Time will tell... you can check on Wednesday the 18th.
Good luck to all of us. :tup:
-
I would be curious to know how many of the "Lucky 128" actually buy the ticket.
The major reason that I have interest in the multi-season tag is to pair the seasons with multiple special draw opportunities. After early June, there is much less reason to buy the tag.
Does anybody know how many people actually bought the tag last year, after the 2nd offer?
-
I think they'll send emails to the 128 people before Wednesday
-
I am honestly worried about drawing and burning my points. Like mentioned above, its ridiculous to take the tag after the special hunts deadline. Maybe theres a way to pass and keep my points if I am one of the 128.

you don’t lose your points on the second drawing.
-
Is it a drawing? I thought they went on sale over the counter first come first serve like they do every year??

no, they now go to the next in line of not drawn, they started this last year. IMHO it’s a better way to distribute the tags.
-
Fingers crossed. I still like the options. Westside, eastside, and all weapon seasons.
-
I always just want it so I can apply for permits on the east side and hunt on the west side when I don't draw, so I won't be buying one at this point.
-
If I'm in there I'll buy it. I want to fill a tag on an elk this year, had tag soup last year, freezer is lookin dismal. I will just weekend warrior it all season though.
-
I'll buy it if given the chance. I love hunting all of the seasons.

Yah, I might grab one if offered.

Well since I have never drawn a MS elk tag and I am pretty sure I am the top points holder in the state for MS elk, I kind of want to buy one if just given the opportunity. With that being said, I probably will not as I didn't have any fall plans when putting in for the MS tag originally. My wife now has a moose tag, we both also have Palouse buck tags plus ID deer tags, which means I will probably pass on buying it even if I get the email. I'd love to hunt all seasons, but we have our hands full already and I'd rather see someone else put the tag to good use as my fall is pretty booked up already.

I doubt there will be a 'round 3' since there is no purchase deadline for the leftovers.

Although that is mighty kind of you to let somebody else "put the tag to good use," the system doesn't work that way. If you are one of the 128 lucky winners, and if you don't purchase the tag, then it goes to waste. There is no deadline on purchase.

I am pretty confident I am not one of the lucky 128, I think I bought mine right before the deadline. Some of you will be blessed, don't waste it!
-

I personally only know one. Me. I was surprised to see the notice I was selected when I was cleaning out my junk mail.
-
If I’m drawn I’ll buy it. Originally we were supposed to be in North BC for Moose this October but that got canceled due to needing the vax to get into Canada. Now I find myself with more time to hunt Washington. I applied knowing I would most likely only get points.

It sucks but good for you for standing up to the vax! I hope you draw a multi tag!

Kinda strange the reasoning of have a “2nd draw” for elk - so there’s not a pile up of people at the counter do to COVID but multi season deer is still go to the counter and try to get a tag

Demand is much less for the deer tags, that's why.
-
:yeah: Multi deer usually lasts a couple of weeks, sometimes don't actually ever sell out. It's not going to be a mad rush to get em.

Last year multi season deer tags lasted hours. No telling what it will be like this year.
-
:yeah:
but so did the longview weyehouser and Aberdeen permits and those went in seconds who knows what's going to happen im trying to get deer and if i draw elk heck yeah im buying it ill take every chance i can get to harvest in insleington

insert eat crow icon! interesting, didn't know that. 100% online must have helped that. People must hate standing in line at license dealers enough to not want to deal with that.
I didn't even apply for multi deer last year, but all the years prior I could get them well after they went available.
-
There’s no doubt the deer will sell out within hours.
-
Why are the 128 left over multi season elk tags given away in sequential order to the people who got drawn next in line, but the 2800 left over deer tags can be bought online or at an authorized WDFW dealer?? Don’t get it, why wouldn’t it be the same either way for both species?
-
Demand . Read the posts above yours . Folks exlpain it pretty well .
-
Anyone drawn yet?
-
I think it said after 10 am today
-
Some people already received e-mail!

Prior to Covid, deer multi tags were available days, if not weeks after they were released.
For elk, there would be line ups of a lot of people, well before the release time, hoping to get the tag. They would sell out in minutes/hours depending on the store and system that day.
But i'm sure there is some type of manual work to go down in sequential order of the draw, send emails, post to their account, etc and that is manageable for 128.
But to do that for 2800, is out of the question!
-
10 points for multi elk, and nothing here!
-
Pretty sure I didn't get one, not in my "special hunt wins" ...? :dunno:
-
Anyone get one?
-
Nope. Archery elk for me this year
-
I'm thinking they haven't updated yet... well, I hope that's what's happening.
-
The site just went down.
-
I wasn’t one of the lucky 128
-
Finally got in to check. Don't see one available. :o Can't be right. :dunno: Guess I better call and double check. :rolleyes:
-
I got an email stating that I drew one of the left over tags
Im on the fence though. I drew an Archery antlerless elk tag as well... don't know if I'll end up purchasing it. Someone steer me in the right direction :dunno:

Its an East side cow tag... We know the area very well and have been consistently successful for the past 20 years... The reason why its a tough call

If it was me , I'd keep the cow tag .

So... if I haven't gotten an email by now, I'm probably s.o.l....
Oh well, maybe next year. :(
-
I got the email at 10:30 today and it shows in my special hunt wins but will not let me purchase it online. I guess I'll have to call the department tomorrow
-
Congratulations to all that got the permit.
-
Thankfully I was not one of the lucky 128 hunters. :chuckle:
-
Somehow it’s not as exciting of news this time of year as it would have been pre-draw for special permits
-
I got one. Probably won’t buy it. How does this work? Will someone else get it? Really don’t want it to go to waste.
-
They did not put a time limit on when you have to buy it so looks like the tag stops with you whether you buy it or not. Sure wish I would’ve got an email today I definitely would’ve been buying it, at least I was one of the lucky few that got through to get the multi season deer
-
If it was me and there was no chance I was buying the multi season tag I would call fish and game and tell them that. I don't know if they pass the tags on or not but at least if there aware then maybe someone will get a chance.
-
I just called and was able to purchase my multi season elk tag no problem
-
Lucky dog!!!
-
Nice

:yeah: That would be nice if they did move to next runner up. Would be no problem selling them all out quickly I'm sure. :hello:
