Yesterday, I got a very unusual call from the Arizona Game & Fish Department and I'm wondering if any of YOU got the same call.

I got a call from a lady who said her name was I think Carol Coleman.

She said that there had been a error in loading my application for the spring Gould's turkey tag and that they were going to do another drawing and she asked if I wanted to be in it?

I asked how many people were affected by the Department's mistake and she said she didn't know,but thought she had about 20 names.

She told me I had three options, one of them being entered into a new draw if I gave up my right to appeal the mistake.

I was kinda taken back by this and said, "sure put me in the new draw!"

I commented that my odds had to be better in this new drawing and she said that no, this drawing would be the same odds as the other one.

Well now I'm wondering if I did the right thing by waiving my right to appeal to the Department about this mess up.

And I'm wondering just exactly what happened and how many people were affected by the mistake.

I know of one other Arizona hunter, Garth Goodrich, who got the same call.

He like me, opted to get into this next draw.

Just wondering if any more out there got this call? This seems kinda odd to me.

I also got the name and number of another lady that Carol said I could call. Her name is Mary Grace..I'm to call her on Monday.

I hope it all works out for you. One of the reasons Arizona did away with the electronic application process were the "problems" they were having with the vendor handling the drawings. I hope this doesn't result in their returning to the antiquated paper application system.
 
I didn't have the opportunity to follow up on this today as I was involved in a last minute juniors deer/javelina hunt in Unit 16A.

I will call tomorrow and follow up on this.

Crazy.

Man, I'm already worried about the elk draw now! I have enough points to draw a tag for a specific hunt. Hope they fix these issues. As we all know, the elk and antelope draw is much more demanding on the draw resources compared to the other draws.
