Will the unclaimed multi season tags go OTC after August 1st?? Looks like for 2016 that will be the case. What about this year??Yes they will in 2015.

The state should auction the elk multi seasons left over Id pay 800 for a multiseason elk tag if I could get one ever yr state could make some serious coin cause most people I know would do the sameno way in hell i wouod pay 800 for a multiseason elk tag! I would go to idaho and hunt elk and deer for just over that price. Crazy to pay 800 on top of 100+ app fees!

I would guess that you would not lose your points for purchasing a surplus tag. Whoever didn't buy it should still lose theirs. I don't see any reason you should forfeit your points for buying a leftover tag. :twocents:

It's in the regs on the multi-season permit page. In color to indicate the change.
If you mean page 8, that is talking about 2016, I have not yet found anything concerning this years tags.

Post by: Miles on April 27, 2015, 05:21:44 AM
I talked to WDFW on Thursday, they said September 1st and the remaining permits would only be available to the ones that applied for the permits.
I don't follow this stuff too closely, but why the heck would there be leftovers if people who applied weren't drawn? Now they are offering the "leftovers" to those who applied? WTF?
Is it because individuals who drew the tag aren't purchasing them and there's a cutoff date to purchase?

A primary advantage of multi-season permits is the opportunity to apply for special permits in multiple areas and hunting methods. For example, a Western archery elk hunter could apply for muzzleloader permits in Eastern Washington. By not having the multi-season permit during the April – May application period, that advantage and thus a significant value of the permit is lost. I would pay $180 for an elk multi-season permit in April, but not in August.
:yeah: for deer also.

Post by: Dhoey07 on April 28, 2015, 07:37:24 AM
I would still buy the multi-season elk tag if it were after the application period for special permits. My primary reason for wanting that tag is so that I don't have to decide between the archery and the muzzleloader seasons, but can hunt both. Having the option of applying for east side permits is far from a guarantee that you will draw one anyway. So I certainly would not pay $180 if my only reason for doing was so I could apply for east side permits.
I don't give two rips about permits :twocents: I'm guessing that there will be at least 1 person, for whatever reason, doesn't buy their multi season elk tag, and I'll be there to scoop it up :chuckle:
Got a baby due oct 9th, so I want the option to hunt modern if he decides to come early and ruin my archery season :chuckle:

Yes that's exactly why, Miles. Some people don't pay attention and realize it's $140 or whatever it is. Some people wait to see if they draw a special permit before buying, some people forget, etc.You have to choose your weapon of choice for your tag to even apply for a permit. In order to put in for muzzle and other tags you have to have purchased your multi tag.
Post by: Chesapeake on May 29, 2015, 11:26:19 PM
I actually like the setup. Let's you wait to drop the money till all the draw results are out, or you can pony up and put in for multiple weapon draw choices if you want.
Same with second deer tags. You can wait a bit till the draw results are out before you decide to purchase.

$180 for Elk-yes. $180 for deer- hell no, i barely need 3 days. Would be nice if your headed for a boone and crocket or pope and young buck. For $95.50 you can buy deer,bear,elk,cougar and still have $84.50 left over for gas,ammo,etc. $180 too much for a deer in my opinion.Deer isn't $180.

Oh, i thought it was $180 for the multi season tag?? :dunno: Even if its $120-$140 still too much $. Some of us don't need multiple seasons to get a deer down, so i can't justify paying an outrageous price for that tag. Ive hunted deer for 20 years in Washington, and have gotten all 20 deer tags filled. Deer are not hard to hunt, but they sure are a blast and good eating to boot.$180 for Elk-yes. $180 for deer- hell no, i barely need 3 days.

I don't look at it as needing that long to get one. I look at it as getting to be more selective and also I get to enjoy hunting with all of the weapon choices. I enjoy bow hunting, muzzleloader hunting and rifle hunting. I hate having to choose just one. I like having a three month season instead of a three week season.Oh, i thought it was $180 for the multi season tag?? :dunno: Even if its $120-$140 still too much $.

They are going to let everyone know when it will be through a mass email after they figure out how many permits are left. She told me to make sure I have my email account updated on my WDFW information so make sure it's updatedMaybe someone could take out a news paper add so everyone will know....... :chuckle:

Hey trophy...if people have questions why do you care if someone who actually knows helps :dunno:? There going to find out anyways, and only guys who bought and submitted the application for the permit can buy them over the counter that's another thing she said.trust me I know, I'm not butt hurt for you wanting to help. I just don't know why guys like to advertise something like this where there will be less than, well, very few elk permits. I love helping out but when the competition is this tough, I'd rather just let the date come and go, hopefully giving me a slightly better chance. No biggie, I hope you get your tag. :tup:

Trophy were you drawn for White River? I thought I saw you were, I have a bad ass spot up around 5600 ft it's only 2 miles in I've seen nice Bulls this year Id like to show someone who has the permitmy wife drew one of the rifle rut tags!! Good for sept 28th to October 2nd in the white, should be a blast! I have a camera out and plan on one more at least. Been out scouting a few times but only cows and calves so far, few little bulls on the camera. I know the unit pretty well but if you want to talk, I'll listen!!!

So if they do another draw for people to get the multi season will they take your points? I don't think you should have to use them because you are losing out on the opportunity to apply for special permits. It should just be like a over the counter tag at that point.

Post by: lamrith on July 31, 2015, 10:29:07 AM
Just got off the phone with WDFW. Here is what he told me. When the get back to work on Monday they are going to assess what tags are left over then they will notify those that have applied and did not get drawn on how and where to go to buy them on a first come first serve bases. So he figures buy the end of next week they will have something out to all of those that weren't drawn. So don't go looking for them on sale tonight at 12:01So maybe 12:02?
Thanks for the update Russ!

Probably just going to have to wait in line and buy one of the 2900 deer tags still left by the time I get my shot at them. If I knew for sure there would still be deer tags on the 11th I would just wait for the elk chaos to die down and then go get the deer permit.

I am sure the lines are going to be long with guys trying to get the elk permits. Would be nice if there were two lines one for elk and one for deer.:yeah:

honestly barring some system crash I am betting the elk will be gone by 1pm. WDFW dealers are at every wallmart, and big sport store, have to be a few hundred of them in the state. I might head to my local one @ lunch but not holding my breath at all, just grab a deer if the line is not bad.

I guess my buddy really owes me. The store I was at started handing out numbers at 11:30. I had 1 and he had 3. He wanted elk and I wanted deer so I traded him. He got his elk a guy 30 seconds behind on the other computer didn't.good for you on swapping places! That makes total sense to let the elk tag go first, I'd say he owes you a pitcher of beer!!
I would bet the deer tags sold out as well? The store owner told me he thought there were about 1200 places that sell licenses in the state. So that would be less than 3 tags per dealer. The place I was at sold at least 10 in the time I was in there....

They should have had a second drawing with the applicants from the unsuccessful pool before putting these up for grabs.
You should have like a week to buy, and if you don't then redraw that way the guys that buy them can still put in for different permits. Would make it more worth it, but I did buy mine anyways at noon...

I asked 2 different stores yesterday, and they both said sold out (did not look at the screen, just told me)Not uncommon for counter folks to be clueless, they were probably going off what they heard for Elk being all gone.. Have someone enter your information and check.
Just an FYI they are only available to those that applied for them originally...

I'll just go back and say I want my deer tag, and look it up

Son and I both bought our MS deer tags today. From the store the guy told me they were sold out. (different sales person)
I just said I wanted to get my deer tag, then asked if the multi was there.

Bring your general tag with you if you got one (you have to turn it in)
