Multi season $

[Team Baze]

Well I was one of the lucky 4000 that got drawn for the multi season permit and was really excited at first, then I recieved my letter from the department of fish and wildlife saying that if I wanted to purchase my tag it would cost $180  . My delima is that I would only do the Modern rifle and Muzzle loader. But what doesn't make since to me is that the price for a regular deer tag is $45.20 so X that by 3 ( archery, muzzle loader and modern rifle)= $135.60, price of Multi season $180 so it cost an extra $45 plus your $6 I guess another way for the state to make money

That's been the big complaint from many over the past few years..  I guess it does state in the hunting regs what the cost of the tag is upon being drawn as a successful applicant, so there was a heads up.. Just my 

I wish I would have been drawn for the dang tag  - so congrats on being selected!

It was plenty clear what the price would be for the m/s permit ahead of time. I'm surprised that it's a surprise after the fact. No offense, but I think some people quit reading too early and didn't see the price before they applied. If you saw the price ahead of time would you have applied?

 Yeah, I got drawn and then sniveled on here about the price and what you really get for it (EHHMMM, RIP OFF) and I got knocked down to size by a guy.

 I agree with you! What are you getting for the money? You get to hunt three weapon types so that does not add up. You do not get an extra deer or two.

 In my opinion, the state should just offer that deal to everyone. They would make some extra cash to steal from fish and wildlife and put into some liberal based project. They would not lose anything out of it. It is win-win.

 With all that being said, I feel like I am leaning towards buying the $180 tag anyway. I have been archery hunting for a record book buck with no luck but have been chasing a big one around for a few years. I could really target that buck having all those seasons and time to do so.

What price would you put on that?

I got drawn as well and already bought my tag. It's going to be interesting to see if I can recover from a shoulder injury in time to archery hunt  . Better or not, I gladly paid the $180 so either way I'll be hunting

It's been priced practically the same since they first started issuing multi-season permits five or six years ago. There really is no excuse for not knowing the cost. And if you do get surprised by the high cost when you get your letter in the mail, just don't buy it. You're only out $6.50. This is why they drew 4000 names and only expect to sell 2000 permits (for deer).

I would have gladly paid the $180 if I had drawn. I now have $500 into a bow that I can't use.

There's alot more people living under rocks these days than you thank.

What's with people ripping in to those who drew the multiseason tag and either didn't know the cost or think it's a ripoff? There are plenty of reasons it could have been overlooked. 

If someone drew the tag and isn't buying it because it cost too much that is their choice. Sure there are plenty of people who would of loved to have the tag, but there are also people every year who draw coveted special permits and shoot the first legal animal they see; which is a whole lot more annoying and could be legitimately considered a waste of a permit/tag by those who would have at least attempted to do that tag justice.

I usually put in but because of the price I figured for what you get out of it .not worth it.

[dupedc]

I got drawn for it last year.  It was awesome.  Just to have the chance to get out know that you have the whole season to hunt was worth the price of admission for me.

I stopped putting in for multi-season deer but kept up the multiseason elk.

I haven't seen anybody ripping into anybody in this thread. Maybe you're talking about some of the other threads? As I said, people not buying them is just what the WDFW planned for. They doubled the number of names drawn for deer just to account for the fact that 50% of the people who have historically drawn the multi-season deer permit, have not purchased it.

Heck, the first year they had the multi-season permit, I drew both deer and elk, and didn't buy either one.

I'm happy not enough people do their research and fully read the reg's. Lot less competition in the woods for those of us that know what we're getting in to. Imagine if all 4000 draws for deer multiseason actually purchased and hunted the seasons with us!
