I've bought deer tags, then bought MS tags after the fact and not gone to Olympia to do it. Did it at Fred Meyer in fact. Are you saying the only place someone can buy their MS tag after purchasing a deer tag is in Olympia?
No, but the license dealer has to call the WDFW office in Olympia so the original tag purchased can be removed from the system, so that the other tag can be purchased. At least that is my understanding of how it works. Weren't you required to turn in the original tag at Fred Meyer before they would sell you the multi season tag?
I could be wrong. But that is how it is was for me once when I exchanged an archery deer tag for a muzzleloader deer tag, and I'm assuming the process is the same when exchanging a tag for a multi season tag.

I gave the lady my tag and she looked at me weird. I told her she was gonna need that and left it at that. I wasn't sure what the process was, and she didn't look like she knew either. I left with a multiseason permit and 1 tag in my pocket though. This was ~4 years ago maybe?

Sounds like similar experiences I've had at Walmart, which is the closest license dealer to my house (though I do like to hang out there for the quality of the people I encounter). :chuckle:

If WDFW is closed today and tomorrow (last 2 days you can buy the multi season) and you have purchased a tag before drawing multi and now want to surrender your tag and buy multi you are hozed.
I bought my multi today but had not declared a season prior. A guy in front of me did and the system would not let him buy his multi. They should be given a break for that. If it says you can wait until July 31 than you should be given until July 31.

I made two posts about this falling on Sunday and that if you have a tag Friday would be the latest you could consummate the purchase of the MS tag.

K, you are NOT "hozed"! I just now called the after hours number that Oh Mah provided, talked a representative and she took my info, told me someone will call me back tomorrow when office hours are open and that I am OK. As long as you call in to this after hour number before midnight tonight you can still purchase your multi-season tag! Like I said, I literally just did. Phew!

You late comers should thank oh mah for posting the number to call to get your tag, very considerate of him. I personally don't understand why people wait till the last damn minute to do something than get all pissy when something is messed up.:yeah:

before you were selected, your general season tag must
be surrendered before a multiple season tag can be
purchased.
z If selected, multi-season tags will be available to
purchase any time prior to August 1.
z Permits not purchased by successful applicants by August
1 may be sold to non-selected applicants on a first-come,
first-served basis.
I just tried to buy mine and the game Dept. said someone is giving out miss information about them on sale today. They said keep checking the web site.

Needs to be first come first serve in store and online as well. Shouldn't just be for the people that are able to take a couple hours off of work.
They should be redrawn and the redraw should be only open to those who entered and were not selected first time around.
Post by: Bob33 on August 01, 2016, 09:29:55 AM
That's been tried. The same situation occurs where some who are drawn do not purchase the permits, resulting in left overs again. First come, first served resolves that never-ending cycle.Needs to be first come first serve in store and online as well.

They just need to make the second round drawing pre-purchase. Re-imbursement if not drawn
Gives everyone who is serious about purchasing a fair shake at getting one.

A second redraw of those who didn't get drawn the first time around and then that is it. Any that people don't pay for just don't get sold.

The Reg.s page 8, z Please note that if you purchased your license and tagThis information you bring up came out after the draw did it not?What i was told was that the stores told a lot of people that they had to buy the tags first,that is where the problem is-----------plus that they waited until the last day.
before you were selected, your general season tag must
be surrendered before a multiple season tag can be
purchased.
z If selected, multi-season tags will be available to

While that be a logical approach, (a) WDFW is not going to forego the chance to sell all the available multi-season permits at $140+/each, and (b) WDFW is not going to incur the additional trouble and expense of modifying the system to require pre-payment, processing the pre-payments, determining who is due a refund, and processing/mailing the refunds. It’s simpler to turn it over to the dealers to sell the remaining permits on a first-come, first-serve basis.That's been tried.
