Last year WDFW sent out emails to those who were Not Selected in either category of multi season. The email lined out date and time of availability. I have not seen the email yet...

Sounds like it will be on or around the 10th for the few that might be available.  Was told today notice will go out to applicants.

I'm leaving on a business trip til the 7th so I sure hope it isn't til the 10th

Did all the left overs already sell out?

I called WDFW this afternoon hoping to get to the bottom of this.  The lady I spoke with told me she was informed this morning that there has yet to be a decision on the leftover multi season tags.  The advice she was told to give to folks like us wondering was to keep checking their website for updates and make sure you have your email entered in online with your WILD ID account.  There should be a decision by the end of the week.

Thanks for the update!

Most likely a marketing strategy. People want what they can't have.

They're just putting a feeler out to see if it's worth their time to offer them OTC.

I don't think that's it.  They make $160ish bucks for each MS tag they sell - and they have little/no time invested to put them out there for sale.  IMO They will sell every one of those tags if they possibly can; money is money and people are willing to buy the tags.  The only way I see them not being available is if there are ten (or very few) available, in which case, they'd create negative feelings in their patrons by raising hopes for available tags, then getting sold out in the first 20 seconds.

What really raises my eyebrows about the whole thing is that I cannot figure out how the applicants for this tag went from 8,500 two years ago (and before) to 13,000 plus for the last two years.  It makes little sense when hunter numbers keep declining and harvest rates have remained similar from year to year.

The number of applicants will keep growing every year. The odds for getting drawn are pretty good, and majority of deer hunters would like longer season and more opportunities to get out and hunt. With our busy lifes, work and family, couple extra hunting weekends would not hurt.
