tomharveyb Report post Posted February 12, 2021 At least it’s only two weeks...used to be a lot longer. I remember when most hunts were due in early June and you didn’t know till end of July. You had 5-6 weeks till archery elk started from time you knew you were going. Guys who were low in the pecking order at work couldn’t get time off. Kudos to g and f for moving it to Feb and getting draw done in a couple weeks. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted February 12, 2021 Hard to say if it will be only two weeks this year though. With the new system does anyone really know how long it will be? Maybe sooner. Maybe longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The deadline to update cards is the 25th so it can't be sooner 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1uofacat Report post Posted February 18, 2021 I just spoke to the G&F. My wife's app doesn't show up on her portal account so I called... The lady I spoke with said there were 215K apps received & they are entering them manually into portal accounts. They expect to be complete in a week, but wouldn't run the draw until they were. She could see her app btw. They still hope to run it next Friday, but it depends on them completing the portal updates & when that's done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaton Report post Posted February 18, 2021 My antelope app shows in my portal but not my elk app. But I have an email verifying that my elk app was successful. There system is messed up. The lady at azgfd put us in cause of errors on my father in laws information. She waited until I received an email that we were put in and verified hunt numbers before we hung up.

While we all applied (manually), our portal accounts are evidently not linked to the app process as we don't enter the app process through our portal accounts, but rather through the "draw" system. Don't worry though, it'll work seamlessly and nobody will be "deprived"... haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to call today and see why the portal was not updated. Last few years, the portal was updated quickly. Crazy they are updating by hand. Wonder if they will mail out pink post cards this year 🤣🤣 Might as well fully go back to the old school draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
