AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted June 20, 2023 I'm calling shenanigans. My group has 7 people that put in for a historically 98% draw hunt. In 10 years we have been 100% successful with as many as 12 tags in camp. NOBODY has ever missed a tag on this hunt. So far ZERO of us have a card hit. Possible? yes. Statistically improbable though. I don't think it is over. Either that or ALL of us have the same bank and is just really slow to report (never been so before) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MogollonMan Report post Posted June 20, 2023 If you didn't get the tags you THOUGHT were a lock, it is because you didn't take into account the new pass that now preceeds the bonus point pass. I don't think the official name was announced, but it has been dubbed by some of us as the "The Social Influnecer" pass. In this pass, much like with bonus points, tags are alloted to individuals accourding to your number of social media followers. AZGFD's new program since they aren't paying these guys anymore. We will be seeing a lot more of Newberg and the Hushin crew this year. You all need to be taking a lot more selfies with Mountain Ops, Mountain House meals, and tucking your ears into your hats. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted June 20, 2023 I think it’s over. New era of point creep both resident and NR. It creates a snowball. Leftover tags drying up lead to guys changing their app plans which lead to 100% odds tags become not so in a hurry. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eli Report post Posted June 20, 2023 I’ve still not seen any sheep hits anywhere, which is odd to me so I’m not convinced. We got hit at 4pm in the elk draw so who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
verdehunter Report post Posted June 20, 2023 Every application period there are record applications submitted. The 100% odds cannot be sustained by that. Units that you could draw every year or two will become every 3-5 years. Look at the influx of people in the forest just in general throughout the year when covid started. It trickles down to hunting. How many new gun owners were there after covid started? AZ is becoming increasingly more populated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leftover tags drying up lead to guys changing their app plans which lead to 100% odds tags become not so in a hurry. I could believe that over time but when the majority of those hunts were 95% odds last year it seems highly unlikely all these folks wouldn’t be drawn. I know close to 20 people who haven’t been hit for October or early November coues tags with 2 points. Also know a non resident with 9 points who hasn’t been hit for an easier to draw December tag 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bucks N Bulls Report post Posted June 20, 2023 Also when there has been a couple hundred leftover muzzy tags. And not 1 single app out of 5 of us didn't hit that. I don't think so 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted June 20, 2023 our whole camp has 7 people on solo apps (most with 2 BP) all for 1st or 2nd pick on a southern hunt that had 100% draw as long as i’ve been hunting down there. No one from camp got cards hit yet. that’s statistically impossible if the draw is done. the draw hasn’t been fully run yet. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
