If the OP doesn't like the influx of new NR hunters in AZ, maybe he should move to AZ and get in the 90% pool, or perhaps fly out sometime and take a hunter safety course to get a permanent point on top of his loyalty point.... Want to know how I know about these things? Bigfin and Jay Scott have wonderful podcasts that do a great job of explaining it.

What's your deer plan in AZ? Mule deer on the rim or chasing oct or november whitetails every year? If the plan is to hunt whitetails every year, you'll still be able to do it if you have your 2 perma-points. Don't be concerned about the new guys, they're contributing $160 every year to help the game species of the state of AZ. Imagine how much money the state is making from matching federal funds.
