2022 Elk Population Management Hunt 1/2A

Anyone else get lucky? I drew general, 3rd pass (first pass for rifle), antlerless. Freezer hunt seems fine to me. Lady on the AZGFD phone told me only 25 tickets are being handed out. Maybe I should have picked up a Powerball ticket last week....?

You drew a 3rd choice hunt for a cow and that's lucky?

It's a Population Management hunt, not the regular draw hunts.

Guess I didn't know there were different passes in those? I thought it was just pull your name and you get to go.

Five hunts in total, each lasts a week long, with five hunters per week. First two weeks were archery bull, third week was a mix of any elk any weapon or antlerless any weapon, fourth and fifth week are to be antlerless any weapon. I was successful and will have 200 lb or so of elk meat in the freezer.
