Quote from: Bob33 on September 25, 2014, 01:24:39 PMTo be clear, this are not additional deer tags. They are permits. They are an extension of the number (and now the season) of permits that were available in the spring draw for certain categories such as Youth.The permit allows a hunter with an unused tag to hunt during the designated time period, for the animals designated under the original hunts. It does not allow the harvest of an additional animal. Should the department decide to offer additional tags, that would be a separate action.The individuals notified this week will need to purchase a "substitute permit" (aka "green card") for $.50. They would need to use a regular, unfilled deer tag to hunt.QuoteYou were one of many hunters who applied for one of the following deer special permit hunt choices: • Second Deer - 1303**, 1326, 1329, 1330 (Must purchase a second deer tag) • Deer Youth - 1508, 1511, 1512, 1558, 1559 • Deer 65 and over - 1605, 1608, 1609 • Deer Disabled - 1704, 1707, and 1708 In response to the Carlton Complex fires, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will be allowing more of these permits to be issued. All of these special permits will also give you the option to purchase a second deer tag in your drawn special permit hunt.

I got my email last night and will only use it on a whitetail doe. Every mule deer in the valley deserves as good of a chance as they can get, so I'll remove one invasive species from the mix for them. Maybe 2....
I received the same email: if anyone is against the hunt for these animals, the best way to protest would be to purchase the tag then burn it/not hunt.
This is a bunch of crap! So I apply for a permit that puts me in a unit with 14 other hunters to hunt for a quality buck. Now there will be a bunch of people running around with us in there during this time frame?? Why the frig would they put it the same time as the quality hunt? I wonder if they'd like to give me my points back? These guys making decisions at wdfw are idiots. They couldn't care less about the people buying licenses in this state outside of their money.
The new dates are Oct 11-31 and Nov. 21-30.
I bow hunt bud.

This sucks!
I can understand folks excitement over their children getting a chance to utilize this tag. That's about the only positive I see from this. However, I think its another blunder by the WDFW. Its another sad day for the Methow Valley
