I’ll be giving an elk tag back. Anybody know if I can buy it then return it to keep my points? :chuckle:
MW, if you're not going to purchase the multi-season tag you drew, you will get your points back. Just need to call WDFW and they'll work it for you over the phone. It only took a day or two and my points came back (I can't take advantage of the MS elk tag I drew with other state successful draws getting priority).

Here’s the response I got. Guess it just depends on who you deal with and whether any of them know what the heck is going on
Thank you for contacting the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Since the Multi-Season drawings are for a tag and not a permit, they do not qualify for the point restoration. Since the special hunt permits are not tags, they may be returned to the Wildlife Program, as those utilize the transport tags whether they are Multi-Season or General Season.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at 360.902.2464.

Do you have to PURCHASE the multi season tag in order to apply for different weapon type special hunts? Or are people just waiting until special draws come out to actually purchase their multi?
You have to purchase the multiseason tag before you can apply for different weapon type special hunts. Otherwise, you are limited to whatever tag you HAVE purchased, or if you have not yet purchased any tag, you can't apply for any hunts. I went through this the last couple years. Had to return my muzzleloader tag and purchase multiseason before other permit applications became available on my account.

Just called about availability of OTC MS tags not purchased before 31 Aug. I was told that they would not be selling them OTC this year, but instead will be notifying the hunters that did not draw - giving them a chance to purchase the MS tag based on the number they drew during the original draw for tags. Sounds like every applicant drew a number and then the original "selected" hunters had the opportunity to buy the tag up till the end of August. Any remaining/unpurchased tags will be then made available (by email contact) based on each hunter's draw number, until all the tags are sold or there are no more hunters desiring to buy it. :bdid:The deadline was July 31. I like the new (not new) way they are doing this, takes away the chit show of trying to buy an elk tag in .5 seconds. I had 11 points and didn’t draw an ms elk, I just have to hope I’m in line to get an email saying I’m next in line. Figure all the elk ms tags will be gone by next week.

I am 100% for WDFW charging up front the full cost for the multi season tags when you buy the permit application and if not drawn you get refunded the tag cost. Weeds out everyone who isn't really serious about wanting a multi season tag. I'm talking about the same couple thousand guys who don't buy their tags every year they're drawn... Other states do this with certain tags and it works great for the guys who are serious about it.
Even while paying for a family of 4 tags I fully support this !

According the regs it’s like it has been in the past
I personally spoke to them and they acknowledged that is what is published. Last week they were testing the system and there is a malfunction. They could not get the system to stop selling tags when the remaining number of available tags was up. The decision was made last week after not being able to resolve it that they would have to release the tags to the next in line. They will take all the X number of remaining tags and offer them to the next X number of remaining people. Those people have 1 week to buy. Then the next X number of remaining tags to the next X number of people in line. They intend to do this every week of the deer seasons until all tags are sold.

As I mentioned, I spoke with WDFW at length on this. My primary concern was they published one process and changed to another after the special permit draw. I, like many others, based my entire deer special permit application strategy on what they had published and knowing that if I was in line on time, there’s was nearly a 100% chance I could buy a leftover multiseason deer tag OTC. I have a pretty premier summer buck spot that I “pay” for with immense tractor work and other help through the year. I have been hunting for years on this spot with a Sep archery tag and I’ve already done the brush work with the tractor, set the blind up, etc… I’ve hunted this spot long enough to know that after about the 3rd week in September all the bucks disappear. This year I bought and applied for rifle special hunts in dream units after not getting drawn for a multiseason deer tag because I knew I could buy one if I got in line early. To change it after the draw feels like a bait and switch. I would have bought archery if they had tested their system, discovered this problem earlier, and announced the change earlier. Now they are saying it may be after the archery season is over before they sell all the multiseason tags based on the process I layer out in an earlier post. Pretty ticked by this.
I'm in the same boat - didnt draw multi season and went with modern rifle to try and cash in some points. Didnt draw anything and in setting up game cams this year for elk, stumbled into a stomper blacktail that I now cant get a tag for unless my number is called. He'll be gone before september even ends...

