I saw it under avail tags i can purchase. What is the Damage Deer Tag?
-
It's a tag you can buy if you can find a farmer that has damage complaints lodged with the state and will let you on his property. It is being hotly debated within the dept currently.
-
Got it thanks. So it would be considered a second deer tag?
-
Um, yes and that is part of the debate, because the regs say that unless you draw a 2nd deer permit you can only harvest one deer. The other issue is that it basically opens a doe season year round and some are concerned what it will do to total numbers.

If i draw a seond deer tag which i put in for, would i be able to get that tag as well and it would be three deer either way, all i have to do is find someone who has deer destroying thier property
-
My understanding is that it has to be someone that has an approved claim with the state. Then you have to hope that they will give permission. I am not sure about the 2nd deer tag in combination with, I can ask.

You can call the WSDFW office in Olympia and get a list of names, whom are receiving approved damage claims. Previous years you could get the list several months in advance from the Land Access Manager. I called last year, and they told me the list was being held for release until late September, early October.
