What happens to un purchased 2nd deer tags?
« on: June 22, 2011, 01:26:39 PM »
If someone who is drawn for a second deer tag, but chooses not to purchase it by the deadline, do they offer the tags to the next in line that didn't get drawn like Multi season tags? Seems to me they should.

Well I guess I'm not sure about that either. Someone told me there was but I don't consider them a good source. I can't find anything in the regs about it.

 :yeah:

I think that you essentially have until the last day of the designated second deer hunt to purchase the license/tag.
Live your life in such a way that if someone were to speak poorly of you, nobody would believe them.

There is no deadline to buy the second tag. If unsought or unfilled it doesn't matter. Just like any other unused permit.
Same as guys who draw a quality and antlerless. One will go unused.

You confused me. :dunno: the tags will not go to another person if not purchased. Maybe I didn't use the right words.

I think he was hoping the tags would go back up for sale and he could purchase one over the counter.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I think you are right,  A few years ago though they would run a second or ever third drawing to try and sell all the permits, but they have stopped doing that now and just issue more permits to start with.

I think it's been said but there's no deadline for purchasing the 2nd deer tags. I put in for a 2nd deer tag hunt, and if drawn, I was just going to wait until I used my general season tag on a buck, and then buy the 2nd tag. If I didn't use my first tag I wasn't going to spend money on the 2nd tag. But I wasn't drawn so that idea went out the window.

If a person draws a quality and antlerless permit for the same species, one won't necessarily go unused. You can participate in both hunts, just can't harvest an animal in both.

Yeah, and I agree, and I wish it wasn't possible to draw more than one permit per species.
