singleshot Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Many have noted the verbiage on the draw page to this effect: Hunters applying online for the Spring 2015 Elk and Antelope seasons may encounter an issue when attempting to input their hunting license information, but there’s no need to worry. If you purchased a new license since the 2015 elk/antelope draw opened, your application form may auto-populate with your old license number, but it will be okay. Your new or renewed license number will be attached to your records and to your application, and your application will be accepted." My question was merely if anyone had a cc hit and also experienced this error condition for one or more of their parties in the group during the actual draw transaction. The above quote was also replied to in another topic but attempting to bring this out individually. Isn't it odd that that two weeks ago the above online statement also included " A valid license must have been purchased before the deadline date of the application period" This statement has now been removed and added towards the bottom of the same page as if it always existed. I guess it's the departments web page and they can amend it as they choose, but I have lost all faith in this years draw. I started filling out online apps 3 weeks before the deadline and it took 4 evenings to get 14 apps to go through. One would fly through without hiccup and the next would error out stating "invalid hunter I.D. number". These apps were for members of my family, all of who have been applying for hunts for numerous years. After several attempts of entering the same app the website would hose up. The next night same problem, couple apps. would go through and then errors. My son in law and grandson's apps had the "last years license" issue. When I tried to purchase new licenses I would get a pop up window stating "valid license already on file" . Finally was able to purchase 2015 licenses after the app deadline, so I think they will be rejected per the above statement. This isn't my first go round with online apps. We apply for everything and I am very computer competent with a high speed connected MAC. I have never been a AZGFD basher, but I think this draw was a complete fiasco to which the general public will never be made aware. I feel like I bought 14 raffle tickets for a prize that never existed. Well 13, we did get charged for 1 bull tag.

lancetkenyon Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Ahhh...the joys of applying old school style with paper applications and money orders. Only downside is having to wait a little longer to find out if I got drawn, and then a refund check if unsuccessful. (kind of like my private savings account my wife always forgets about) I think waiting to see if the applications were rejected or just unsuccessful would be in order myself. I have heard of a bunch of people getting calls from AZGFD with issues on payments and license # issues. So if you did not get a CC hit, I think they just might be unsuccessful in the draw....I hope. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted March 25, 2015 It will be interesting to see how many or if any applicants get "REJECTED" for invalid licenses. I would think if the applicant had a valid license they will be able to dispute the rejection and possibly get a tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues79 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 I have two words of advice- Cashiers Check With the problems with this draw, I wouldn't be so confident with any manner of applying. Check, money order or CC. The problem lies beyond the money issue. The draw and computer systems themselves are screwed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
