HAHA WDFW - Multi-season Deer Permits - 2000 Remaining

[luvmystang67]

Suckers... I just got an e-mail talking about how they (WDFW) have 2000 multiseason permits remaining that anyone can go and purchase.

I'm not buying one this year.  I think it would be hilarious if they didn't sell out.  They would have to offer over the counter then and we wouldn't have to worry about their stupid revenue generating draw anymore.

It's very unusual for the deer to sell out.

But seems no deadline then this year.  So maybe after early archery has passed, the bow guys that were close but didn't connect will buy for early muzz, and so forth--after late modern guys could get one and try a few more weeks with a muzzy.  Might actually have a chance to sell out.

Why do you think they'd go over the counter if they don't sell out?

I suspect it will stay just the way it is.

I got the same email, but I will be pissed off if an archery guy is trying to fill his deer tag messes up my elk hunt now that the season is the same.   So what was the explanation behind all the non draws for the permit?

archery elk and deer have overlapped for quite some time

So, do I get my application money back since people that never bought an application can now buy one Otc basically at a discount?

But muzzy deer and elk didn't, it used to be a week earlier.

I didn't see where people that didn't apply can purchase one?

I got the same email. I wonder what they mean by limited time?

I received the same email and called WDFW. The email went out to individuals that put in for it. I have my archery tag and wasn't drawn for the multi season and I am debating on whether or not to get it. If you weren't drawn you won't lose your points if you buy now... which makes me feel this is not fair to the guys who got drawn and lost their points. Seems a few thousand guys could have waited and saved points... I might purchase the tag just to be able to fill one this year.  Or, I will trade a $180 in labor for a good archery hunting place

Could get rather spendy if you roll into their game . If a guy buys all his tags and then buys a multi tag and then buys a discover pass and the buys a access permit from Weyerhaeuser and then he doesn't kill anything , that could be catastrophically a pocket burner ...hahaha

[Bango skank]

8500 deer permits were available, and it ended up being something like 50% draw odds this year right??  So roughly 17000 applicants.  So the 2000 leftover were all from people who drew, but didnt want it.  Ridiculous.  I really wish people would stop applying for things they wont buy, or wont use, just so they can feel like they won something. 

[elkoholic]

I applied but did not receive an e-mail, I checked to see if it was available to purchase but it was not. I wouldn't buy one at this point as I want to use it to apply for special permits.

If you weren't drawn you won't lose your points if you buy now... which makes me feel this is not fair to the guys who got drawn and lost their points.

The individuals who were drawn (and lost their points) had the opportunity to apply for special permits in all three hunting method categories in the May drawing. If you buy now you won't get that benefit.
