As stated a real advantage of a MS permit it that allows you to apply for all hunts: East and West, Modern/Muzzleloader/Archery.

Odds of drawing Quality tags are extremely low: 1% or less in many instances. I wouldn't give up a year of applying simply because I had a MS permit. :twocents:

:yeah: exactly. I got draw for multi season elk finally and I will apply for sweet eastern muzzle tags and then hunt western units if I don’t get drawn.

Like Bob said, the advantage in the Special permits is you can pick a GMU and apply for multiple weapon types.

I drew multiseason and won’t be buying it before applying for permits. If I don’t draw a permit and think I may have extra time to hunt it I will buy it.
so I was wondering this as well, how does it work because you have to buy a tag to apply. so if you don't draw are you out the money for the tag you already bought?

If he bought the let's say archery tag before the multiseason drawing was run he is good to apply for archery tags. If he doesn't draw what he wants he turns in his archery tag and purchases the multiseason tag.I drew multiseason and won’t be buying it before applying for permits. If I don’t draw a permit and think I may have extra time to hunt it I will buy it.

So fellow WA elk hunters...it’s best to plan your year around not drawing a tag...because you won’t. Fact. Don’t call me a hater, I’m just trying to help. Have a nice day :hello:

The truth is that anyone who is counting on drawing any QUALITY or BULL tag in this state does not have any idea what the draw odds are. It’s probably a good general rule that your odds are 1-2% total...therefore it’s hard to know when your scheduled to draw a tag because it’ll be once every 50-100 years.:yeah: toss as many darts at the wall as you can and pray that one year something actually sticks

Got drawn for MS, YAY. Now I'm wondering if I should put in points option for Quality hunt. Sure I can select a killer muzzy or rifle tag but then won't the MS be just a waste. I know what areas I want to put in for Q & would most likely be successful. But what if I go out on a archery hunt & tag out & now I lost all my points. What have you done?
You've just been handed a hunting gift! One of the beauties of the multi season tag is you can hunt and apply for special hunts on both sides of the mountains. You can also apply for tags in archery, muzzle and modern. This opens up a number of possibilities, probably too many. If you don't get drawn for your quality tag, you still have all the general seasons to hunt, not bound to east/west. The multi season elk tag is fun, just be prepared to spend the time in the field. How many quality points do you have?

Next year, you can worry about 2019.
That’s what I do every year. Every year my hunts end up a little different due to tag draws, weather, days off, fires, etc.... But I seem to enjoy a growing success year after year.

Awesome! Keep us posted!
