Little Creek Calls Report post Posted March 26, 2015 The state chapter president Steve Sams will be at the game and fish expo and I am sure he will have tickets for sale. I will be there as well at the NWTF booth on Saturday so if you find me I will get you in touch with someone with tickets. The winner is normally drawn at the Sierra Vista NWTF Banquet witch is Saturday August 1st, you do not need to present to win but I think they call the winner when they are drawn from the Banquet.

Yep, I forgot about the NWTF booth at the Expo. I'm tied up or I'd be there at the NWTF booth, too. I don't know how many decks are left. I know the Tucson chapter sold two decks crazy quick. We have plenty of cards left in the deck for our Northern Arizona (Flagstaff) Chapter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basser15 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Quick question. If you have the Gov tag are you eligible to draw a tag and harvest a second bird during the same calendar year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mbiewer Report post Posted May 6, 2015 pretty sure it works similar to the AZ G&F super game raffle. the lucky recipient of the super game raffle for that individual species can still draw for the same animal. IE: a super game raffle (or in this case, governor's tag)can have their draw tag and the "365 tag" from the super raffle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IA Born Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Yes pretty sure it works similar to the AZ G&F super game raffle. the lucky recipient of the super game raffle for that individual species can still draw for the same animal. IE: a super game raffle (or in this case, governor's tag)can have their draw tag and the "365 tag" from the super raffle. Confirmed. This won't affect your bonus points or lottery draw. You can have both tags and fill both tags (assuming you're that lucky)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IA Born Report post Posted July 14, 2015 I just wanted to thank you all that bought cards from me. I just mailed all of the money and cards from our chapter up here in Flagstaff down to the AZ State Chapter folks. Good luck to all of you that bought cards and I truly hope one of you wins...2nd place because I want me or my daughter to get the tag! Seriously though, thank you!
