They just say they don’t accept apps before the 20th. And the reason you have to mail in Friday is because half the people in the state are trying to get leftovers so if you miss that window there most likely won’t be any tags left. So what does reading the regs have to do with trying to get your app in during the “window” of time that allows you to get a tag? Do the regs tell you how long the mail takes from certain cities in the state? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They only don’t accept before the 20th. And yes if you want a tag you’d better be one of the first to have your app in the mail not because game and fish has a “window” but because they’re first come first serve like the regs say. So yeah read the regs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So yeah read the regs. Your first post says “that window” so again, where in the regs does it state when you have to mail it in for the particular part of the state your in? Can you read it for me? I mean, since it’s in there and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomC Report post Posted July 20, 2020 Here is the way it works, somebody gets a bag of mail on monday. They take it back to the sort room and dump it on the floor. Then they grab some envelopes and start processing. They dont use a window, they use the floor. The draw is part luck. But, if you use your noggin for something more than a hat rack you can improve your chances of going Deer hunting.😷 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOBY Report post Posted July 20, 2020 Then they open up your father in laws app and give him the last tag and put your rejected tag in his envelope and mail it back to you with your name on the outside envelope. That's how close your window of opportunity is. But I get to help on an elk hunt....it's like hunting.... good luck on the floor drop to every one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwoody Report post Posted July 20, 2020 15 hours ago, JVS said: I think making the mail in window one day is a crock of crap. No one has a united States postal service crystal ball - especially anyone out of Maricopa county. I’ve asked a hundred times at the PO. They say 1-3 days. Good grief - that’s the difference between Getting a tag and 2 days late!.Why can’t AZGFD allow the application acceptance Window to be Monday-Thursday and the draw starts Friday? Just my 2 cents. Guys in rural areas share my frustration. First come first serve, don't bitch.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
