benbhntr Report post Posted May 13, 2023 I received a call from a lady at azgfd yesterday afternoon telling me there was a draw issue and I should have received a tag but did not and that they will issue me a tag next week once it's signed off by the powers that be at game and fish. I am a nonres but have a lifetime license so wondering if somehow I got capped at the 10% when I shouldn't have been. I am extremely excited to be hunting az bulls in the rut with my bow this year. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

654321 Report post Posted May 13, 2023 Been discussion on MM, one guy there has some pretty good evidence that there was a screw up. I wonder how many NR with lifetime license this affected? Personally I believe it is time the department relooks at the residency requirements for obtaining a lifetime license. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been reading that thread over there. That guy should have received a tag. I believe there were 2 guys on that thread that were affected. Wonder if the OP is the guy over on MM. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benbhntr Report post Posted May 13, 2023 Haven't posted on that thread but will let yall know what happens next week and when tag shows up in portal account. I also thought that it could have been just a big point creep/jump this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted May 14, 2023 I’ve always been skeptical in the past when applying with mine but have drawn a tag or two over the years that were definitely from the resident pool so it’s worked in the past. Must have had a glitch in the system this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to the draw report there was 1 NR with 19pts that drew and 1 NR with 29 pts. 1 R drew with 14 so unless that R was a NR with a lifetime license the draw report doesnt show any NR with 14 points drawing.
