How much does a 2nd deer tag cost if you draw one?

[krapmit]

I drew a second deer tag this year for a doe...I've heard that they cost $70. is that true!? 

[bobcat]

Yes, that is correct.

[h2ofowlr]

It's true.  It wasn't so bad when they were around $26.  Now if you don't fill it, that's a lot to spend on a doe.

I drew a second deer tag last year and did not buy it.  Greed has taken over the WDFW IMO.

I applied for one, drew it and filled the tag when they 1st came out. Then they went to the expensive price and i quit applying for them. $70 is a lot to spend to shoot a doe, especially given the fact it is a herd management tool in most areas. We shouldn't have to pay that kind of money. Take it back to $26 and i back in.

Pretty ridiculous like you said to make us pay for something that's good for the herd (usually)

Yep use to get them all the time... Will never apply for one now...

I know a number of people who didn't buy their tag due to price.  I wonder how many of these tags go unpurchased?

Hopefully a lot of them, because most of the areas with 2nd deer tags, don't have too many deer. We need to stop killing the does.

[brokenvet]

$68 to be precise.

Maybe I'd agree with "some" don't have too many deer, but I bet from a scientific standpoint it would help the herds in a lot of the areas if not most of them, especially the ones on the eastside.

Look at the 500 and 600 GMU permits. Are the deer overpopulated in those unis?

[jackelope]

Don't know. I've only hunted one of them a couple times for elk. Saw deer every time although that doesn't mean it's overpopulated. I think overpopulated is beyond the objective though. Managing a healthy level should be considered too before overpopulation happens.

 

Where's a bio when we need one?

[higunner]

Yes its true.

[Kowsrule30]

Kitsap must be heavily over populated.... They gave out ten second tags to modern....
