Each price was read from an outfitter's own website and stored with the sentence it was quoted in. Whole-hunt prices only — day rates and multi-gun party packages are excluded, because they answer a different question. Species with fewer than 4 outfitters publishing a price are left out rather than shown on a sample too small to mean anything (Antelope, Bighorn Sheep, Hog, Mule Deer, Predator, Whitetail Deer in Arizona).
Arizona nonresident tag costs
| Species | Nonresident tag |
|---|---|
| Whitetail Deer | $315 |
| Mule Deer | $315 |
| Elk | $665 |
| Antelope | $565 |
| Bear | $165 |
| Turkey | $105 |
| Hog | $115 |
| Predator | $75 |
