metau Report post Posted July 27, 2016 If they have 40,000 apps to go through, I'm sure it's just a big pile and they just grab one, enter info and see if a hunt is still available. They only issued 367 tags yesterday. Likely just 3 folks sitting around a big pile of letters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
codyhuntsaz Report post Posted July 27, 2016 I guess it doesn't pay to be on the ball and have your application in on the first day. Unless of course they're still working through Monday's pile of applications? Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

codyhuntsaz Report post Posted July 27, 2016 I can't imagine they got anywhere near 40,000 applications. If that's the case then they should just say applications are due on Monday once the tags have been allocated from those applications first come tags will be available the following Monday. I have to believe that 90% of the leftover tags that are going to go would be gone in that one day. If they received anywhere near that amount of applications.

dsotm Report post Posted July 27, 2016 I just checked my portal, shows pending for the first choice on my leftover application. Does it show up under "My Applications/Tags" or another area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metau Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Yes. I have a deer, not drawn, for what I put in for during the regular draw and then right below it is another deer, pending, with the hunt number that was on my leftover app. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lazy-H98 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Correct. In the portal, click on "My Applications/Tags". There it will show your pending tag if you have been issued a leftover tag with hunt number. If you click to the right of that on "More Detail" is will display your tag number. I dropped mine off at the post office mailbox inside at 5:30pm, standard mail on Thursday night at the post office on Dobson north of Chandler Blvd. Been doing that for years.

Coues79 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Itd be nice if theyd update their system and do it like New Mexico does it. Then everyone would have a level playing field no matter where you lived...... Unless your internet went out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

couesmagnet Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Never done a leftover before, and thinking about given it a whirl. Do all the leftovers normally get issued in the draw everyone on this post is waiting for, or are there leftovers left after , that you can just go down a purchase.
