7,458 people applied last year for 4000 permits.

This year there are 8,500 permits available.

Odds seem to be pretty good just from last year's numbers.

If 8000 draw,

1.  how many pay the price

2.  How many don't understand the trophy aspect of a multi season tag and pay $180 to shoot the first legal deer they see?

Disgusting revenue grab by the WDFW.  Give *basically* everybody who wants to pay the premium the ability to hunt more days.  There are not more total season days available, so that means they are just cramming more and more people into the same season(s) to source more money.  Heck of an experience.  How many guys do you think will be in the pumpkin patch in the NE corner this November over last November?

*edited to add-
8000 permits at 180 each is $1.44 million.  They take in an extra 1.44 mill just for printing the tags.

Don't forget the $6 per application.  Add another $48K.

Add another $1.50 because the price is actually $181.50.

DoubleJ,
Some people like me put in for and pay for the mutliseason tag just to be able to put in for hunts with a weapon I don't want to hunt with. So when I draw it, I put in for rifle mule deer hunts. I DON'T want to hunt rifle deer general season. I want to muzzleload like I always do if I don't draw a rifle tag. With that said, I didn't shoot the first couple legal bucks I saw last year because they were tiny. So not everybody who buys it thinks of it as a trophy opportunity, though it may be.

I don't think of it as a trophy opportunity at all.  I think of it as a way to let me basically hunt for four months

It would be somewhat of a "trophy" tag for me. (if I choose to buy it)

If I'm hunting early archery season and see a spike, I'm not going to shoot it with a $225 tag.

With a $43 tag, I might consider it.

I wouldn't shoot a spike on a free tag.
