Results were posted April 2nd last year, so its not like they are significantly behind where they were last year. G&F has been telling folks they would be out this week, so tomorrow is a decent bet.

They are running a day behind what it was last year. Calm down. Lol
LAST EDITED ON Apr-04-14 AT 05:23PM (MST)[p]Maybe next month! I heard that the person they assigned to do the draw got the flu and no one knows when she will be back to work. Seems like the more technology they put in place the worse their process gets. Every year later and later.
Got an idea where the draw can be fun for all. Build machines similar to slot machines that have numbers on the wheels instead of images and put them in the AZGF offices. Swipe your CC and key in the hunt you want to apply for then pull the handle and let the wheels spin. If there are 40 tags for the hunt you applied for and the number the machine stops on is between 1 and 40, your card is charged and the machine prints your tag. If your number is higher then you go on to your second choice and repeat the process. You either leave with a tag or you don't. Instant gratification and a win win for all concened.
Just a fun way to vent on a Friday afternoon I guess.

Well, I guess it ain't as unusual as I thought. I went back into the MM archives and found the dates where results were posted from 2009 through last year.
2014 - ????
2013 - 04-02-13 appx 10:00 AM
2012 - 04-09-12 appx 02:00 PM
2011 - 03-29-11 appx 11:00 AM (Good year for me personally)
2010 - 03-29-10 appx 10:30 AM
2009 - 03-30-09 appx 03:00 PM
Can anyone guess (see) when the On-Line credit card process began? I guess the first or second week of April is the new norm. A post on another site said next Thursday the 10th and I thought Ya Right, but he is probably pretty close to the mark.
Have not applied for deer the last four years so has posting those results slipped into August yet? Used to come out around the third week in July.
At least Colorado results are posted BEFORE AZ deer apps are due. What a novel concept.

I'm guessing the new bit with the CCs is causing some delay. They can't post the results until they make three attempts to contact those who had CC rejections and go onto the next person in line if needed. Only then will the draw results be accurate.

It's like any government entity, inefficient and slow. It would take a day to tie someones shoe, if they were given that task. Just know, that it will always be slow and unpredictable. I mean if you took everyones money for a drawing in early february and gave them the draw results in April in the public business sector, your business would fail. It is what it is beaurocratic mire and inefficiency, so expect it and don't get to excited about it, cause it aint going to change.

Well we just passed 10am Tues and nothing yet 
You would think that a few wise politicians (I know that's an oxymoron) and the business that buy their elections would see the value in providing updated information as its known. Lots of money starts flowing the day we know where we are going and that's just good for the state economy especially in those smaller towns and businesses that benefit from the hunting community.
From the time many of our CC's got hit til now, two weekends of spending a few hundred bucks on fuel and motels and fishing supplies have gone by and are now a lost economic opportunity.

Hmm. I hit refresh about every 15min and I never saw that screen.
Definitely not seeing any results yet either. Wonder if you just somehow caught a very short online "test" window of if you still see that? (few years back some of us got in around noon but they quickly shut it down and then turned it on for real sometime after 2pm)

Faked us out. Pulled the "results are available" post and went back to "applications being accepted". Seems like technology still has them confused.
The Left Over list that was up for a little while was dated yesterday. Hummmmm
