Multi Season permit

[splitshot]

  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

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.

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:

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

What do the 2015 reg's say?

What do the 2015 reg's say?

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

[bobcat]

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

[Bob33]

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]

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.

  I thought there would be a redraw for people who were not successful.  it would be for the multitags not purchased.  mike w

There will be in 2016.

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.
