too many people complained about the first come first serve, saying it wasn't fair.As long as we have people applying with no intention of buying the mess will continue.

for next year, i put in for points..because i know NOW that i wont have time to utilize the opportunites. my guess is for people who actually apply, but then don't buy if they draw is because of priorities or commitments changing.
It would make zero sense to me to apply and have zero intention of drawing, unless you are applying for just points.
i too agree that the new system makes more sense, but it should happen MUCH faster.
Draw next group of however many unsold are, give them say 5 days to buy, onto the next group of remaining unsold.
It was indeed laughable that they were offering multi season tags AFTER one of the seasons.

I like the new way of issuing unsold tags, next in line get first crack. I only wish they’d speed up the process, give people 2 weeks after the first draw, then 1 week at a time.
:yeah: First ones to buy MS application get front of the line for left over MS permit. That will speed things up. :chuckle:

I am still dumbfounded that we get 4 months to apply... and after the draw is completed in April, the "selected" folks get 3.5 months to decide whether or not they will purchase it or not. That is 7.5 months to decide on something most folks know if they are going to purchase or not much sooner. This timeline SNAFU is self imposed by the WDFW and can be easily fixed.

Being that all of the multi's were not distributed last year by Mid October, I was wondering if there is a way to find out how many applied for it and if they even bought a license. Since it sure seems Someone(s) are getting in the way of it happening as intended. Anyone have an idea?I'm not sure if this answers the question or not, but here is data from 2021. The data from 2022 isn't available yet but should be soon.

Now with so many apps sold and not selling out about a third of them by October I would find very questionable as if antis apply just to mess it up :twocents: And Thank You!Being that all of the multi's were not distributed last year by Mid October, I was wondering if there is a way to find out how many applied for it and if they even bought a license.

I like how it was in the past , you draw or first come first served in august but there’s a helpful solution is pay whole amount upfront for ALL special draws and if you don’t draw you get a refund check … like Montana as it’ll weed out the tire kickersbest thing WDFW could do is “pay up front” for multi and OIL tags, I hated the first come first serve way of handing out left over multi tags for elk, it was a chit show that lasted one minute and you had to find a person who knew what they were doing behind the counter. Passing the tags on to the next in line is the best way, they just need to shorten the time up to purchase. IMHO

multi season is BS. Do as other states do.......... In PA, My home state you purchase your license then purchase a archery and a muzzleloader permit. You only get one deer unless you draw a doe tag. Oh by the way, the non-resident cost is cheaper than our resident license. They make plenty of money to run their programs.
This state doesn't like hunters or fisherman. They like the revenue stream, that's why the amount goes into the general fund and law makers reallocate funds to run the WDFW. Could you imagine what WDFW could do with (+/-)$330 million vs. (+/-)$97 million.

Not one penny of our license or tag purchase goes to the State General fund. It is required to go directly to DFW or we would not get the Federal Pittman Robertson money.
