Arizona draws closed around the same time as ND Rifle, their results came out yesterday. Seems to be a problem with more than ND on getting drawings done. One of you tech savvy guys could probably make a pretty penny fixing all these different states that can't get results out fast enough for the applicants.

To be fair I think 3 weeks (assuming they come out this week) is acceptable. Wyoming NR elk is 4 months .

Yeah that was kind of my point for some people not everyone, I normally don't worry because I am just now lately getting into applying and buying points out of state. We didn't get our crane tags but should next year with the points, fingers crossed. We didn't want to put in for the earlier portion because of ND deer season and daughters will have their doe only and any deer so we tried December and January. In Oct they have another round of drawing and we will be going after Javelina so hopefully that one goes. Instead of looking at just "the animal" I am trying to look at alternatives that can give me or the kids similar experiences.

You know the system is bad when California election results are out sooner than the ND Deer lottery results.

It’s not the time. 3 weeks is fine . It’s the way and system that is the problem . There should be tags available to non landowners in every unit . Gratis taking all of them in some units is not right
