andrewmilich Report post Posted March 9, 2021 Just got the following notice for G&F. Seems like it’s time to hire or find another system. PHOENIX — The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) is asking hunters for a bit more patience as staff continues to process a record number of draw applications for 2021 elk and pronghorn hunt permit-tags, as well as validate bonus points. In recent years, AZGFD would have been expected to make draw results available by this time. This year, hunters submitted more than 170,000 draw applications, shattering last year’s record of more than 153,000. Another record: More than 214,000 applicants either applied for hunts or bonus points, compared to 194,000-plus in 2020. As a result of the increased workload, hunters should know that AZGFD remains committed to ensuring the accuracy of draw results and providing quality customer service. The department will announce on its website and social media channels when draw results become available. All hunt permit-tags will be mailed by April 2. In the meantime, some customers may not be able to view personal data (such as bonus points, submitted applications, bonus points, license purchases) in their AZGFD portal account at this time. AZGFD expects to resolve this inconvenience once the draw process has been completed and hunt permit-tags are issued. As a reminder, a customer’s receipt is verification that their application was received by the department. AZGFD is aware that hunters are anxious to find out if an elk or pronghorn hunt permit-tag will have their name on it. To that point, there is no need to contact the department about draw results. Once again, AZGFD appreciates the patience and support of its valued customers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joe hunter Report post Posted March 9, 2021 My card was compromised and I was issued a new card today...now what ? It’s not like this is the first year of the AZ elk draw or this is the first year of high speed internet. I bet the guy who called me yesterday from India to tell me I won 2.5 million dollars and a new Mercedes Benz and the the only thing I had to do is send him a $500 process fee, work in the same office as AZG&F.

wish2hunt Report post Posted March 9, 2021 This is the problem of not charging cards in a timely manner. Every day longer is a better chance of something happening to cards. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed!!! imo they need to either allow another opportunity for cc updates before they charge the cards or institute call backs for declined cards. Az game and fish dropped the ball and they should make it right. Problem is they likely won't do anything!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bustedknuckleinc Report post Posted March 9, 2021 They haven’t even charged one card yet. This is a screw up from this new system they implemented and they are blaming it on the increase in applications. I could care less when results are announced but just be straight. We F*+ked up.🤷♂️ 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can I order something from Amazon and get it the same day. But G&F can’t get something processed in two weeks. I called the draw office a couple weeks ago and found out there is only 2 ladies who deal with the whole draw data. Wow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
