That's correct. If you apply you will draw- guaranteed. Then you can wait until August to decide if you want to buy it.:yeah: last year they had 8000 deer multi-season permits and only 6700 applied. That's not an exact number but it was near 6700 roughly.

I thought that I read somewhere that there are usually more multi season deer tags than people apply for? Anyone know? I've never applied and this is my first year and kinda hoping to get one. I know the elk chances are slim with zero points so...Thanks for any info.Yeah, they force you to pay for a application to pay for a guaranteed $180 tag. :o

$147.10 I think was the point. If more tags that applicants why not just have hunters walk up to the counter and pay $145.00 on a first come first serve multi-season deer tag. Save the department the cost and headaches of running a draw.
How much do you think it costs this state to run the draw and answer all the phone calls of guys wanting to know why their entry hasn't posted in the back door yet when they haven't yet chosen single or group application? I think it would probably make more money as a first come first serve purchase format. :dunno:

Less than the extra $45k it generates.

And that really is the determining factor isn't it!!!

Did you notice I mentioned $145 as a first come first serve option instead of $140K? In that case we are only talking about $14K difference in generated income. This is the gooberment. I expect they pay 14K just to replenish the toilet paper rolls each morning.
Furthermore, I would guess they would sell more of the 8,000 tags than they do now. They would only need to sell 322 more tags at $140 to exceed that $45K difference - 311 at $145. Maybe/Maybe not...but something to think about.

One thing to consider. I believe you have to have paid for the MS before you apply for special permits.Yes but it's only $140 this year. :tup:I thought that I read somewhere that there are usually more multi season deer tags than people apply for?

That is one reason elk multiseason are so coveted. You can apply for permits in both EWa and WWa.

That is something that I didn't know. Let me restate this, to make sure I got it right. (I have never played the quality tag game, so I really don't know how the system works. Also, I don't have any banked points for antlered elk, so this is just a theoretical exercise for me but it might help others.)
Let's say I want to apply for some great opportunity for antlered elk, in both Eastern and Western Washington. Are you saying that I can apply for both sides of the state only if I already have been awarded the multiple season tag, AND I have already purchased it?

yes, if you purchase the tag you can apply for special permits on E and W side of state as well as hunt the general seasons on E and W side.

Many multiseason permit holders hunt mostly EWa, but like to apply for Toutle and Margaret.yeah lots hunt west and apply for east. If drawn for east they can hunt a bull and not spikes, if not selected then they hunt general on west where they can still go after bulls.
I am sure the opposite is true too.
