Title: WA licensing questions.
Post by: ellsworth on January 28, 2009, 10:44:07 AM: Hey folks,
I just moved here last june, so i'm a little sketchy on how the applications work. I know that in WI we had applications to get into a specific turkey season, so is that how it works for here with the multiple season apps?

I want to apply for a multi season tag, do I buy that now for next season? Or is the date past?

Also the special hunt tags? Are those for only specific units if you get pulled for them?

Turkey tags, do I just by one over the counter if I have a small game license? I can't do it online now without buying everything over again so I want to make sure I do it right for the multiple season stuff for deer as well.

Thanks for any help,

Ellsworth

For turkey, the only special permits are for the fall season. Spring season is over the counter. You can get a tag when you buy you small game licens.

Thanks for the turkey info.

Thanks the information.
