Draw system crash.... Again.

[codyhuntsaz]

Let me start by saying I've never had a problem at anytime with the online draw. Any aspect of it. It has always worked flawlessly for me. That being said I believe that if the deadline is 7 PM everyone should have a chance to apply up until 7 PM. If you are midway through your application and the clock strikes 7 PM you should be cut off and you're done. No questions no if ands or buts. You knew the deadline and you didn't get it in time. But to not have the opportunity to put in up until the deadline is unacceptable. I understand peoples frustrations with people putting in last minute and then complaining when the computer system crashes. But to be fair to those people they should have until 7 PM to apply for hunts. I don't know what the situation is as to why they're putting in last minute but that's not for me to decide. That's their prerogative if they want to wait. What it all boils down to is that the Arizona game and Fish Department needs to pull their head out of their asses and figure the system out. Other states can do it so why are they so incompetent? Is it a matter of not wanting to spend money on the draw system? Is it a matter of head honcho's thinking their shoot doesn't stink and they can figure it out on their own without bringing in outside help? Whatever the case may be it needs to get resolved sooner rather than later. My application was put in two weeks ago and everything went fine. But now I have to contend with people that may not have been going to put in for the hunts or may have missed the due date due to whatever reason now I'm also fighting them for precious tags. That's not right.
