Multi-Season Deer Permit

[cowboycraig]

Got the Multi-Season this year. I am modern rifling it, so season starts soon. I have been trying to figure out "what exactly" does a multi-season Deer tag allow me to do? How would ya'll describe it?

I would describe it as a tag that allows you to hunt mulitple seasons using weapons pertaining to that season.

Oh that makes sense. So with one permit you can hunt each season with weapons pertaining to that season.

I know it should be easy to grasp, but I can be a bit of a brick sometimes.

You've got it. One tag to fill, multiple seasons and weapon choices to use. Also, say you are an avid bowhunter....you can sling arrows during rifle season. However....you can't reverse that and shoot a rifle during bow season.

So basically you already missed two seasons you could have hunted early season archery and muzzleloader.

I hope you're prepared to hunt the late archery or late muzzleloader season... otherwise you just wasted $140 on your multi season tag. Of course, I've heard of guys who also "wasted" their money by killing a deer on September 1st with a bow.

i think its worth it, i use it to have it in case i see a big buck while hunting archery elk, and the same while helping buddies hunt during muzzleloader elk, then I horn hunt rifle season, and then i have late archery and muzzleloader season to hunt basically with no pressure and fill the tag...

Does the WDFW actually issue you 3 tags?  I bought my usual muzzleloader tag, then bought the multiseason for the first time this year.   I don't recall receiving 2 more tags.

i waited until the 2nd

[D-Rock425]

Have you purchased the tag yet or did you just draw it?

You should have ONE tag that says "multi season" on it. Not three. You only get one tag because you can only harvest one deer. If your tag says muzzleloader you need to exchange it for the correct tag.

[fordpowerforever]

if you drew it but didn't purchase before Sept 1st you are no longer able to purchase it, like mentioned above you only get one deer but you can hunt from sept 1 - dec 31st with only a few times off.... with the correct weapon and area choices.

Which means you are only able to hunt modern firearm now, as if you never had it.

There is still late muzzy and archery season that he could hunt if he had a ml or bow.

Not if he didn't buy the tag before September 1st

Why did you apply for this tag?

I know everyone who applied got a tag this year, but that isn't always the case.

Every year I hear about people who apply for various tags, and then don't buy them because "they didn't understand" or "its too expensive"

Second deer is a good example.

If you don't know, or can't afford it, then don't apply.

  it really pisses me off with elk, I have five points

[bobcat]

I usually apply for the multi season deer tag just so I will have the option of buying it if I decide to. Since you have to apply in March, it's too early for me to really know if I'm going to want it or not by the time hunting season comes around. And no, I have never purchased it. Sorry if that bothers some of you but to me it's well worth the $6 fee to keep the option open until September 1st.

That is true IF he purchased the tag before Sept 1st.  However, from the original post, it sounds like he had no idea what the multi-season is, so it is unlikely that he purchased the tag before the cutoff.  Hence, now he is now limited to modern firearm as if he never drew the permit in the first place.

Yes you are right.

Shouldn't bother anyone......there have been more tags than applicant with 100% draw for the last two years anyways.  Its not like elk.

You should tell Radsav that. Lol.

[boneaddict]

    What, hes so unlucky he didn't draw even with 100% success.

[grundy53]

Yep. There are actually a few people that didn't draw. I think that they had more people put in for it this year since they reduced the price. So it wasn't a 100% draw this year.

[boneaddict]

OUCH!  My mistake.....    OK, lets all be mad at Bobcat then.

[grundy53]

OUCH!  My mistake.....    OK, lets all be mad at Bobcat then.

Well Radsav and the three other people that didn't draw can be mad at him. Hahaha

[bobcat]

Actually, I didn't apply for it this year. This was the only year I have missed. So, it's not my fault Radsav didn't draw.   

[grundy53]

Hahaha

[boneaddict]

Dang, you guys are both $180 fatter in the wallet.  I am happy with myself this year.  I actually made it to the second week of hunting season this year with my expensive deer tag.

[RadSav]

I still get to get up early and chauffer the angry native.  Too bad Weyco won't allow us into our big blacktail spot.  Though they did say they will let us in there come MF elk season

Not sure why I applied for Multi-Elk.  But I did draw that!  So my luck doesn't suck as much as usual.  Just worse than 99.9% of other deer hunters.  That's pretty good for me!

[boneaddict]

Oh good, so they did get 180 of your hard earned money.
