I DIDNT........never needed extra time.........that and my extra money went to arizona and wyoming tags.

I didn't cause the price of fuel will dictate how much hunting I will do and the forcast shows that I can only afford to hunt one season and that is it, period...

stupid gas prices !!!

So you guys were drawn and opted not to purchase the special tag? Or you didn't purchase the permit to be drawn?

Both me and my brother were drawn and purchased the Multiseason for deerskies. (filed as individuals)

I guess i couldhave worded it a little different. How many were drawn and did not buy???

MHWASH · « **Reply #8 on:** May 19, 2008, 10:02:48 PM »

I did not apply.

I thought I would be guiding my dad in Idaho this year. Because of the large amount of snow this year he decided not to hunt in Idaho.

I drew, I bought, the wife complained, now I get to hunt more and she will complain more, vicious circle starting early this year!nwhunter

For the first time in my life I'm not doing something due to finance's. I got the the letter that i was selected. Got all excited, after spending sometime budgeting I just don't feel safe spending the extra money for the tag and fuel.

. Oh well, hopefully next time I will have the money. Good luck to who ever gets the tag.

funkster · « **Reply #11 on:** May 20, 2008, 08:44:27 PM »

I just have a few questions,how does the WDFW determine who gets the tag if the selected person does not want it? Why would anyone apply if they are not serious about buying the tag in the first place? That just hurts the chances of the hunter's that really want the tag.

Snowman · « **Reply #12 on:** May 20, 2008, 09:08:30 PM »

I'm with funkster. Why apply if your not going to do it. I really wanted to get drawn as some of buddies did too and we would have bought it. Kinda irratates a guy if you know what I mean.

bowsandhose · « **Reply #13 on:** May 21, 2008, 08:04:05 AM »

i don't think most people put in thinking I'm not buy the tag if i get drawn but life happens i drew deer last but could not justify the cost due to lack of time to deer hunt so i did not buy it. i drew deer and elk this year and bought them both (ouch) and as far as hurting your chances i think the unused multi tags get redrawn.

GoldTip · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2008, 08:23:35 AM »

I never have participated in the multi-season drawing for Washington. Haven't needed the extra season as of yet, and also hunt Idaho, which keeps me plenty busy enough.

bucklucky · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2008, 10:09:45 AM »

Its not about needing the extra season too me just more time to spend in the woods. I put in and got drawn for the elk and purchased it so I can put in for the blues . If I dont get drawn for the blues I can still hunt branched bulls on the west side. Plus I am a taxidermist so I never know when I will get time to hunt so the multi works great for me. Wife got the deer and purchased it too. $500.00 later.......

T-ROY · « **Reply #16 on:** May 21, 2008, 10:40:28 AM »

got drawn for deer and purchased it on the last day. another 200 bucks to the state with that few raffle ticket and permit app's attached.

Opportunist · « **Reply #17 on:** May 21, 2008, 06:08:12 PM »

The WDFW will draw again for any permits that are not purchased. I don't know if it is a complete redraw or if they draw alternates and then they are contacted after the multi-tag purchase deadline.

WDFW Hates ME!!! · « **Reply #18 on:** May 21, 2008, 06:31:12 PM »

I was told that they draw certain number of alternates that are contacted in line with where they drew. So if you were # 501 drawn and 1 of the first 500 didn't buy it then you would be next in line. That was the way it was explained to me from a person on the phone from the game department. Now we all know that not everyone you talk to on the phone has a clue. But that is what they told me.

funkster · « **Reply #19 on:** May 21, 2008, 08:21:10 PM »

I know it is not gonna happen but just for *censored*s and giggles, what do you all think about the idea of an auction? The unpurchased multi season tags go to the highest bidder. It Could raise money to help feed the elk through the winter,might cut back on some of the winter kills. How much would you be willing to pay? To hunt elk with out having to worry about east or west side or to apply for east and west special permits is easy worth a $1000 to me.

actionshooter · « **Reply #20 on:** May 21, 2008, 09:17:07 PM »

I drew the deer and bought. I agree with Bucklucky also, its not about needing the time, just more time in the woods.

only reason i applied....

nwhunter · « **Reply #22 on:** May 21, 2008, 10:47:00 PM »

Funkster, Are you serious a $1000 for a multiseason!! I like the statewide elk tag but the $160 they get is plenty in my opinion. nwhunter

bucklucky · « **Reply #23 on:** May 22, 2008, 07:44:57 AM »

Ditto NWHunter.

funkster · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2008, 08:12:25 AM »

Yeah,I am serious! It comes down to the special permits. If anyone has been drawn for a really good tag, then you know what I am talking about. You get the chance to hunt big bulls that have not been pressured with hardly no other hunter's around. To me that is worth a $1,000 and would give the WDFW more funds to feed the elk,win win situation.But like I said,it will never happen.

Nothing special aboutthe tag. You are still out with thousands of others. Woudl I pay a $1000 for a tag in the BLues for big bull. YES! A chacne to hunt spikes during the archery season with everyone else, then spikes with a muzzel and then spikes during the Yakima frenzy, NO THANKS!

Curly · « **Reply #26 on:** May 23, 2008, 09:21:57 AM »

It's not worth the $160 to me........so I wouldn't pay $1,000 either. If I was retired and had plenty of time to hunt all of the seasons, then the $160 price would be fine.

WDFW Hates ME!!! · « **Reply #27 on:** May 23, 2008, 03:47:32 PM »

Bone i agree, Not worth 1000 to me, but it does give me the opportunity to put in for tags that i wouldn't normaly put in for, i am a west sider. I hunt bulls over here, but if i draw that tag i can put in for peaches ridge and the blues.

This is what I am talking about!

You don't have to be retired to hunt for that long just own a business all the hunting time you could ask for!!!
