Purchasing Multi Season Permit?

[grundy53]

So I keep hearing of people purchasing their permit but when go to buy it online it isn't one of my options. Anyone else having this problem? And yes it said I was drawn for deer.

It was on mine right after I checked the drawing the day they came out. maybe they lied to you

Are you looking at 2011 licenses? Sometimes you have to select the year- I'm not sure but it might still be defaulting to 2010.

2011. I guess I better call them Monday.

Hey grundy I think I might have figured it out. . .

Did you already purchase your deer tag and get it sent to you? If so, you have to turn it back in before they'll sell you your permit.

Good call Alan. I bet that's it. They won't let you buy it until they get the other one back.

I just went and checked the multiseason elk tag and paid for it like I was buying my license.  I had not declared a tag for deer or elk though.  Now I have to decide if I want to buy the multi season deer as well.

That would be it. I bought my deer tag jan 3rd. They must have changed it. Before they just sent me a letter after I got the multi season tag and asked me to send back my regular tag. oh well guess I will send it in tomorrow. tleast I don't have to worry about it being first come first serve. Thanks Alan.

It's funny, After hunting Rifle my whole life I decided to finally take the plunge and archery hunt for deer... go figure I get drawn for the multi season permit.
