Good luck to all of us.   :tup:

I would be curious to know how many of the "Lucky 128" actually buy the ticket.

The major reason that I have interest in the multi-season tag is to pair the seasons with multiple special draw opportunities.  After early June, there is much less reason to buy the tag.

Does anybody know how many people actually bought the tag last year, after the 2nd offer?

I think they'll send emails to the 128 people before Wednesday

I am honestly worried about drawing and burning my points. Like mentioned above, its ridiculous to take the tag after the special hunts deadline. Maybe theres a way to pass and keep my points if I am one of the 128.

you don’t lose your points on the second drawing.

no, they now go to the next in line of not drawn, they started this last year. IMHO it’s a better way to distribute the tags.

Fingers crossed.  I still like the options.  Westside, eastside, and all weapon seasons.

I always just want it so I can apply for permits on the east side and hunt on the west side when I don't draw, so I won't be buying one at this point.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Well since I have never drawn a MS elk tag and I am pretty sure I am the top points holder in the state for MS elk, I kind of want to buy one if just given the opportunity.  With that being said, I probably will not as I didn't have any fall plans when putting in for the MS tag originally.  My wife now has a moose tag, we both also have Palouse buck tags plus ID deer tags, which means I will probably pass on buying it even if I get the email.  I'd love to hunt all seasons, but we have our hands full already and I'd rather see someone else put the tag to good use as my fall is pretty booked up already.

I doubt there will be a 'round 3' since there is no purchase deadline for the leftovers.

Although that is mighty kind of you to let somebody else "put the tag to good use," the system doesn't work that way.  If you are one of the 128 lucky winners, and if you don't purchase the tag, then it goes to waste.  There is no deadline on purchase.
