[1manshow]

Was woundering your opinion on being 1 day late if app is post marked on feb 10 and they receive by the 11th....Will they send back my check and application??? thanks

 

[desertbucks]

You snooze you lose. Yes they will probably return your check and tell you good luck next year.

If you live close enough take it in to one of the regional offices.


If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

I talked to friend that said he had heard that the applications numbers were way down from last year.Anybody else hear the rumor.

 

[ThumpinRM]

I've heard of several people only putting in for bonus points this year. Come on Bull tag!!!

I'm thinking with the economy and the probability gas will be back up around four bucks, some will opt for points. Add in the money up front, well...

 

[kennyazman]

I sure hope that is true. Maybe I'll finally get a rut tag. I guess we will see. I wonder how we can find out if that is a rumor or not. anybody know?

To get back on point regarding the original question, you are SOL. Numerous Cabelas TAGS applicants went through this last year. Arizona's response was as it should have been. I can not understand why someone would wait until the last minute, nothing personal...

It happened to me once in my home state of CA. I'd never missed a draw date before. That spring I had just returned from the Yucatan hunting ocellated turkeys and then a customer invited me to hunt Gould's in Chihuahua. I was so into these hunts that I spaced out the draw deadline. I was so mad at myself because it took me out of the max preference points for elk. Didn't hurt me none, the following year I drew a Tule elk tag and got an 8x8

 

[1manshow]

Well sometimes life gets busy and things get over looked.... with me my buisness comes first and hunting second....I will just need to buy a NM landowner tag!!! 1manshow

 

[chipc]

Too bad 1man. I feel for ya. As someone said Cabela's went through the same thing last year. Even with Cabela's clout the AZGFD wouldn't budge - and they shouldn't. Hopefully you'll find a good tag anyway. GOOD LUCK. Chip

 

[mulehorn]

I talked with a G&F rep. last weekend and he said that apps. were down this year. Dont know if that will mean anything in the final draw but I am banking on a Bull tag this year!

 

[DonMartin]

You know that when you miss the application deadline you CAN loose two points!

First of all you don't get a bonus point for that year PLUS if you had accumulated a Loyalty bonus point for five years of applying, you loose that one also.

Never, ever wait until the last day..

If that is correct, it may be due to the economy.

 

[Khunter]

Amen. do your homework if it is important to you. I feel I hang myself out there enough just by not putting in ahead of the "we'll help you fix it if you make a mistake" deadline.

I HOPe we all DRAw GOOD LUCK>>>>>>>>>>>>>
