Title: Anyone recieve this letter?!
Post by: Duckslayer89 on December 12, 2015, 04:15:08 PM: So I bought my multi-deer tag the morning they went on sale at the Walmart in South Hill Puyallup. When I purchased the permit, the lady made me give my general modern tag to her and then she handed me my multi tag. Now I get a letter saying that it is in the computer as I have both tags and must send my general tag in to avoid any enforcement involvement. That's what they said enforcement involvement. Sounds like they didn't have this thought through when they decided to have them go on sale if people didn't buy them after the draw. Should have told the dealers to send the tags back to them. Anyhow I hope I can resolve this easily Monday.

Anyone else recieve a letter yet? Also why has it taken 4 months for a letter?!

And why the letter would have just been sent out now- I have no clue. If they truly thought you got your multi-season tag without turning in the other one, the letter should have gone out immediately.

Ya I can't believe I got the letter i handed the tag over into her hands and watched her trash it. So I have no way of proving of getting rid of the tag because I handed it to her. Knowing this state they'll take it to court. We'll see what they say Monday

Post by: muzbuster on December 14, 2015, 05:52:45 AM: I had got my general tag, then I got drawn for the multi season tag so I had to turn in the general tag when I went in and got the multi season tag. Simple as that no issues.
