Probably has been covered but, if said permit holder decides to only put in for special permits for one weapon can he/she hold off of purchasing the MS tag till after the drawing results are out?

that does not make sense, why put in for a multi tag if you hunt with only one weapon? the multitags winners should have several weeks to buy the tags and then have a redraw for the remaining mutitags who were not purchased. the way it is now the winners have 3 months to decide, the way I read it. mike w

It does make sense. That may be the strategy I use. I'll get the modern deer tag, apply for a couple of the quality hunts, and if drawn for one of those I'll save $140 and not buy the multi-season tag. If I don't draw a quality permit I'll buy the multi-season. I see no need to have both.

I thought you had to declare before you could submit a permit application.

DIYARCHERYJUNKIE · « **Reply #5 on:** April 17, 2015, 08:24:11 AM »

you do. But you can buy an eastside archery tag and apply for the quality eastside archery hunts and if drawn skip the Multi and hunt east archery on the permit. If not drawn buy the multi and hunt all general seasons.

grundy53 · « **Reply #6 on:** April 17, 2015, 08:27:53 AM »

Thought you couldn't change your tag if you applied for special permits.

DIYARCHERYJUNKIE · « **Reply #7 on:** April 17, 2015, 10:30:00 AM »

I would think that the multi is valid to buy until august 31st regardless if you apply. But maybe your right.

You do. So if you want you can buy your multi before you put in for permits and apply in different weapon categories. But if you are like me I bought my deer tag before multi were drawn so I declared rifle since those will be the only special permits for deer I will be putting in for. Like said before if I don't draw and quality deer permits then I will turn in my modern tag for a multi tag

grundy53 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 17, 2015, 11:04:14 AM »

Can you turn it in after you have put in for permits? I know you can't switch weapon choice after. I.E put in for rifle permits then switch to archery if not drawn. Not sure if that applies to the multi season tag or not.

emac · « **Reply #10 on:** April 17, 2015, 11:10:34 AM »

No you cant. If you put in for rifle. You are stuck with rifle unless you have the option to buy a multi. But I think if you buy a rifle tag and don't put in for any special permits you can change it up until Aug 31

splitshot · « **Reply #11 on:** April 17, 2015, 11:32:02 AM »

you should have to buy the multitag in may. that way the redraw winners can apply for special permits. aug 31 is a long time to make up your mind. ps. I am whining cuz I never drew the multi- and am waiting for the redraw which is 4 months away. mike w

kirkl · « **Reply #12 on:** April 17, 2015, 12:12:08 PM »

I do the same thing for deer. I have 19 points and if I don't draw my quality tag I'll get the MS permit but if I get a quality permit I'm not buying MS tag. Whoops, that's
For deer, I'd buy the elk MS permit first so I could apply for ML and
Archery tags.

NachoNasty · « **Reply #13 on:** April 17, 2015, 03:15:24 PM »

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I planned on only putting in for only quality Westside rifle hunts and don't want to have to fork out the $180 if I happen to get drawn. This state already rapes you enough for hunting fees.

bobcat · « **Reply #14 on:** April 17, 2015, 04:34:09 PM »

Why do you all keep saying the multi-season tag has to be purchased by the end of August? The deadline is July 31st this year. Unsold tags go up for sale after that, first come first serve.

splitshot · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2015, 04:42:04 PM »

sorry I thought it was end of aug. wish it was much earlier so we could apply for draws. that is 3 months plus. don't understand. if only I had drawn the first time you guys would not have to listen to me whine.
bobcat, how do they do the first come deal and where? mike w

Because that is what is in the 2014 regulations:

"If selected, multi-season tags will be available to purchase any time prior to September 1."

...and that is what is also in the WAC:

http://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=232-28-294

(b) Successful applicants will be allowed to purchase their permit at any time prior to September 1st.

They indicate that in 2016 the deadline is prior to August 1.

Weird. Well I guess I misinterpreted the change this year.

Bob33 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2015, 04:51:36 PM »

If they changed it effective this year, it would be "mid stream" since September 1 was the published and legal deadline when people applied this year.

I'm convinced bobcat works at wdfw and advocates for them here to keep public appearance positive.

not really just seems that way once in awhile.

An awful lot of false information is posted on Hunt WA, and I personally appreciate people that challenge it. Sometimes they may be wrong.

lets change it to Monday so we all can get ready for the season. go buy them and get out of the way cuz we got stuff to do. mike w

bobcat · « **Reply #24 on:** April 17, 2015, 05:36:30 PM »

Advocating?

Not at all. All I'm wondering about is the deadline for buying the multi-season tag. I don't know how that is me trying to make the WDFW look good.

Apparently I have been posting incorrect information. Will multi-season tags be sold over the counter this year? Apparently not, I thought that was the case, but I guess that won't happen until 2016?

And the deadline is still the end of August, not the end of July? I'm glad actually. That gives me more time to decide if I want to buy it or not.

Well, it won't be a draw, they will put the unsold tags up for sale, first come, first serve. But now it's sounding like that won't be an option until next year.

I think it will be 2016 before the change is implemented.

So the new regs are wrong? It says they can sell them if people don't purchase them after drawing them.

No, they are not wrong. They pertain to 2016 multi-season permits.

This thread is a train wreck. I was just kidding bobcat. seems the dates are all mixed up now?

bobcat · « **Reply #34 on:** April 18, 2015, 09:38:01 AM »

No, not a train wreck. This is how we get this stuff figured out. Post some incorrect info, and someone will correct you.

I actually have not had time yet to look at the new reg's. I did download it to my computer but that's as far as I got.

From what Bob33 is saying, it sounds to me like this year will be the same as last year. Buy your multi-season tag by the end of August. And unsold tags will not be sold over the counter.

Bob33 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 18, 2015, 09:59:57 AM »

Last week, the WDFW Game and Fish Commission approved a change to the purchase deadline and allocation of unused multi-season permits. What is not certain is when the changes will be implemented. Since the 2014-2015 multi-season process was already established, indications are that the changes will not occur until the 2015-2016 multi-season process is in effect.

If I were drawn for a 2015 multi-season permit, I wouldn't risk waiting until August 31 although all indications are that the purchase deadline this year is prior to September 1.

bobcat · « **Reply #36 on:** April 21, 2015, 05:08:14 PM »

Just got this in an email from the WDFW. (the deadline to purchase the multi-season tag is July 31)

Quote

Bobcat beat me to it. I was just going to post that I received a letter stating I have until July 31st to purchase my multi season tags. Looks like they are implementing the new rules this year.

Boss .300 winmag · « **Reply #38 on:** April 21, 2015, 08:47:09 PM »

Cool maybe I can snag one after people don't buy them.

oneshot12 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 22, 2015, 12:44:41 PM »

funny I got both the letter and a email telling me the same thing about how long i had to pick up the multi season tag guess they want to be sure to let you know how long you have to pay for it if your going to .

bobcat · « **Reply #40 on:** April 22, 2015, 12:49:54 PM »

It's important for the WDFW to notify people especially since the deadline has always been a month later. There will probably still be lots of people who wait until August to buy it and then find out they can't.

DIYARCHERYJUNKIE · « **Reply #41 on:** April 22, 2015, 01:22:06 PM »

With how tough it was to draw this year I bet most everyone who drew buys it up in time.
