Coues79 Report post Posted April 3, 2012 I know WAY more folks that didn't draw than did draw. And i know WAY more folks that applied this year as well. I don't think anything is suspicious...... other than when the draw results will be posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max1hunter Report post Posted April 3, 2012 And the scary thing to more people applying is it is only going to get worse in the future! Oh well, just have to play the cards that have been dealt. Good luck to everyone drawn this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ_XL7 Report post Posted April 3, 2012 I'm the guy who pays by money order and drops his app off at 630pm on the day of the dead line. Been doing it like that for 10 years now and have drawn 2 deer tags, 4 turkey tags, and a bull tag. No need to switch it up now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AverageJoe Report post Posted April 3, 2012 More people applying is a good thing. Means more people are interested in hunting. We cant be selfish when it comes to hunting. I wish everyone would apply for the draw. I wish it was like back east in some places where it is just expected that everyone will be in the woods opening day. Sucks to not draw a tag but dont be upset that there are too many people putting in. It would be a lot worse if it were the other way around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also most kids that i know that hunt and have grown up hunting turn out to learn good family values at an early age!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wbyfireman Report post Posted April 3, 2012 I just found out i was billed 146.90$ on March 31st,,,,,,,, and151.23$ on April 2nd (about the cost of a non-res hunting license) but already had a resident hunting license purchased prior to submitting all of my info. What could this be? ??? does AZGFD screw up sometimes when it comes to billing??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats just weird The wife ran the credit card by accident at nordstroms, her hair salon, and dinner for her and her friends,,,,,,, what a tease!! Another year with no tag, not to be negative, but i put in for the october rifle hunt which i was told by several guides i was basically guaranteed for with 10points, and NOTHING. Meanwhile my buddy with 1or 2 points gets drawn for the same hunt 3 out of 5 years. How is this possible??!! To say bonus points mean anything is a joke!!! I am slowly loosing confidence in this system the AZGFD has set up. anyone else feel the same way?? Now im done venting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you're applying for Limited Op. hunt or a cow tag, there are no October rifle elk hunts that are guaranteed with 10 points. The closest you can come for a guaranteed early rifle bull tag is 14 points in 6B. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunDevil Report post Posted April 3, 2012 10 pts should get you the late Oct bull hunt in 6A. I think it is the last weekend of Oct and is only a 4 day hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willyhunts2 Report post Posted April 3, 2012 It's all luck of the draw. Regardless of your points there are still the people that will draw same hunt you put in for 3 years in a row while you sit back and rack up points. Just the way it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