Go to a dealer and swap your tag. You just have to do it before the season starts.You can't swap tags if you applied for special permits.

Im for paying for it up front and they also dont need to give people almost 4 months to buy the dumb permit. Give them a month to purchase after the last day to submit permits and this could all happen months earlier.
Agreed. This is insane. How many times will they have to draw to sell out the tags? Seems like it could be into hunting season. Then at that point how many people would even want it? I would happily pay up front and let the state collect the interest while they hold my money.

Licensing Customer Service, 360-902-2464
125 surplus elk, 2,413 deer multi-season tags awarded this month
OLYMPIA — Hunters who bought a multi-season permit application for elk or deer earlier this year, but were not selected in the April drawing, may be one of the additional people who will be selected for surplus elk or deer multi-season tags.
Unlike past years, deer tags will be offered to the next in line hunters, instead of being sold over-the-counter.
“Just like last year, we’ll offer eligible hunters a leftover multi-season elk tag by selecting hunters sequentially from the April draw list, and we will use the same process for deer this year," said Peter Vernie, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) licensing division manager.
The remaining 125 elk and 2,413 deer multi-season tag winners will receive an email from WDFW notifying them that they are eligible to buy a multi-season elk tag. Hunters will have 10 days to buy a tag if they are selected. Hunters can buy licenses online, at an authorized WDFW license dealer, or at a WDFW regional office or headquarters in Olympia.
"Because winners will be notified by email, we advise you to make sure your email address is correct in the WILD System," added Vernie.
Multi-season deer tags are $139.10, and multi-season elk tags are $182. Tag costs are the same for residents and non-residents. There is no purchase deadline for elk or deer multi-season tags.
Hunters who purchase a second-chance multi-season tag do not use points in their multi-season deer or elk special hunt application categories.
Hunters with multi-season tags can hunt all three weapon choices (modern firearm, muzzleloader, archery), season permitting.

They just informed us this week. From what I hear it's because they couldn't get their system to work. Worst Department of Fish and Wildlife
I think they just took the next people in line from the original draw order. Not a new draw.

In the email the sent me,
The existing official Multi-season draw list is being used to select those who will get the chance to buy the remaining tags in order to prevent large gatherings at retail locations.
It doesn't mention anything about going back on sale in 10 days either

With the gas prices so high I highly recommend about 2400 of you skip the multi season so I can get one.
Worst case scenario I will be the camera man for my hunting buddies. Capturing their "almost got a shot" moments should be fun.

Just logged into me teenage son's account, he got a MS leftover tag. He's stoked, plans to bowhunt deer in September for the 1st time. The MS tag is a clunky system, pre-paid tag/apps would be a better way to do it but the refund process would be a PIA. People's credit card accounts expire, and post mailing checks requires a lot of labor and postage. USPS loses checks, people think its junk mail when a refund is sent, etc. etc. I work in the outfitting business and refund checks never go as smooth as you wish it would. I can see users being more frustrated trying to get their $139 back haha. :chuckle:Other states do it without any issues. Credit cards would be refunded when the first draw is run, within the monthly billing statement.

Well, you do get the bonus of a multi season tag without losing your points.

As I mentioned, I spoke with WDFW at length on this. My primary concern was they published one process and changed to another after the special permit draw. I, like many others, based my entire deer special permit application strategy on what they had published and knowing that if I was in line on time, there’s was nearly a 100% chance I could buy a leftover multiseason deer tag OTC. I have a pretty premier summer buck spot that I “pay” for with immense tractor work and other help through the year. I have been hunting for years on this spot with a Sep archery tag and I’ve already done the brush work with the tractor, set the blind up, etc… I’ve hunted this spot long enough to know that after about the 3rd week in September all the bucks disappear. This year I bought and applied for rifle special hunts in dream units after not getting drawn for a multiseason deer tag because I knew I could buy one if I got in line early. To change it after the draw feels like a bait and switch. I would have bought archery if they had tested their system, discovered this problem earlier, and announced the change earlier. Now they are saying it may be after the archery season is over before they sell all the multiseason tags based on the process I layer out in an earlier post. Pretty ticked by this.
This is ridiculous and I don't see how it's legal. Like you, this significantly impacts my plans and I've invested time and money. Anyone know a good lawyer? This is a BIG deal and needs to be rectified.

