DesertBull Report post Posted October 27, 2006 http://www.azgfd.gov/artman/publish/article_643.shtml The application deadline for elk and antelope is Feb. 13. Hunt permit-tags and refund warrants will be mailed out by April 27. In a related matter, the commission reinstated the online application process during its Oct. 24 meeting in Phoenix, which means applicants for the winter draw will be able to apply online if they so choose. WHAT? “The commission will actually set the permit numbers for the elk and antelope hunting seasons during its meeting on Dec. 9 in Phoenix, but we wanted to have the application schedule set now so potential applicants can better plan ahead,” said Assistant Director Richard Rico, special services division. Any changes in store for this year like there were last year? Example: messing with the archery hunts, trying to install more Nov archery elk tags, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZP&Y Report post Posted October 27, 2006 uhhhh ... I think I'll stick with the paper process. After last year, I'll take some proof in them handling the online draw online for a year or so before I consider doing it online again. Haven't heard of any big changes like messing with the Archery Elk season. At least there will be much greater 'lead" time in preparing for a hunt with draw results out April...

coueshunter84 Report post Posted October 27, 2006 I would not hold my breath as to them changing anything. There are still meetings before then. And with the last survery there is no telling. I bet that survery told them all they needed to know to pillage all of the hunts they can to SELL MORE TAGS. All we can do is keep talking to them. Along the same lines. When I stopped by the Tucson office to get the family their licenses. I told the folks there behind the counter that I was not pleased about the wording of the survery. The lady told me very bluntly that I needed to talk to the folks in Phoenix. Seems they wanted nothing to do with anything I was complaining about. Had anyone else run into this. I figured that AZGFD, was AZGFD. and that I should be able to voice things like that. Apparently I was wrong, They punted everything to Phoenix, and all I was able to get up there was an answering machine. I called several times after that, and still got just the machine. I finally gave up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
