" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I bet they are trying to get more people to buy it instead just applying, not getting drawn for a special permit and then not buying the darn thing.

Hey Josh,

Yeah, I didn't really expect them to lower the elk Multi price.  With all the peaole that draw a multi-deer tag and don't buy one, I'm sure tehy decided to lower this price to entice more buyers.  No issues selling the multi-elk.  But, maybe now that the seasons and tags are defined, they can get the drawing done soon for all multi tags.

Hi Adam,

That price change really isn't enough to change my actions.  If I had time to really hunt a lot, I'd buy it either way.  Without enough time to use it like I would like, the drop isn't enough to make me buy it knowing I won't get as much use out of it as I'd like.

I'm still glad they lowered it.  I usually don't even apply for multi-deer.  Never needed it, as I usually fill my archery tag.  But, this year is different for me.  My wife's cancer is raising it's ugly head (again) and I don't yet know when or if I will be able to go.  So, I'll be buying it if drawn for more options.

I think we should not buy it again this year if drawn and see if they will drop it another $40 next year.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife.  The biggest benefit to the tag really is the additional options and time afield it affords.  I bought it once and had a blast hunting all three seasons.  In the end, I didn't kill a bigger buck than I could have in any of the three seasons but it was still well worth it.

Add one more to the list of people who will never buy a multi tag here. Just add up, even the discounted prices of a deer tag plus the multi tag and you are at least half way to an out of state tag where you can still hunt all three weapons and probably have a better hunt.  :twocents: Only incentive, IMHO, is the chance to put in for different weapon permits.

 :yeah:

Prime example of govt bureaucratic failure. They really don't understand their customers. 60% increase in the number of tags and they couldn't even get enough people to put in for them. I'd pay the 187.50 if they included a transport tag for each weapon. It's still too much for one deer and when I'm drawn I won't be picking it up. Elk yes.
