CC Hits have Started

[WesternSky]

I just got a text from my bank about a $650 charge from AZ game and fish

Good luck to all.

 

[Azguy1990]

First archery bull tag for me

 

[BGbasbhat]

Woooo hooo, congrats to you guys!!!! That's awesome! I just got hit for $50, which I think is my son's youth cow hunt. Yessss!!!

 

[WesternSky]

I wonder how long we have to wait to see which tag it is. Wasn't it 1.5 to 2 weeks before the portals were updated in years past?

 

[AZ8]

Zero for me. Enjoy your hunts. Guess I’ll go shed hunting! Lol

 

[El Gringo]

Archery Bull Tag for me!

 

[Skykarp]

Hoping to get a late hit but if not looks like Unit 1 archery is now a 20 point NR tag.

 

[azhunteraz]

$135 hit today.

 

[BGbasbhat]

Congrats to you guys! Eesh Skykarp, TopRut says 80% @19pts. You make somebody mad at AZGFD? lol

What does top rut say 27 early rifle should take?

 

[SDBugler]

I can't remember from previous years. Will this all be over by the end of today? Just curios with Utah apps due tomorrow.

 

[PleaseDear]

Shut The Front Door!!



I only have 2 points as I drew last year with only 3 points Bull elk tag

Mar 2, 2022	Amazon.com	$2.35
Mar 2, 2022	AZ GAME & FISH DEPT	$650.00

I am so Humbled,



Robb

 

[norby]

Card was hit for 6a Muzzle tags for my brother and I.
Card was hit again, put my son in for 9 early and 10 early!

For the most part, it is already over.

Will be a few dribbling-in as things settle, but history shows it's virtually over.

Robb, I'm guessing they like your "camp cook" down in AZ!!!

thanks AZH. I was hoping for a shot at a 27 archery tag with 17 points and a little help with the increased tags this year.

 

[JDECK]

How long does it normally take to post results in the portal?

 

[Gazelle]

Me too.

 

[bigbull]

Week to week and a half. I would think by end of next week we will know.

 

[Jacack]

nothing for me yet. kind of surprised. put in with 14 for a unit that should of been 100%

 

[azhunteraz]

How long does it normally take to post results in the portal?

If memory serves, generally within a couple of weeks, I think. Maybe a little sooner??

 

[BGbasbhat]

What does top rut say 27 early rifle should take?

Non res, 40% with 23pts, 100% with 24pts

 

[WapitiBob]

Toprut lists last years odds like everybody else.

 

[yotebuster17]

Congrats to you guys! Eesh Skykarp, TopRut says 80% @19pts. You make somebody mad at AZGFD? lol

That was last year. This is this year.

 

[buckmster28]

Non res, 40% with 23pts, 100% with 24pts

Guess They don't like me then either

 

[AZ8]

Only hope now for those not drawn is that you’re next in line for a declined card.

 

[Jayman]

Long time form reader first time posting. Finally have something worthwhile drew early archery in a premium unit. Looking for outfitter recommendations, my unit is in the Coconino.

What unit? That’s a big part of the state

 

[Jayman]

5B North.

 

[El Gringo]

Steve Chappell, High Point Outfitters, Bond Trophy outfitters

 

[AZGuy]

Still haven’t heard of one person gettin an antelope charge.

 

[bigbull]

Still haven’t heard of one person gettin an antelope charge.

Same. Kind of weird. Maybe some hope for tomorrow.

 

[bigbull]

What do you suppose would be better? That's the best information to go off of unless you have a crystal ball.

 

[CouesFanatic]

5B North.

you don't need a guide in that unit

 

[AZ8]

[mike111]

Archery Bull tag here!

 

[Jayman]

16

 

[WesternSky]

5B North.

Did you only put one choice? How do you know what you drew?

 

[shedneck]

Congratulations. A buddy and I applied for 5BN with 15. Looks like we just missed it. Enjoy the hunt and please share pictures!

 

[CAelknuts]

5B North.

