Multi Season leftovers

[dilleytech]

Patio front works for me.

Has anyone got refunded yet? Wife picked one up and also got charged 3 times. All 3 of which went through on her cards.

Refund just posted. I didn't request it... so they are on it. Both the tag and conv. Fees refunded today.

Ya wife sent an email yesterday and got the extra two charges removed.

I surrendered mine the day after.  Will they even send the multi season without the original tag being surrendered???  This is my first year surrendering a tag so I was under the impression you had to before they sent the other. 

We went to Sportsman's Warehouse and the gal at the counter had to call WDFW to advise it was being surrendered.  WDFW took the document number and said the new tag would be showing up in the next 5 to 7 business days.

Worst case scenario....I have to purchase a replacement, so I felt comfortable surrendering it right away.

Could you have purchased a “replacement” for the MS right then, and got your MS tag in hand that day?

Surplus multi-season tag purchasers being charged multiple times

WDFW statement Aug. 25, 2025

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is aware that some customers were charged multiple times for multi-season deer tags they purchased during the recent surplus tag sale on August 21. WDFW is working to address this issue as quickly as possible and issue needed refunds. WDFW will also be working with the point of sale vendor to understand what caused this error and how to keep it from happening again. We appreciate your patience.

This error did not impact the number of multi-season deer tags issued on August 21. All 2,693 surplus multi-season deer tags were sold August 21 and remain sold out.

I was hoping so….but was not an option.  I’m sure I could have purchased a replacement multi season and paid the additional cost, but I’m not in a hurry.  We will see if t shows up in the mail next week.  I won’t get worried about iit till then.

Just got of the phone with Fish & Wildlife. They are printing and sending out the multi season deer tags even though you may not have sent or turned in your tag yet. This is in a effort to get tags to people before archery season. You still have a requirement to turn in your single season deer tag. So, hopefully the tags will arrive before Saturday, season starts Monday. There is only 2,000 plus to process. Faith!

I dropped my tag off at a dealer today and the fella just stuffed my tag in a big envelope. I asked if he needed to call it in and if I got some sort of receipt, he said no, they just mail off the envelope once a month or so - No on the receipt. if I would have had an archery tag as my original I think I would have held on to it until I had the MS tag in my hand.

Yep. Thats what I did.  It was $8 IIRC.  Cheap insurance.  The wdfw employee signed and labeled my modern tag 'surendered' and said i should keep it, in case I did not recieve the MS in the mail. Big red flag, so I said ill pay the 8 for a dupe and walked with my tag.
