Re: Draw Results
I haven't been in the game long enough to remember anything other than the current format... so it's been like this for the last 5 years or so.mapleton archer wrote:Is it just me? Didn't we used to get results earlier than this??? or am i just getting impatient with old age?
I wish the drawing was done sooner... or the application period was later. But beggars can't me choosers in my case.

Re: Draw Results
The results used to come out about this time of year, but that was changed when they moved the application period back a month. So the results are now a month later, and the DWR likes to keep the money in the bank gaining interest as long as possible, which is why we have to wait a couple of months.
I personally don't mind waiting and it's nice to find out in May. Arizona releases its deer results in mid-late July so if plan on hunting an early archery hunt you already need to be scouting before you even have a tag in your pocket.

Re: Draw Results
One advantage to getting results later in the year is it's closer to the season to use that tag.

Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison.

Re: Draw Results
All you pay for when putting in for the draw is the application fee. So what money are they getting all this extra interest on?JBird wrote:The results used to come out about this time of year, but that was changed when they moved the application period back a month.

Live to hunt, hunt to live.
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell

Re: Draw Results
Hmm good question bow_nut. I never really thought about that. Way back when someone told me that and I guess I just figured they were right.
Re: Draw Results
I could understand that back when we had to pay up front and then wait for the refund if you didn't draw but now you only get charged for a tag if you draw is much better IMO.

Re: Draw Results
Many (not all) states are required to place all pending draw money in a non-interest bearing account.......which essentially means it is impossible for agencies to "make" money from the pending draw process.
