Tom,
Don Martin in Kingman puts on a weekend hunter ed class for NR. He will have a class in April, which would allow you to be in this years deer draw with max points. Deer apps will be due the second Tuesday in June. His contact info is on his AWO outfitter website

This is info posted on another forum by Don Martin who puts on the NR weekend hunter ed class in Kingman:

"You have to get in the max bonus point pool for deer if you even want a chance at drawing a north-of-the-ditch premium tags....(early tags in 12A and 12B can be drawn with less than max points)

11 points won't get it and you're right, it will still be tough but at least you're in the draw (20% pass) where you have a shot at 10% of the tags offered.

Right now there are about 600 NR with 11 deer bonus points. I think about 500 of them only need Hunter Ed to get into the max pool.

Anyone who is in that pool and doesn't tag Hunter Ed is NUTS and are just wasting money applying for a tag they CAN'T draw!

There are currently about 60 residents and 186 NR who have max deer bonus points. About 30-35 NR draw out each year from the max pool.

Take Hunter Ed in your home state and bring your son and come over in April and take my class. You won't regret it.

Good luck,

Don Martin"
