2015 multi season left over tags OTC after August 1st??

[Blacktail Sniper]

It's in the regs on the multi-season permit page. In color to indicate the change.

If you mean page 8, that is talking about 2016, I have not yet found anything concerning this years tags.

That's what caused my initial confusion, 2015 wasn't mentioned anywhere that I could find.

Page 8 I wonder if the 2016 is a typo

I talked to WDFW on Thursday, they said September 1st and the remaining permits would only be available to the ones that applied for the permits.

Your correct, no mention in last years apps. I read it somewhere......

Now I assume if you purchase an unsold tag you don't lose points?

That's an interesting question. I assume you would lose the points.

I don't see why you would lose them since you didn't draw the tag.

I don't follow this stuff too closely, but why the heck would there be leftovers if people who applied weren't drawn?   Now they are offering the "leftovers" to those who applied?  WTF?

Is it because individuals who drew the tag aren't purchasing them and there's a cutoff date to purchase?

[jackelope]

Yes that's exactly why, Miles. Some people don't pay attention and realize it's $140 or whatever it is. Some people wait to see if they draw a special permit before buying, some people forget, etc.

Let's not bring anymore attention to this. I am hoping to buy one of the leftovers.

A primary advantage of multi-season permits is the opportunity to apply for special permits in multiple areas and hunting methods. For example, a Western archery elk hunter could apply for muzzleloader permits in Eastern Washington. By not having the multi-season permit during the April – May application period, that advantage and thus a significant value of the permit is lost. I would pay $180 for an elk multi-season permit in April, but not in August.

  for deer also.

I would still buy the multi-season elk tag if it were after the application period for special permits. My primary reason for wanting that tag is so that I don't have to decide between the archery and the muzzleloader seasons, but can hunt both. Having the option of applying for east side permits is far from a guarantee that you will draw one anyway. So I certainly would not pay $180 if my only reason for doing was so I could apply for east side permits.

I don't give two rips about permits  I'm guessing that there will be at least 1 person, for whatever reason, doesn't buy their multi season elk tag, and I'll be there to scoop it up 

Got a baby due oct 9th, so I want the option to hunt modern if he decides to come early and ruin my archery season 

[Odell]

I probably won't buy my multi-deer. Just got accepted into a masters program and won't have time to take advantage.

That guy will be so upset that his plan to "Stick It To The Man" was just a waste of money

[Turner89]

There will probably be tags that the bunny huggers don't buy also.
 I hope I can pick up a deer tag. I love hunting as much as possible, and they finally have a late archery season in 448.
