Second deer tag???

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Why is second deer a permit for a specific area and not just for a second tag I don't understand???  How does the second deer permit work? I didn't see any second deer areas around me wtf!

[doyourtime89]

They give out second deer tag in the specail permit draw for areas they say have to many or enough to allow for some extra deer (does) to be taken out.  And this year they also are charging over triple as they used to for that tag if you are drawn.  Used to be like $20...now its over $60

This 2nd tag BS came out last year. All the units just had the general special permit system right? you paid your $5.50 for the chance at doe or buck. Well the greedy geniuses at WDFW said hey, we can make more dough if we get rid of most of that and take all the good units and draws, (3/4) of em or more, and lets make the suckers fork over another $24 bucks for a second tag.  Man that really pissed me off. And the jerks didnt even have the decency to increase opportunity for the youngsters. Didnt participate in that charade and wont.

This is bs the way they run there draws.  What happened to just being happy with the cost of the tag if the hunter chose to buy it wtf .  So If I ever draw one of these quality bs drawings I have to pay extra for the hunt wtf???  I can't just buy my deer tag and go to the special permit area on the days it says   I have to pay 60 dollars more to hunt the permit hunt plus the cost I normal liscenes what's the elk special permit cost 600???   WTF !!!!!

Elk and deer you don't pay unless its a second tag

[BOWHUNTER45]

the prices we pay should allow 2 deer anyways  1 BUCK & 1 DOE AND NO WOLVES ...SOUNDS GOOD TO ME !!

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

No kidding!  The multi should come with a second tag for doe. At $182!!!   I hope I draw something besides my very expensive deer tag I'll buy a second deer permit if I can find any area I know on there.

It's been longer than that because I've drawn a 2nd deer tag two years in a row now.  It's mostly a damage control program for areas with high deer concentrations and crop damages and possibly low buck/doe ratios. I think all the second tags are for does. 

I for one appreciate being able to get the extra venison in my freezer.

No wolves?

Man I messed that up ...thinking to fast ...I meant give us 2 tags and do not plant the freakin wolves ....it that better If they want to take out a few more elk and deer then they should be giving us the extra tags not the damn wolves !!

[dblungshot]

I'm pretty sure the price increase was between the drawing results and the actual season last year...?  I waited until just before the 2nd deer season that I drew and was shocked at the register.  It only took me one day to fill my tag but after tag, gas, food, and a free place to stay, my doe was the most expensive venison I've paid for.  I cut and wrapped myself but couldn't imagine what the bill would of come too if I had it done...it's a great hunt if you have kids that want a "gimme" doe (which is a great experience) but if you're a meat hunter I'd stay close to home for it to be less painful out of pocket. 

I'd say it's good to have the option if you don't score during general or if you can afford it (IMO).  I don't think I'll apply for it this year but encourage it if it's right for you.  Good luck!
