I've never once turned in my general deer tag to get the multiseason.

So you had an archery tag and the multiseason tag at the same time?

Not on me at the same time, but I have never turned one in. I have bought one I'm pretty sure every year since they came out, I always do my license purchasing online.

Drock, why do you want to buy your multi tag this early?  I guess it makes sense if you want to apply for different weapons on your quality deer, but if not just keep the tag you want (weapon) till after the draws. If you draw your special permit then you won't have to buy the multi deer, if you don't draw, then go exchange your deer tag for the multiple tag.  Save ya 140 dollars!

Do you have an archery tag now that you bought with your license and have again been drawn for the multiseason?  Maybe they just caught on this year that people like you had two tags in their possession, not in the field but you did get issued an archery tag first online, then were drawn for multiseason and were allowed to then purchase the multiseason tag and still retain the original archery tag.

On a side note I purchased my license online this year and they sent my bear and cougar tags, I was waiting on multiseason draw so I didn't get the deer and elk tags.  Anyway there was a problem with the printer and my tags came offset on the paper with no date on the side to notch.  A couple of days later new tags and a letter came saying to destroy the other tags that were printed with no date to notch, that they made and error and it was illegal for me to keep the misprinted tag or use it for a second animal.

Just go to a license dealer and exchange your old tag for the new tag. You need to do it during business hours, I believe, because the dealer will need to call the WDFW in Olympia.

Next year don't select the deer tag yet when you purchase the package. You can get the tag later if you don't draw the multi.

:Yeah:

Two years ago I had to turn in my general tag in order to purchase my multi season tag.