I don't think this end is the problem. I think too much time is given to purchase at the front end. You either buy it or you don't. Expecting to make vacation plans on a MS 2nd round is a bit of a stretch.

It's not hard to figure this stuff out if someone is so inclined. People want to hunt, they need to plan vacations, hotels, etc. It's not rocket science. Still farting around with a draw 3 weeks before the season starts does not help hunters.

Agree 100%. No reason the deadline to buy should be run all the way out to July 31st. Especially if they’re going to drag their feet like this distributing the leftovers.I talked to someone who said they are trying to get 2nd notice done by Sept. 1st. Not sure if that's possible?

So the people who were drawn and then chose not to buy it and then turned around and bought it. That way do they retain their points?If you got drawn the first time around then you lost your points anyway then you have until July 31st to buy it, if you dont buy it by then then you are out for good until next year.

Run multi-season in January (or even December), they would get more money as people haven't spent it in other states. Then, run the regular permit draw later and people will still apply since they would look to upgrade or other species.Agree with you 100% but you know they don't really care about hunting. Too worried about saving the Orcas and salmon recovery which they are failing at. We all know how this state is failing with hunting and conservation. Issue is the wrong people are in charge.

There are some good opportunities out there that do not require special permits. A guy just has to get out there and figure it out, but the folks in charge making decisions are not helping. Not complaining or being negative, just facts.

My brother and I both had this problem. A quick call to the wdfw fixed it. They had a glitch that erased the date on your certificate. They just need to put a date back into the system. The dealer can do it also but some don't want to.
thank you very much. I will give them a call.

It seems they could easily resolve it all by making the multi draw the price of the tag, and you get it or a refund. OR make it an OTC option with the 6.00 increase for the app fee. The numbers are high enough, IMO its already oversaturated to begin with. It would eliminate all the second draw and last minute hassle. If you want to spend money and buy it go ahead, if you want to save money that option is still available.

Heck I have gotten a left over multi season tag in august twice now and both times I walked out with my original deer tag and multi season tag. They should really do the multi season draw in the spring and redraw before the general season long before people all ready purchase a tag. I bet this happens often from vendors that don’t know anything.
Why not just educate them and tell them hey I’m suppose to forfeit the old tag , so I doesn’t keep happening and people aren’t tempted to ya know do the wrong thing , I’m sure it’s a big part of why f&g have made system such a pain since some people are keeping both tags purposely or not still not helping

Is part of the problem people turning their tags back in or is it people puting in for it then decided not to buy them?my opinion is if you had to pay up front for it ( and any other special draw) that would cut half the people out from the get go . And the timing allowed to purchase is crazy long and people put it it off until the last minute to purchase or forget

Its always been that way, if you apply for special permits for one weapon then you cant exchange it for another weapon if you werent drawn. H3ll, everyone would be doing that.

Wait,what? They won’t give the tags because you put in for special hunts? That should only matter if you’re exchanging for another weapon not multi season! You should probably call in yourself and get that clarified! I’m 90% sure that’s not right!
Yes, I read it myself and I called them myself after I walked out of the store. It's definitely their policy.

Yes, I agree and I learned it's historically been that way unless you apply for points only.
My issues with this instance is that the more than once, the W&F person on the phone told Bass Pro that I couldn't exchange because "he has a multiseason elk tag"....which I did not get selected for. Also the rules of having to make these choices months in advance leaves no room for major schedule changes in the future. Especially having paid up front for the applications.
In my mind it goes down like this:
Didn't get drawn? No problem.
Oh look, a business opportunity that takes up half the general archery season...let me go exchange for modern. Oh..I paid to apply for special hunts, didn't get drawn, and can't exchange? To me that's bad business. It's no fault of theirs that I have schedule change and WF doesn't loose revenue if I exchange a tag. The person at W&F that I spoke with said, "you applied for special hunts. we consider that use of the tag." My rhetorical question is, "How does that help manage wildlife?"

