My guess is that nearly every Game and Fish management for every state is overwhelmed as indicated by the information related in these threads. I have stopped even attempting to draw tags in Arizona since the probability is non-existent. Why should I hand over the kind of money they require only to get no tags at all. They make the money they hold from me and I get nothing in return. And I'm not putting in for those 'once-in-a-lifetime' tags either, I'm simply applying for general elk and mule deer tags. I don't hunt racks, I hunt for meat.
In order to hunt at all, I've found other situations where I can hunt and not have to spend $5,000-10,000 for a special tag from the White Mountain Apache Tribe. None are in Arizona but exist in surrounding states and a few that require some longer travels. I can satisfy both my desire for hunting as well as keeping my freezer full for the next year.
I hope for nothing but the Best Wishes for all of you and your potential for drawing the tags you want!
