Still haven't received the WDFW email. If you applied for multi-season tags, and didn't draw, you'll receive an email with the leftover quantities and date available.
Perfect thank you sir!!

And yes for those that asked in other related thread they will only be sold OTC to those who applied but did not draw

Just curious, do the deer tags sell out quickly? This is the first year I did not draw the multi-season deer tag and I may be traveling about the time they go on sale.probably won't sell out, if you are first in line for a deer tag, please let the first guy buying an elk tag go ahead of you. You will get your deer tag, the elk will be gone in seconds.

I am pretty sure they changed last year that elk go on sale an hour before deer do so there isn't that situation anymore.

If thats the situation, smart move by wdfw. I've gotten the elk the past two years but had to take 3 hours of vacation to stand in line to be first. last year it sold out in 15 seconds, I'm not even bothering this year, I'll be in Mexico anyways when they go up for grabs.Just curious, do the deer tags sell out quickly?

Applicants who purchased a Multi-Season Application and applied for the drawing, but were not selected, will have a chance to purchase a permit for each Multi-Season application purchased for the 2017 license year. Applicants who submitted an application for the points only option are not eligible for this second chance purchase. To review your Multi-Season purchase(s) and their status, login to your WILD account and select Special Hunts.
Purchasing Information:
Multi-Season Deer or Elk Permits will only be available for purchase at an authorized WDFW License Dealer, WDFW Regional Offices, or Headquarters.
No online sales will be provided.
Multi-Season Elk Permits will go on sale first starting at 10:00 a.m. on August 15. Customers will only be able to purchase a Multi-Season Elk Permit at that time. Ten minutes later, at 10:10 a.m., Deer permits will become available for purchase. If you are planning on purchasing both permits, you will have to do so in two separate transactions.
Multi-Season Elk Permits are expected to sell out in 30 seconds or less. It is likely that only one in every 20 license vendors will be able to complete a transaction for the Multi-Season Elk Permit.
It is required that you have your General Elk or Deer License before you purchase a Multi-Season Permit. Make sure to do this ahead of time.
If you have your General Season Elk or Deer tag, you must surrender your General Deer or Elk Tag at the time of purchase. There are no exceptions. You will not be able to mail in your General Deer or Elk Tags at a later date.
On August 15th your General Season Deer and/or Elk Tag will not need to be voided at the time of your purchase.
On August 16th you will need to contact the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Headquarters at (360) 902-2464 between 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to have your General Season Deer Tag voided before you purchase a Multi-Season Deer Permit.
If you participate in the first-come, first serve second chance purchase and are successful, you will not lose points in your Multi-Season Deer or Elk application categories.
Multi-Season Permit Information:
Multi-Season Deer Permit $139.10
3,152 remaining permits.
Multi-Season Elk Permit $182.00
149 remaining permits.

The part I bolded should not be there. They need to hire a better proofreader.

I will be in Alaska fishing next week and won't be able to buy a deer multi season until I return on August 21. Assuming they are not sold out, do I need to call and cancel my tag first? Or do I just need to surrender it at the point of sale?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Deer multiseason goes on sale August 15th at 10:10am
Elk multiseason sell out in 30 seconds.
The staggered start is to avoid overloading the system.
That is per the wdfw email

Sorry for the confusion, but we don't expect the leftover deer permits to sell out on the 15th (they have not in the past), so those directions are ONLY if you purchase a deer permit on the 16th or after. On the 15th, we are not requiring a void of the general tag before the purchase of elk or deer permits.
I'm pretty good at reading comprehension, but I'm still uncertain (and I haven't had time to call WDFW when they are open). Can anybody straighten me out on this? Can I just show up at a vendor tomorrow and by the MS deer tag, or do I need to purchase a general season tag first?

You need to pay for the license/general tag as well in order to buy the multiseason. You should be able to buy them together. I have the last two years. Can't buy the multiseason without having your big game license either in advance or in conjunction with the multi purchase.
Thank you for the clarification. This is the first year I wasn't selected; I appreciate hearing from somebody who purchased the tag in similar circumstances.

I will say that the email directions about getting the permit and then cancelling your old tag are a little confusing. My wife says that they didn't take or cancel my daughters archery deer license and they gave her a multiseason deer permit so she technically has two tags right now.
They said they wouldn't take the old tag today. You're supposed to call the WDFW tomorrow and have it voided. Then I assume they will ask you to mail it in.
But yes, the email was very confusing. However, that's my interpretation of it. I could be wrong.

Here a quote from the email I got, clear as mud.

I was really tired when I was trying to read that message and figure out what was being said, but after trying again in the morning I figured... "whatever"

They said since I didn't apply for the multiseason deer tag in the first place , I'm not eligible to purchase the left overs this year
So it's only for the people who didn't draw the tag or the people who didn't make the dead line :dunno:

Didn't know there was that many losers when there's 3100 tags available....so 3100 people drew but didn't buy it :dunno:
You'd think they'd wanna make some money and just sell em all regardless if you put in or not....lady says they never sell out of muktiseason deer

So I head up to Burien Fred Myer and walk up to the clerk at customer service and tell her what I need, she says sorry, deer is sold out, I just sent another customer away. I say try again. This time it worked and she new how to process my old tag.
There is going to be a whole lot of left over tags this year.
Post by: Nmesub on August 15, 2017, 04:57:40 PM
they need to do it like Montana, when you put in for the tag want you have to pay for the cost of the tag before the draw. Get reimbursed if you dont draw.Talked to fish and game
