Listen Later

In this episode Matt Hartsky walks you through exactly how the 2026 Arizona Big Game Draw works for non-residents who are applying for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn. Whether you’ve been waiting years to draw a tag or you’re new to the draw game, Matt simplifies the process so you know what to expect before you hit “submit.”

He explains how Arizona’s point system works, the timing of applications, how to allocate preference points, and how to optimize your odds when competing with thousands of other hunters. Matt breaks down key mistakes to avoid — from misreading deadlines to misunderstanding point-value trade-offs — and shows how small decisions now can make or break your draw success.

If you want to hunt big game in Arizona and you don’t live in the state, this is the episode you need. It’s a clear, honest, step-by-step guide to navigating one of the toughest draws in the West — no fluff, no guesswork, just straight information and practical advice.