Yes, I read it myself and I called them myself after I walked out of the store. It's definitely their policy.I was in Bass Pro on Saturday and today attempting to exchange my archery elk tag for a modern tag. Saturday and today they had to call were being told that I can’t exchange because I have multiseason tag.
Oh really??? No, I don’t have a multiseason elk tag. So they called a third time and finally got a real answer. That’s when I learned I can’t exchange my tag because I applied for special hunts (was not drawn) which really ticked me off.
Its always been that way, if you apply for special permits for one weapon then you cant exchange it for another weapon if you werent drawn. H3ll, everyone would be doing that.
Yes, I agree and I learned it's historically been that way unless you apply for points only.
My issues with this instance is that the more than once, the W&F person on the phone told Bass Pro that I couldn't exchange because "he has a multiseason elk tag"....which I did not get selected for. Also the rules of having to make these choices months in advance leaves no room for major schedule changes in the future. Especially having paid up front for the applications.
In my mind it goes down like this:
Didn't get drawn? No problem.
Oh look, a business opportunity that takes up half the general archery season...let me go exchange for modern. Oh..I paid to apply for special hunts, didn't get drawn, and can't exchange? To me that's bad business. It's no fault of theirs that I have schedule change and WF doesn't loose revenue if I exchange a tag. The person at W&F that I spoke with said, "you applied for special hunts. we consider that use of the tag." My rhetorical question is, "How does that help manage wildlife?"

There's no way to buy it online. Do I have to go to a vendor in person and turn in my existing tag?Yes, go to a vendor and exchange your tag.

I'm sure WDFW may have screwed their directions up again, but this is an excerpt from the "news update" WDFW posted regarding extra multi-season tags.... I would log on and see if I could buy my tag.
"The remaining 125 elk and 2,413 deer multi-season tag winners will receive an email from WDFW notifying them that they are eligible to buy a multi-season elk tag. Hunters can buy licenses online, at an authorized WDFW license dealer, or at a WDFW regional office or headquarters in Olympia."

Approximately half of the tags were issued on the 1st leftover drawing. So if this trend continues I would say there will be about 600-700 tags leftover after the second round. Maybe more since the archery season will have already started at that point and people will have made other plans. 10 days to buy your tag is 5 days too long in my opinion. This process is painfully slow and obviously there was little thought put into this with the limited time left before the opener. Par for the course when it comes to dealing with WDFW.

Third round of multi-season tags to be awarded - 65 surplus elk, 1388 deer
Hunters who bought a multi-season permit application for elk or deer earlier this year, but were not selected in the last drawing, may be one of the additional people selected for surplus elk or deer multi-season tags. Hunters will be notified this week via email.
If you’re notified that you can buy one of the remaining multi-season tags, you have 10 days from the day of the email was sent to buy your tag. Make sure you pay attention to the expiration date.

The reason I'm posting is one of my daughter's comments. The reason hunting with girls is just different and special.
She said "Dad quit wasting your wind directional powder. Just watch our hair." I've been doing that and she is right...I'm sure it isn't perfect for wind direction but still hit my funny bone. The two of them aren't very good at spitting deer until around 6:30 am.
On a side note....I'm seeing about ten percent of the whitetail compared to last year. Mule deer also seem lower.

It's just as bad for fishing. Not sure if you all are paying attention to what's happening in the Columbia River but currently the commercial and tribal fleet are allowed to fish while the sportsman is not. Best run in years and WDFW won't even consider allowing line casted fishing until the 18th.
Guess my point is just that our multiple season deer tags isn't the only area they are failing in.

Approximately half of the tags were issued on the 1st leftover drawing. So if this trend continues I would say there will be about 600-700 tags leftover after the second round. Maybe more since the archery season will have already started at that point and people will have made other plans. 10 days to buy your tag is 5 days too long in my opinion. This process is painfully slow and obviously there was little thought put into this with the limited time left before the opener. Par for the course when it comes to dealing with WDFW.So by my math if this trend continues I figure it will take about 11 more rounds to sell out of the MS deer tags, give or take not taking into account the human factor. This will take us out into about the first week of January. Good job WDFW.

