Elk Draw Readiness Checklist

Recommended Posts

Maybe I am being overly optimistic, but I think we are going to start see the credit card chagrining for the elk and antelope draw Friday morning around 7:00-8:00 AM. Went over my checklist today to make sure I am ready:

 

All credit/debit cards used for the various members of my tribe are current and have plenty of funds? Check

Set text alerts for any charges $90 or greater on all cards? Check

Called all bank and card companies to have a note put on the account to approve any and all charges from Arizona Game and Fish? Check

Cleared my work schedule Friday morning so I can check my cards every 30 seconds? Check

 

Going to be a long week…

Told wife that divorce may happen if I here complaints for..... Scouting, shooting, watching elk porn on my phone, talking about said porn, scouting instead of actually hunting for turkey, buying misc gear I may not need, and taking week before the hunt off thru the end of the hunt. Told my boss the sane thing. His answer "you have a problem!" My response... "My problem is people that don't understand lol")

I'm sure it will be Friday. With them not calling they will do it as close to the deadline to update as possible to avoid any issues with folks rhat had something happen between then and whenever.

What makes you guys think they will start hitting cards on Friday?? I think they would want at least a day or two after the credit card update deadline to make sure everything in the system is set and ready to run. I'm thinking monday or tuesday next week they start hitting. However, I will be watching for a hit on Friday as well. Good Luck Fellers!!

The last two draw cycles happening the following morning are why. No need to wait a few days, evething is probably already in the system and most likely has been for days. In fact, the longer they wait, the more problems they will have. Good chance the draw has already happened, but can't start charging cards till the cc update deadline passes.

Because It's possible that the draw and the system checks are completed before Friday.

BS meter set on high for Thursday when people start the "my card got hit!" Check.

 

Other than that, Greyghost85 is in the exact same boat as me. Except elk too. Haven't had an elk tag since 1999 either.
