    Youth Tag Donation?

    Come to think of it, I can’t recall a time I am aware of when someone received more than one tag at all, regardless of species in a given year since that policy change.
  10. Dang. Thats a deal.

    Youth Tag Donation?

    Not sure when this happened but AZGFD changed the policy probably 5 years ago and no longer allows anyone to receive more than one tag per species / year.

    Youth Tag Donation?

    Well it’s a bit of a black box that does not have a great deal of transparency, which should be addressed. Again, accountability is good. But, the way I have experienced this, is that the charity keeps a file of eligible program participants and their preferences (elk, mule deer, etc) and endorsements (crossbow, CHAMP, etc) abilities, along with a list of tags they have received. Once they have a tag they compare it to their list of participants and start making calls. Most of the tags I have seen distributed were on very short notice, often less than a week. So the charity is trying to balance the needs of participants with their capabilities, their availability and their past hunts. So this means those who have the means to hire help, the availability availability to go at a moments notice and / or the ability to hunt on their own may receive more tags than those who are less available or less capable. It’s certainly not perfect, nor precise. But if you see a single person receive more tags than another it could be for one of many reasons.

    One of the more thoughtful interactions I have had here. Thanks.

    Youth Tag Donation?

    I guess you could say that broadly targeting groups of people, who are already experiencing some pretty shitty circumstances with limited anecdotal evidence, is a pet peeve of mine. Not sure if you saw the original post, but the OP was asking specifically about a youth javelina tag, which he cannot return in the manor you suggested. Seems like there is an axe to grind here. If you have a specific situation you are unhappy with maybe you can address that situation directly with those involved or the department. There is a lot that goes into these programs that is not seen through the public lens and understanding the entire process may be insightful.

    Accountability is always a good thing. Publicly broadcasting hearsay out of jealousy is nonsense.

    Youth Tag Donation?

    Please tell me more about what I should or shouldn’t think. While you’re at it go ahead and provide evidence to support your claims. Or, take the easy way out and continue to slander broad groups of charities selflessly serving others. A lot of sour grapes over a youth javelina tag.

    Well this got off track. But, it seems like there has been a pattern of this stuff in that area. I am glad the commission is coming down harder than they did in the past.

    Antelope 19A Archery Hunt looking for a decoy

    Back in that time period there were two hunts with 60ish tags each. The unit was also much larger. Half that stuff is houses now.
