Dear Mr. Voigt,
Thank you for contacting the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
We are not sure where you got that 50% amount. For the multi-season deer, there are 8500 permits. In both 2014 and 2015, there were more people that put in for the permit than we had permits available. Due to this, not everyone who put in was selected. In 2013, we had less than the 8500 people put in for the multi-season permit and thus, everyone who put in was drawn.
The number of tags has not changed.
If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to contact us again.
Sincerely,
Wildlife Program Customer Service

From: Mike: On a website site I visit I noticed the number of hunters selected in the drawing was running less than 50%. Did something change this year? Were there less tags or more applicants?
Thank You

There were 15000 deer applicants this year :yike:
Well if that's true, we can all expect the price to jack back up next year.

I can't believ you guys had to actually had to call/email fish and game to figure out why you didn't draw a tag. Is it really that hard to comprehend? Talk about something continually on the internet about being a sure and wonderful thing and you can garantee at some point it will no longer be that way. The high hunt is a great example. God work once again internet
Haha! So very true. :chuckle:

They will be selling a lot more multi season deer tags now so I don't see them increasing the number, or the price. With the unsold tags now going back up for sale August 1st, it's likely all 8,500 will be sold. In the past the WDFW said they really didn't want to issue that many tags, but drew 8,500 people, knowing that a high percentage of those drawn would not purchase the tag.I agree. I was just stating IF they did anything it would be raise the amount of tags. I think that would make them more money than raising the price.

I would like to see harvest statistics of multi season applicants, how many days they hunted, which season they were successful in and whether they hunted more than one weapon season to get their animal.Find some of that here: http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/harvest/2014/deer_general.html

It says in the regs online that the leftovers go on sale.
"at the discretion of the department". Does not mean they HAVE to sell them, just that they can..
Really hoping they do!

My copy of the regs don't say that. It says " ...they may be sold to non-selected applicants....."
That says to me you must have applied to be qualified to purchase leftovers.
But yeah, it doesn't say "they HAVE to sell them".
