Title: San Juan and other islands second deer tags, modern
Post by: Bob33 on November 18, 2015, 05:53:48 PM: Hope you permit holders know that your permit is not valid this weekend during the late season.

Also Vashon, Camano, and Whidbey.

I didn't buy one, but maybe I will next year!

I didn't realize the dates were different than the general, and late seasons until I opened the permit 2 weeks ago. (Also not valid on Halloween) My first thought is that wdfw changed the dates to increase the sales if the 2nd tags.

Glad I quit buying those overpriced things.

Its a good thing I looked at dads card tonight and noticed it was not good for this late season. The permit second doe was good last weekend not this weekend. Im sure a few tickets will be written if they are waiting on the Ferry checking folks Sunday. I called Mill Creek and the gal said dates are correct.

Almost unbelievable that they would make the second deer tag have its own late season (especially with no indication that it was a change), but then again it is WDFW. I feel sorry for all of you that had that $$ and opportunity wasted by our illustrious wildlife dept. :bash:
