wish2hunt Report post Posted March 19, 2015 The azgfd needs to do one draw a year for all tags. That way they would only screw it up once a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murfys69law Report post Posted March 19, 2015 The azgfd needs to do one draw a year for all tags. That way they would only screw it up once a year. BITE YOUR TONGUE!!! Having the eairly draw for Elk and Anlelope was one of the best things AZGFD has done. I'm not sure how many people put in but it has to be in the tens of thousands. Sometimes they screw up. Thats a lot of apps to process. We all make mistakes. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wish2hunt Report post Posted March 19, 2015 All the other states seem to handle it just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murfys69law Report post Posted March 19, 2015 All the other states seem to handle it just fine. Apple and oranges..you can't compare other states to AZ...we are still 10 years behind every other place. It's the natures of the beast with AZ. BUT...if you do get a prime Elk tag here..chances are you will get a wall hanger. That's what makes it so fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbiewer Report post Posted March 19, 2015 The azgfd needs to do one draw a year for all tags. That way they would only screw it up once a year. they actually use to have it, way before my time. but it was before computers existed. then they split it up. spring and fall hunts. then they found that most hunters would put in for elk and deer in the fall. But then when the single fall hunt came out... most people would scrub out of the deer hunt for what ever reason ( timing, or limited trips or conflicting areas. (like for example, we are putting in for cow this year, which is mid October. My brother already said he cant do three trips (turkey, elk, deer) in one month. Or even the closer of the two (elk October 19? and deer October 31 ish?) So other people in a similar situation would scrap a deer hunt, thusly screwing it up for even more people that could've gone but couldn't due to wasted tags. ----- it is a good theory, one single draw, other states do it.... but in reality, each draw comes with complexities. Could you imagine if all those complexities would combine forces (which is what they would probably end up doing) in one solitary draw?!?!?! I will take the three draw system and continue to stress out three times a year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sure makes it a lot easier to plan and strategize for other hunts, and going into other draws knowing the outcome of the elk draw. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
