Free: Contests & Raffles.
My multiseason deer application status was just changed from "not selected" to "selected". Yay for me. I haven't received any email yet (and I did check my spam folder). What's the process now? There's no way to buy it online. Do I have to go to a vendor in person and turn in my existing tag? This process (if there is one) is crazy.
Approximately half of the tags were issued on the 1st leftover drawing. So if this trend continues I would say there will be about 600-700 tags leftover after the second round. Maybe more since the archery season will have already started at that point and people will have made other plans. 10 days to buy your tag is 5 days too long in my opinion. This process is painfully slow and obviously there was little thought put into this with the limited time left before the opener. Par for the course when it comes to dealing with WDFW.
