bonecollector Report post Posted July 16, 2010 I just thought I would give a shout out the the AZGFD office for getting the results out so soon when I think no one expectected them. Its so often the agency gets bashed for what they dont do. I think its time to give them props for getting the results out so soon imo. THANK YOU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues79 Report post Posted July 16, 2010 In complete agreement. Nice job AZGFD. I wonder if the "New" person that got hired in the draw dept. got everything lined up good? That job was open a couple months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZGFD_PIO Report post Posted July 16, 2010 Thank you very much. The draw is one complicated process that requires orchestration by many, many workgroups in the Department. Complicated even further by 3rd party tools for providing the results by phone and online. Each draw rears a unique snag to deal with. Congratulations to everyone that was successful. For those that missed the draw, had an error on their application, or just didn't get drawn - there is still hope. There are more than 5,500 leftover tags leftover, many of those are for deer in southern Arizona (aka Coues') so, set your calendar for the first-come, first-served date of Aug. 2 (by mail only), and starting Aug. 9 you can walk in to a local Game and Fish office, fill out an application and by your permit-tag - in person! Happy hunting all, and thanks to all the Coues' Whitetail.com members for all they do the conservation of Arizona's wildlife.

slopoke36 Report post Posted July 16, 2010 Do we use the regular application for the left over tags? Also, if we get a deer tag for rifle can I still go during the archery season (I understand that I can get only one deer per year). I just want to know if I can go during both season's until I get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doug Burt, information branch dburtatazgfddotgov Thanks for posting here, Doug. It's good to know that AZGFD has their finger on the pulse of the hunting community. Or at least cares enough to monitor and comment on our very own CWT.com forum. (Maybe you should hire me. But you'll want to pay me a salary. With all the time I'm on here, paying me hourly would get very expensive. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
