I'm thinking today is the day...........
Anyone getting antsy for results??
- Thread starter schmalts
- Start date
Some guy on MM who is apparently dating somebody who works for the F&G says not until at least April 9.
Oh yeah. Well my cousin lives next to the guy who has the cleaning contract with the Ben Avery shooting facility, and that guy's son's girlfriend has a bowling league with the lady who does the check cashing of applications. The Cashier was in the crapper, and heard someone say that their boss was at a sensitivity training workshop and while there, he was told it would be Thursday. But over the other sounds in the crapper, she couldn't tell if it was this Thursday or next Thursday.
So my cousin told my Uncle that, and he told me, and now I told all of you.
That is every bit as reliable, or more reliable, than the stuff on MM and elsewhere.

It scares me that they changed the draw date on the website from late March to mid April
They decided to take two extra weeks going over YOUR app with a fine tooth comb.
Good luck.

Some Application info. ( posted on another site)
For all the speculators, here are the TRUE #s on AZ apps. There are a mere few percentage points differences from 2008 and 2009 with slight increases in BP only apps.
2008
Elk apps -- 81,212
Rejected -- 3,765
BPs only -- 6,262
2009
Elk apps -- 79,056
Rejected -- 3,536
BPs only -- 7,174
2008
Pronghorn apps -- 22,696
Rejected -- 998
BPs only -- 5,024
2009
Pronghorn apps -- 20,883
Rejected -- 941
BPs only -- 5,876
Total Apps for both species
2008 -- 119,957
2009 -- 117,873
So it looks like about a 2 percent (just under 2,500) drop in total apps from 2008 to 2009.

I suspect most the people who dropped out, were not those with 15 points, so the true difference is probably very miniscule.
God, I hope I am not one of those in the rejected pile.
Pretty sure that I will draw both elk and antelope though. I am the luckiest SOB that ever stepped foot on the planet, so pulling off a double should be nothing for me.

Still not as high as everyone is saying but still a significant amount. Elk apps that matter are down 2.7% and lope apps that matter are down 8.3%. I would also guess some people will be applying for the really hard to draw areas in hopes of not drawing but just in case they do they have a great hunt.
Very hard to guess what everyone is thinking. I was also surprised about the rejected apps. I would have never guessed there are that many schmalts around.

Hate to admit it, but I was in the AZ deer reject pile one year.
My brother was in the Elk pile one year. It fuggin stings.
It is the only state we/I have ever had a problem.

Funny thing is, I never screwed up an AZ application. I applied with someone as a group that did like 4 years ago or something. These guys never forget though, even after drawing a unit 9 lope tag with 2 points
