2nd deer tag - Better buy them before the 1st.

[h2ofowlr]

My second deer tag cost me $26.  It sounds like they will be going to over $60 each starting Sept. 1st.

Yes, I think someone posted that they would be $66.

Okay...silly question I'm sure...
I am trying to purchase my second deer tag. My options are to choose my method of hunting, archery..etc.
But, I also have the multi season tag.
Do I still have to choose my method with the second deer? I'm assuming yes 

[bobcat]

I'm thinking you have to pick your method, and that 2nd tag will only be valid for the one you choose. The multi-season tag can be used for all methods but I think with the 2nd tag you are only allowed to use the one method that you choose.

[jager]

Yep...thats what I was thinking.....Dangit!

Thanks.

[bobcat]

Well, at least you get to choose. If you didn't have the multi-season tag, you wouldn't have a choice. Your 2nd tag would be the same method as your regular general season tag.

[jager]

Huh, I did not know that....didn't really think about it either 
Well... first, and more than likely last time I put in for the second deer tag.

I was thinking about this again this morning, and my last post isn't very accurate. Now that you have already drawn the permit, you don't get to choose the method. The 2nd deer permits specify which tag is required. So your permit is a modern firearm, muzzleloader, or archery permit, and THAT is the tag you need to have to go with it.

But, it is true that having the multi-season tag did allow you to apply for any of the 2nd deer permits, regardless of which tag they required.

I guess I better buy my second tag tonight.

ya, this will be my first and last yr buying second deer, at 66 bucks next yr thats so much money

Its kind of unclear looking at the new rates, but it doesn't show how much specifically the second deer tag is.  I DONT think it'll be 66 dollars.  Most things up there increased about 10%.  I'd expect it to be about 2-3 dollars more.  The 66 is if you bundle the deer only tag/license with the small game license.  Its not THAT big of a deal, just expect to pay 10% more than today.

that's kinda what I was thinking too.

Someone called and they were told it was $66. That was the cost of the 2nd deer tag, after having already purchased the first deer license and all. At least that is my understanding of it. And I did see several months ago that the proposed new fee was to be somewhere around $60 or $70.
 
But I'm guessing we will find out for sure here in a few days, from someone who purchased their 2nd tag after the price increase (which would be tomorrow).
 
I am betting they will be doing a little of this-

I wish I was selected so I could complain about the price of a second tag Good luck guys on filling your second tag

[luvmystang67]

I don't think the proposed fee list is written correctly, the new one adds the price of a small game license to the tag on the higher price listed.  But you can get a idea from this.

Old: Deer License= $42.30 (in the regs it says $45.20) , Second Deer Permit $26.00 in the 2011 regs

New (tomorrow): $42.90, second deer permit not listed... but based on what has been done before I dont expect it'll change very much.
