elevation meadows between
forested areas, and scattered
herds are again found in the
grasslands of southeastern
Arizona. The endangered
Sonoran pronghorn is re-stricted
to the extreme
desert lands of southwestern
Arizona and northern So-nora,
Mexico. The statewide
population of pronghorn is
estimated at 7,800 post-hunt
adults.
The name pronghorn
comes from the sharply
pointed prong on the horn of
the buck antelope. The doe’s
horns, if present at all, are
smaller and more slender.
Antelope have true horns in
that the horny tissue is com-posed
of fused hairs, which
form over a bony core. Horn
length reaches maximum
size during the summer be-fore
the outer sheaths are
shed, usually sometime in
the fall.

Antelope have exceptional eyesight, which is often
compared to high-powered binoculars. These “prai-rie
goats” are also one of the fastest mammals, being
able to run in excess of 60 mph. Despite their speed,
antelope are reluctant to jump over objects, preferring
to crawl under or through fences rather than leap over
them.
A conspicuous characteristic of the antelope is the
white rump patch. When an animal is alarmed, its
rump hairs stand erect and appear as a white flash that
can be seen for miles. The dominant body color is an
apricot tan, with sharply contrasting white markings on
the belly, head, and neck. The top of the buck’s muz-zle
is brown or black, and below the ear he will usually
have a triangular black cheek patch, which is lacking
on the doe. A short mane is present along the top of the
neck. Shedding is
continuous, with
the individual hairs
being loosely at-tached
to the skin,
making the hide
nearly worthless.
Since the hairs are
hollow and can
be erected at will,
prong-horns are
able to adjust to
great extremes in
temperature.
Adult bucks
usually weigh
between 90 and 120 pounds The does are about 20
pounds lighter. Antelope are primarily browsers, feed-ing
mostly on weeds and short browse plants, with
grass being only a minor food source. Because of Ar-izona’s
mild winters, antelope tend to live longer than
the six- to eight-year average life span of their northern
cousins, one reason that a disproportionate number of
Arizona bucks are trophy animals with horns in excess
of 15 inches in length.
Antelope are gregarious and usually seen in mixed
herds, except in the spring when the bucks are alone
or in small bachelor groups. Later, in the summer and
early fall, these same bucks will collect harems of does,
which may number up to 15 animals, which they then
defend from other bucks. Antelope breed in August
and September, and the young are born in May and
June. A doe will typically produce one or two fawns.
The young are not spotted like the fawns of the deer
family, but instead have markings similar to those of
adults. The fawns remain hidden, with the doe feed-ing
them several times a day, until they are about two
to three weeks old and strong enough to travel with the
adults. During this time, pronghorn fawns, or “kids,”
are the most vulnerable to coyotes, which may take 75
percent or more of the year’s production. Adult antelope
are taken by mountain lions, as well as by coyotes.
Hunt History
Once second only to deer as a game animal, Arizona’s
antelope were first given a closed season in 1893. The
response must have been less than satisfactory, however,
as the season was completely closed in 1905. By 1922,
the state’s antelope population was estimated to be less
than 1,000 animals.
Then, for reasons that still are not fully understood,
pronghorn antelope began to make a comeback. Aid-ed
by a closed season, government predator control
programs, and the abandonment of numerous home-steads,
pronghorn numbers steadily increased until
fears were expressed that some northern Arizona popu-lations
were in danger of exceeding their food supply.
Accordingly, a limited hunt of 400 buck permits was
authorized for northern Arizona in 1941.
After a closed season from 1944 to 1948, ante-lope
hunting in Arizona recommenced in 1949. Hunts
were liberalized gradually, until 1954 when 1,600 per-mits
were issued and 1,146 bucks were taken. Despite
the issuance of a number of antlerless antelope per-mits
between 1961 and 1975, this level of harvest has
never again been equaled. Annual harvests since 1990
have varied between 500 and 700 bucks, with archers
taking a proportionally larger percent of the harvest
in recent years. Plagued by encroaching subdivisions,
increasing highway construction, and other land-use
changes, maintaining even the present number of an-telope
is dependent on citizen involvement and an
aggressive translocation program. Approximately 10
percent of the 1998 antelope harvest was in areas hav-ing
reintroduced herds.
