I DREW 2nd Deer

[lastmk8]

Cracks me up how the new draw system now makes people pumped about drawing a second deer tag, when a couple years ago they were almost guaranteed if you wanted it.   

Yea, just another money draw for the state.  One day when I'm completely bored out of my mind I'm gonna put all the draw numbers into a spreadsheet and see how much money the state really is dragging off all of us hunters.  I'm guessing it's gonna be a pretty big $$$$.

Yeah, they were guaranteed because most people did not want to lose their points for a doe permit. Now, you can apply and only lose your points in the 2nd deer tag permit category.

drew 2nd muzzy for Green Bluff. Dec 9- through 20 something I think. Yea!

Jollyskwala,
Dec 9-31.  Got the same tag, should be a fun hunt.

Second deer in grayback reg season and a late season muzzy cow tag in windriver.

Sounds like you'll be in the market for a new freezer then.

Better buy your tag before September when the new fee structure goes into effect. Under the new fee structure 2nd deer goes up to $62.00 I believe.

The latest info I saw on that showed that the 2nd deer tag didn't go up at all. But I don't know if that was from an official source.  Is there somewhere we can go to see the new fees?

Naive question on my part (never was drawn for a second deer tag before):  So you have to take another step and purchase a second tag in addition to paying for the permit application?  I had assumed (perhaps incorrectly it seems) that if you applied for a secondary tag and were drawn that they'd just send the tag since you already paid to apply for the permit and had purchased a primary deer tag...

[Woodchuck]

nope, the deal congrats you drew, now give us more money

Greenbluff muzzleloader for me

Damn, that is annoying.

I don't see anything wrong with them charging a fee for a 2nd tag. I sure wouldn't expect a free tag. But I also won't pay $62 if the price does go up. Right now it is $26 and I think that's a fair price, but I won't pay any more.

Have to agree, I would not pay $62 for a Decatur deer, especially a 60 pound doe....

I've heard deer 2nd tags will be $50.  Pretty steep if you ask me.
