Iowa Boy At Heart
For those of you who applied for either elk or pronghorn hunts in Arizona, the draw started Friday. A buddy in the Game Branch at AGFD texted me Friday morning to let me know. Folks down here have been extremely irritated that its taken so long to get the draw done, so we found it extremely funny that the draw started on April 1. And, yes, several locals immediately cried foul when people started posting up about their credit cards being charged. If you applied by credit card, start checking your online statements or calling you card company to see if it was charged. Good luck to you all.
On that note, I get to chase elk again this fall. We found out Friday morning that our credit card has been charged for an elk tag. My favorite part about that news was sending a text to Sydney at school saying "You're going elk hunting! The draw is happening right now and you were drawn!" Based on the amount charged (single tag; I put in with a buddy, so it would have been two tag price), I know it was Syd. We don't what unit or when yet, but we should find that out in a couple of weeks. Fingers are crossed for her first choice, but we're just happy to go chase elk again. Syd's made it clear the lengths she's willing to go to and how hard she's willing to work to get that elk tag filled. Training starts now! Scouting starts as soon as we know what unit!
