Got an email from fish and game this morning:

 

 

Portal account holders will be among the first to get the news before the draw results officially are released. Its quick, easy and free to create a Portal account. Just click on the Sign in to Account button in the upper right-hand corner of the www.azgfd.gov home page and then select the Create an Account option, filling in the requested information.

 

The Portal allows customers to create a secure account where they can manage and view their contact information, as well as their license and draw results information and bonus points, in their personal My AZ Oudoors section.

 

A Portal account is mobile-friendly, which means customers can view their information on their smartphone. Its also a convenient way to gain access to the online license purchase and hunt draw application systems.

 

Meanwhile, the random draw process remains on schedule and should be completed by mid-April. The department is aware that applicants are eager to learn whether they will be receiving a hunt-permit. The department will post an announcement on its website and Facebook page when results officially are released. All permit-tags and refunds are expected to be mailed by April 22.

 

.. Sigh

I hate to be the guy who says this about guys cards expiring tonight but I feel the need. We are all big boys/women here for the most part and by now in your life should understand things don't always go as planned and should pick a card that expires after the result release day or send in fund the old fashion way. I feel the same way about how they circle back 3 times with everyone who's card get rejected before moving on to the next person. There likely are several people each year who put in with checks after the second chance deadline that bounce for reasons out of their control and does G&F follow up three times with them? We have just been lucky the past several years that they process our cards in March no where does it say in the regulations that all cards must be processed and the draw ran in March. With all that being said I am sure you will get your three phone calls just like everyone else does every year.

I agree with you on the card dates. How smart do you have to be to look at the date on the front of the card before you apply?

I agree that they should do away with the call back if you card doesn't go through the first time. About five years ago I missed a small detail on the check and blew my loyalty and bonus points for elk along with my fathers and buddy's due to the fact they were on the same app. I didn't get a call saying summit another check. I just had to take it for what it was, as should those with bad cards.

I love all these game and fish brown nosers. Just because they put a deadline for end of April doesn't make it ok for them to take that long. We've said it before that other states can get their draw done close to a month after app deadline. Az takes at least 2 month if not 2 and a half. If they said the deadline was end of June for results should we just sit back and deal with it and wait and say they are on schedule? It's 2016 people. Technology has advanced more than ever and azgfd is only going backwards. If it truly took 2 and a half months to get the draw done without problems then that's fine. But when they are taking that long because they are incompetent and have been screwing up the draw for years that's not ok. They make tens of millions of dollars off these draws. If a private company had as many incompetent idiots working for them and wasting money like azgfd they would have went bankrupt long ago and a better company would have moved it. Unfortunately were stuck with this department and have to deal with it but it's still not ok.