:yeah: I have 14 points for MS elk and cant even get a tag on the 3rd or whatever offering they are on now. So it makes me wonder what those weighted points actually get you since I am literally the only person who has never drawn the tag that has put in ever year since they started offering MS.

Buddy of mine drew MS elk but he’s not going to buy it since we’re 5 days into the season and he had no way to plan. So there’s one more tag up for grabs.just sell me one of each / cash in handDid they even send emails this round? Anyone get one?I got a email yesterday at 3:44 PM. There is 30 elk and 809 deer left as of yesterday.

Anyone heard anything from wdfw if they're going to offer anymore leftover MS tags? I'm still patiently waiting for my chance to buy one :bash:I emailed the media resource person yesterday morning asking them to release another update since it’s been over a month since they’ve done the last one. Unsurprisingly, I’ve received no response.

This is the first year in the 13 that I've been hunting that I didn't get a MS deer tag. All one can do is complain the the Director of WDFW. Knowing these liberals though, I wouldn't expect much response. They have you in their control and will be hard-pressed to let go of those reins.
All in all though, it doesn't much matter. My son passed his Hunter Ed Course and Field Trials last week. I hit four stores in my area today in an attempt to put all of our gear together prior to the first hunt. I'm sure you all knew it, but I was surprised to find that here's absolutely no ammo available in the caliber rifles I own. Even online, prices are 3X what they should be and when I tried to check with one of those price gouged options in my shopping cart, I found that these online merchants no longer ship to WA. I guess we'll throw rocks and sticks at the bucks this year. Freeking amazing.

Not that hard to believe. Hunting access controlled by the liberal left..(?).. They don't care about money. Consider the US House of Representatives.. Not having money in the coffers is no reason to not spend much, much more than funding allows. .what caliber are you looking for? I don’t have a lot but if I have a certain caliber it may be enough to get you through the season?

Do they intentionally not want to sell all of them? Is that how bad the hunting is out there now? I understand that money is their top priority, but maybe it's that bad? It's hard to believe that an organization can be this incompetent and that it's not actually intentional at this point.
Probably the Anti-Hunting Commissions idea so as to get less hunter day's in the field chasing Bambi.

Just updated today...FYI...as I am finally "selected" for deer. At this point I wasn't going to buy it, BUT like the idea of some of the late hunts (I already have the muzzy tag) and the possibility of going out with my 75 year old Dad during rifle season or the late buck rifle weekend...and since it doesn't affect points I will buy it.Wow.. I’m pretty sure I’m last in line. Still not selected

So they started this BS process reminding those selected and giving them 10m MORE days to buy them. Why not send THAT email e
with 10 days left in July?!?!!! Oh yeah it's washington. How could we possibly expect efficiency? :bash:
Since them there have been 3 additional chances sent out giving receiver's 10 days here we are with 1 1/2 seasons expired and still 551 Deer and18 Elk tags not yet spoken for!
How many antis do you figure apply for multis just to self tap us and the state plays right along?

I have been called worse than that.
And I did put in for it this since I was able to get the tags refunded (Medical issue) last year so this year is just a push. I had 8 points last year and this year and drew with a single point.

Any updates? When’s the next drawing?I would assume it will be sometime this week. Even if I missed the early archery I would have still bought it for the general muzzy but at this point I think I’m out. My turn to make them eat a tag.

I’m tempted to call WDFW and ask for a prorated price, although I know the answer to that question. I’ll hunt this week, if I don’t seal the deal I’ll probably be a sucker and make the purchase in order to extend my hunting season as long as possible.
The way this whole thing was handled is real disappointing, to a lot/all of us, it’s also disappointing that they don’t care what a bunch of dirtball outdoorsmen think… At least it seems that way :dunno:

I bought the tag I was forced to purchase once I put in for special hunts. Had I known that I wouldn’t have a multiple season tag I would have NOT put in for rifle hunts and would have had an archery deer tag.
Meat out of my freezer was the 3 legal buck encounters I had during archery elk season.
They changed the rules mid game! Multiple season tags were a guarantee. I’m the guy who beat you to the front of the line the day they went for sale over the counter. Happily take a day off work to guarantee my time in the woods.
That’s just me. I don’t expect many to understand.
