Multiseason odds?

[teanawayslayer]

I was drawn for deer with 2 points.

I've drawn the Deer tag twice in 5yrs with 2 points each time, one year I didn't apply.
I've drawn the Elk tag twice in 5yrs, first time with 3pts second time with 2pts

[Digger]

I drew this year for deer with no points.

Bobcat: I think it's funny how last years regs (which supposedly posted this years multiseason tag info), and the news release you posted from February contradict each other. I'm guessing since your news release posting was more recent, that's going to be the reliable source in the matter. But how do they expect us to all be on the same page, when they can't even do it within their department?! I did like it better when I thought I drew one of the 2000 available tags, in contrast to one of the 4000 available tags.

Well When my dad was buying his bear app and purchasing his tags he bought a multi season app because he dont know what hes doing! Lol we own no ML or bow...but I put him in for s & giggles. He drew. So thats one tag that wont be purchased!

So on another post I'm sure a few of you were following, "sakoshooter" received a response from WDFW that among other things had stated there were 8000 applicants for both deer and elk. Mystery solved!

I drew for deer last year with 2 points and drew again this year wih 0. I hope I saved some luck for a special elk tag.

I drew in 2009 and again this yr.

Last year my son drew multiseason deer.  In late June or July he got a letter from WDFW saying that there were still permits available.  He decided he didn't want to spend the extra time and effort to learn a completely new method (archery or ML) so he didn't buy the tag. Fact is that they overdraw because not everyone will buy one.  I have one this year and really have to examine if I want to drop $180 just to be able to have another week or two to hunt.  Different story for elk but I get deer in my yard most of the year and got my deer last year 100 yards from my gate.  Only reason I applied is because I'm thinking of trying for muleys.

was drawn for deer with 3 pts and elk with 4 pts.

its too bad that so many extra people enter the multi-season and special permit drawings with no intention or means of actually purchasing the tag if they draw.. Especially since they don't re-draw or offer a second chance purchase for unclaimed tags to the people who'd actually be interested.


but maybe i'm just biased because i didn't draw anything yet this year

I wish they could figure out a way to get the unused tags out to people who applied that actually want them.  I did not draw but was looking forward to trying my hand at all three methods.  I did not have any points though.

They planned on not selling all of them. That's why they drew 4000 people for the multi-season deer, and the quota is actually only 2000. But of course this year they're so hard up for money that they are not going to stop sales when/if they hit 2000. They will just go ahead and go over the quota. That's right- who cares if the deer are wiped out from the excessive pressure. The WDFW needs the MONEY!
