So you broke your leg, were still able to go and hunt and arrow a bull, but the recovery was the problem? No one could help you recover it? How tf were you capable of shooting one with a broken leg but not recovering it? I think the problem with opening up tag returns for generalized reasons would open up a can of worms. What qualifies? For how long? How long before the hunt does it have to have happened? Etc. Countless variations of things that can happen to people. And just about every one of them could get a doctor note from somewhere saying they weren't capable of hunting, the same way everyone was getting doctors notes for crossbows. So to make it simple the answer was no to everyone. Point guard is a good mixture of one get out of jail free card. You have your no questions asked bail out but you only get one.

To be fair, there are a lot of reasons they couldnt update it as soon as the card hits. No state does that. They have to do several checks to make sure things processed right and then have to reissue tags from declined cards etc. While I'm not impressed with their system as a whole, I am impressed by the speed they release results after the card charges. Probably one of the fastest turn arounds of any state.

Then say.....that

Interesting. Wonder if they're working overtime on a Saturday or if that was just a delay with your card.
-
Was going to lol at this but I see you already figured out how they function.
-
Well it does mean all that much because it keeps you in the resident pool. If you understand how the draw works you would understand that depending on how many points you have and what hunts you apply for it could take you 25+ years to draw certain elk tags.

Does he have a lifetime license?
-
I know a few from today that def weren't bonus pass tags.
-
A friend just got a lope charge.
-
I said go bad, but that was a bad choice of words. I meant more about what happens to the guys who's cards get shut off for fraud etc. Thats usually why azgfd has to charge so quickly after the deadline to make sure people cards dont get shut off or cancelled and people miss out on the tags.
-
Id generally agree with you but ive talked to some outfitters that said every year their phones blow up first day of charges and they're not getting any calls. Then the people that are several points above max for certain hunts not getting hits, it's hard to believe all of that would change in just one year but maybe.
-
I've heard similar things. Then comes the issue of what about the poor people who's cards go bad between now and then?
-
Jk, that happens all the time with charges.
-
I heard they screwed up and reversed a bunch of charges.
-
Edit: I misread what you wrote. When onx says 100% it is talking about the bonus pass.

Saw some on Facebook

I have no idea the cost for them to hire a company like Kalkomey but I would imagine most people would be fine with an increase in tag and app fees to pay for it. Just up until a few years ago azgfd was still using the same computer program from the 90s. I can put in for utah, nevada, and new mexico combined, for as many species as I can, in as long as it takes me to put in for elk and antelope in Arizona. Wild stuff.
-
Maybe if there was another failure, azgfd will get with the program and switch to a real draw system like other states.
-
Depending on what hunt it is and how many tags there are some hunts that dont have bonus pass tags for non residents and the one tag is given in the random.
-
You got a random (1-2 pass) tag
-
There is such a thing as "in" its called the bonus pass. I hear this every year and every time I have people check it turns out they had less points than they thought or they put in for other hunts.
-
Just from past draws it doesn't work that way with them charging cards as each pass happens. Things are usually simultaneous. The fact that people expecting bonus pass tags and others should be getting some random tags but haven't, points towards something going on but we have no idea what it is and we hope they charge some more cards by the end of the day.

Anything exciting in this one? -
Do you wake up every day and choose to be a douche bag or does it come naturally?
