Az game and fish results !

I believe if you do some research you'll find they are prohibited from earning interest on your money for the draw by state statute. By doing this they are protecting you and not tying your funds up to delay process to earn float (interest). If something changed in this regard feel free to correct me. I'm in same boat as you they cashed my check too.

I don't think this is the case with the CHECKS that are sent in. BUT..state statute does prohibit them from charging CCs until the permit is actually drawn.

i really think if AZG&F is trully recognised as a leader and an example to other states on how a wildlife department is operated . the online draw process is one area that they have failed misserably and instead of leading they are laggin far behind!!
fix it or forget it
PAPER ALL THE WAY never any problems

I think we all have to agree that credit card fraud is a huge issue. I think the way the department is trying to handle it is fair in that some poor guy that bought gas and then finds out his card balance is $2500.00 higher has to cancel that card. Well is it fair that he lose his tag?
Things are different today and eventually they'll find a way to get things done a little quicker. We can't look past the money the department receives for application fees and the paper method cost them $$. Tag numbers are decreasing so the department has to find a way to be able to keep tag fees reasonable and still generate the funding they need. I preferred the paper method too, but I like the advantages of reasonable tag prices even more.

Ain't that thr truth!!!
I fondly recall the ol' days when paper apps were the norm and NO ONE knew whether they were drawn or not until near the deadline to mail out the permits. There was no call in to check results. Instead, we received a tag or a little pink rejection card in the mail. Most times, they were mailed at about the same time.
It's humorous to see how spoiled some folks got and seem to act like 5 yr. olds who can't wait until morning to open the Christmas presents.

Tony,
First, congratulations! Second... I bet it would be nearly impossible to get you upset about anything now. Just as matter of knowing which sheep unit.
And I'll be totally happy with the system when thay tell me I get my desert sheep and/or 13B deer tag(s).

You know I see this same thing every year, I don't put in for the early bow tags for 1 main reason. I know that I wont have time to prepare! The guys that apply for these tags are or should be fully aware of the situation that they are getting into. Yes I would like to have the results posted earlier, and someday they will get it figured out, but I do like the option of putting in online.
If they go back to only paper apps then it's going to take more time entering all the info by hand. Do it online and it takes longer to process cc's. So can we say that the paper guys caused the draw to be a week late? Umm no. It is what it is.
Remember it's the second Tuesday in June's deadline that makes it feel worse. Sometimes it's a week into June other times it's 2 weeks. AZ does a pretty good job handling all the apps IMHO.
I just call em as I see em!

I called AZ Game and Fish and was just told the results will be posted by Friday. Not sure if that is worth anything but that is what I was told. I am interested in the results. I thought I would be 100% for 12AE early with 7 NR points. Nothing on the card so I guess I get to wait and see.

I am trying to learn the AZ system. I thought I had a chance but I guess I was wrong...No big deal, I still have a few great hunts for this year. I am getting very close (or at least I think I am in AZ (now 15 NR elk points and it appears as if I will have 8 NR deer points)

It takes a lot of points to be guaranteed a tag in AZ. I drew a dec tag this year on 2 points. That's what I love about this state, everyone has a chance! With a few exceptions of course.

I wish they would charge all the fees upfront when you apply. No matter what you do, you cannot guarantee that your credit card issuer's antifraud software won't deny payment. If you are lucky enough to draw two tags, the probability of one of them getting denied goes up. It doesn't matter if you have ample available credit and pay your bill in full and on-time every month. Especially for transactions such as hunting permits which are classified as MOTO (mail order/telephone order) by card companies the chance of denial exists. Can you imagine getting lucky enough to draw a sheep tag only to have your card denied through no fault of your own?

Actually, there is something you can do. All it takes is a simple phone call to tell them that you MIGHT be getting charges from AZ G&F and to let them post. Your CC company will make a notation to that effect on your account.
Also, the CC company will usually notify the CC holder in some way before completely rejecting a charge as fraud. Usually it's a call from an 800 or 888 number.
When I went to Africa in 2003, my Visa folks went ding-ding with the car rental charge in Johannesburg. They put a hold on the charge (pending) and immedially called my wife. She told them what was going on and how long I would be in Africa.
Sooo now...everytime I travel ANYWHERE, I call AMEX and Chase Visa and tell them what's happening. They always will ask for a start/stop date. I really make sure to do this when we travel to Mexico every fall.
Now, all of the above said...your mileage might vary, depending on your card issuer. ;-)

The loyalty point will be there at a later date. That is how mine was after the elk/antelope.

I talked to a friend at G&F this morning. Everybody slamming the G&F site through the "backdoor" temporarily stopped G&F from updating loyalty point numbers. The regular draw results link should go live someday later today. Hopefully the gremlins in the system will depart shortly ...
