This has been my biggest bitch with G$F lately. I haven’t had a lion tag in 2 years because they can’t keep their vendors in stock on the tag booklets! Every time I go in they say they’re waiting on the books. Maybe just coincidence but bs I’m not running all the way in to buy one at the office so I guess when I see a lion I’ll have to pass!😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly thought for the guys that sign up that all you had to do was check the box on the app when you get into range. Apparently you have to still create your own tag in the field probably with no signal so not sure how you get the validation code in that case? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted January 14 The biggest and only benefit I see currently is the harvest data is mandated with the e-tag. The rest of it is about the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZHOUND Report post Posted January 14 It has been super convenient for draw tags. Not worth the hassle to go to an office for the over the counter tags. If kiosks or online purchase off over the counter tags become available will be nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is if/when OTC tags are available online they’ll only be e-tags… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted January 16 Can I safely guess this is just a way for azgfd to save on stickers and postage? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigbuckin Report post Posted January 16 Personally speaking, I don't think it's a huge deal to use the e-tag. As mentioned in another thread, once we're able to buy all otc tags online and have them show up on your app, that will be great! Anytime I can avoid conversation with a walmart employee, that's a win. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know that to be the case, but I would imagine it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted January 16 Posting, printing, handling, etc. can be a BIG cost at scale, so yes, for sure there would be savings there. My guess though, is that it is because of that, and simply AZGFD modernizing with the times. The whole world is going 'electronic', so there's that.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZGFD is stuck in 1999. Anything involving a computer they haven't gotten it right. I just helped a buddy put his tag on a nice coues yesterday. The printed ink on the tag was coming off on our hands... totally illegible. Yeah, they are saving money on ink now too... Ed F 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