Jayman, Hunter Weems, Arizona Custom Hunts, would be an excellent choice. He did a scouting package for me on a tag my son drew in 5BN. Son killed one of the biggest bulls to come out of that unit in the year he drew.

 

[Muley_73]

First AZ elk tag. 3B was my first choice so I would assume that's what I drew.

Any recommendations on guides for the archery on 3B?

 

[Squaw]

Could be your 2nd choice depending on your point level and unit. Either way, congrats

Pm sent. Congrats.

Thanks! I had 4 non resident points so that was my logic on the first choice. I’d be just as happy with my 2nd choice though!

 

[creed]

early archery bull unit 9 or 8
archery antelope 18B or 7

 

[LIK2HNT]

No love from Arizona this year, but both elk and antelope were Hail Maries. On the bright side after spending months trying to get components I need to hand load some 20ga TSS turkey loads everything is coming together. Only need .410 components now.
Wish all that drew luck and keep the rest of us up to date on your hunts.

 

[flycrewsupe]

Another year of not drawing. Just a bigger number with 27 NR elk points. Thank god I started this odyssey when I was young.

Is there any recourse or am I out of luck?

chit out of luck, was your card tagged for fraud after 11:59PM on March 1st?

 

[azhunteraz]

Saw on another local AZ board that a couple of guys woke-up to credit card hits this morning. Still some hope for a few, maybe??

 

[Jacack]

i just got hit this am. i was shocked that it didnt happen the other days as i had the points

 

[Skykarp]

Talk about a heck of a weekend surprise!

 

[Jacack]

Talk about a heck of a weekend surprise!

tell me about it, i have been a grumpy sob since wednesday but all that changed this am.

 

[elkchaserreturns]

Yep! Saturday morning, I was going through that whole denial, bummed, oh well there's always next year process when I gave the CC one more call, BAMM! Card got hit on Thursday for $135. Now I'm just waiting to see if it is for my 1st or 2nd choice.

 

[Paradox]

chit out of luck, was your card tagged for fraud after 11:59PM on March 1st?

Yep you are right. If the card don’t work for ANY reason, you are sol! Man I'm pissed

 

[JDECK]

Results are posted in the portal.

 

[elkchaserreturns]

The AZGF Portal has been updated! At least it shows what my draw results are for this year.
Yaaahooo! Going archery bull hunting in my favorite unit again this year.

Good luck to all that drew this year, and keep your fingers crossed for the monsoons to hit on time this year.

 

[OutdoorWriter]

Looks like some lucky wounded warrior will be getting a unit 23 late bull permit from me.

Kudos to you for that ODW.
Are you sure you are ready to "throw in the towel"? I would be honored to help you anyway I can if you can find the gittyup to go. I'm 66 now & I was fortunate to draw last year. I hunted the entire season & it about whipped my butt several times but, when it came time to put in this year, I decided I'm gonna keep on keepin on until they're throwin dirt on my grave.
I am retired now & I am absolutely serious with my offer.

I appreciate the offer, but this would be me with the addition of an oxygen cannula. I don't want to put that onus on anyone.

Seriously, I'm on O2 24/7, which is the major problem at any higher altitude. I use an electric oxygenator at home & have to carry a small tank when I go somewhere. Otherwise, I would be good to go!

Well, Dang! How about I bring you a generous amount of elk meat if I finally pull it all together this year? And, of course, I would like to offer any assistance you may need with that busload of Ukrainian refugees you referred to in another post!

That's a nice offer, but I bet you know other folks who would appreciate the elk meat more than me.

As for the refugees, there's already line at my front door waiting for the gals' arrival. If you hurry over, I can sneak you to the front of the queue. Bring some tequila & limes.

Could be fun! I wonder if they know how to skin an elk? Sure would require a bunch of Graham Crackers, Hershey bars, & marshmellows to keep em entertained around the campfire!

Tony , I got my 3a 3c early Bull Rifle tag. With just 7 points. I didn't think at 66 I would ever get another trophy tag. God bless Buddy and I will shoot a big one for you. Don't know how hunts I have left in Me. ..................BULL!
