I was curious about the multi-season draws odds. They are not yet available for 2022 on the WDFW website that I could find. In 2021 for deer, it was 8,500 tags for 21,641 apps, 39% chance. Elk was 1000 tags for 20588 applicants, 5% chance.
-
It’s worse than that if you factor in the squaring of points.
-
:yeah: I've put in every year for elk and have never drawn, so I have like 14 or 15 points. I lost track at this point, but my points theoretically give me a better shot at being issued a lower number in the draw than a person with only 1 point. The bottomline is the odds are much worse than your calculations once y ou u figure in squaring of the points.
-
Will have 12 points this year for elk, but those odds are terrible either way, 20 or 1 point.
-
I've got 7, 8, 9, 10, & 11 points in elk categories. That number of squared points amounts to :tdown: :sry:
-
I drew elk in 2013 with 5 points, then again in 2022 with 8 points. I guess I will be lucky if I ever draw it again, but I have really enjoyed it when I’ve I had that tag.
-
I’m going in with 6 elk points and 3 deer points. I have bought the deer tag every fall anyway but I have been in a losing streak. When I started the multi season draw 7 years ago it was about 100% draw odds for deer.
-
wow that's disappointing odds. I was hoping to draw this year with zero points. lol

Meanwhile some dingus is drawing with zero points and not purchasing the tag. :bash:

I didn't get redrawn last year until October. I haven't heard a straight answer if they're sticking with the same system as last year, or reverting back to first come first served. Anyone know for certain?

You get a point when you buy the application, so everyone starts with 1 point. Back to zero when you draw.

Oh ya I forgot about that.. what a joke that turned out to be.
-
I know I'll get flamed ,and the horse beaten for my next comments.
They shouldn't even have multiseason.
Multiseason is just our state and king inslee being greedy.
Selling off opportunities that will end hunting faster.
That's just my opinion. :twocents:
If you draw ,you have to pay for the tag.
Lower the amount of tags for deer.
No left overs ,like if someone returns or doesn't buy,it doesn't become available period.
Sorry I shouldn't say anything at all sometimes.
Makes no sense to me ,with ungulate population so low.
And continue to drop year after year.
To continue some opportunities such as multiseason or at the very least lower the amount of tags given.
I'll give an example.....
Hunters are super worried about the Blues ELK right.
At the same time ,hunters want there multiseason to hunt those same elk 4 months out of the year.
Doesn't seem right to me.
Like said flame away ,get the pitchforks and let me have it.
Oh and good luck in the draw.
Just another way to pay more.
Multiseason in my mind is the reason anytime and I mean anytime ,ungulate population is in trouble the very first solution WDFW will have . Is permit season will be applied.
Have a great day
Good luck

hunter399...I see your point, but a bit over-dramatic to be honest...hunters who draw the multi-season elk do not get 4 months to chase elk in the Blues. They get 12 days in Sept for archery (spike only), 7 days in Oct muzzy (spike only) and 9 days Nov (ok, last 3 days of oct, and 6 in Nov) for again, spike only. Plus, not all of those who draw the multi-elk will hunt in the Blues, in fact I would guess very few (yes, it's a guess) given that there are better opportunities elsewhere. Also, the deer population in certain areas is doing just fine..blacktail for example, (there are recent studies on collared blacktails showing habits, and deer behavior...one doe lived in 20 acres for an entire year, while most lived in a quarter section or so). what is hurting the deer is urban sprawl, such as hobby farms in the Methow valley, and track home developments in Western Wa.
Maybe they need to restrict certain areas with the multi-season tags, such as not valid for the blues, or do I dare say, the Methow valley units for mule deer. that would put more focus on hunting herds that need to be thinned (like western Wa elk with hoof rot) or healthy deer numbers such as blacktail. but less people would apply, and even less would buy it, and as you said, which I agree with, it is King Inslee and the state's greed...they would lose too much money.
Personally, I see this state going to a "all draw" system like Oregon for the east side...and eventually the west side, when they see how much more money they can get from application "fees" (tax).

Multi season elk doesn’t affect elk populations in the units that are special draw, like the blues. On the Westside where you have more OTC elk units to hunt, those populations are fine. I don’t think multi elk tags play any real part in the down fall of elk populations, but I’m nobody special.
-
There are a number of us who put in for mulitseason for less nefarious purposes than to hunt every single opportunity across the state. My property is in GMU 133 which has really tight general deer seasons for all weapon choices. Getting a multiseason deer tag allows me to hunt on my own property by myself in early archery season, with my kids during early modern, and then one late season whitetail muzzy opportunity. It's a way for me to hunt my property throughout the fall with 0 impact to the general hunting community. I have really enjoyed the MultiSeason option. Albeit, it's definitely not perfect.
-
How many elk multi-season, 1,000? What's the success rate, 10-12% max? So, 120 elk are killed on a multi tag. Of those 120, how many guys would have been successful without the multi? At the end of the day, it's a bunch of money for the state and less than 100 more elk killed statewide out of what 4-5k elk shot a year? That's a 2% increase.
-
Hunter 399, I cant help but agree with you on most of your points. Its nothing but a money grab for our greedy state politicians. They originally went to a three weapon season in our state due to the large masses of people and the limited hunting opportunities and herd sizes. Now to go back and do what they are doing at a time when our access and herd numbers are even way lower than when they initially introduced the three weapon seasons seems to make no sense at all. You will get kick backs here because people want more opportunity (including myself) but that is nothing but pure human nature. I don't know all of the answers but this is nothing but another way to get one more drop of blood out of a dried up turnip. Not to much more to say about it all. its like all government programs, you might not agree with them but you have to play the hand you are dealt so I don't fault anyone for applying for them, but that doesn't mean the system isn't broken and all screwed up!
-
Don't like it? Don't apply for it :twocents:
II wish it was pay up front to eliminate the tire kickers.

You absolutely could.
You get a point when you buy the application, so everyone starts with 1 point. Back to zero when you draw.
No everyone starts with zero “bonus” points. 1 application. Then you get 1 point, next year 4 applications.
-
I just want to say sorry.
I know this as most draws are a fun time had by all.
Sometimes like said above I need to keep my mouth shut.
I do honestly wish all Goodluck, don't look down on anybody that apply. You gotta take what you can get ,when the get in is good.
With all that said .....
I'm ready for multiseason grouse season....LOL.
I'm kidding guys
Good luck to all ya.
Carry on with the good ideas to get drawn.

-
Most folks are limited by their obligations to work and family and can't hunt the whole season.
They will try to get out for the weekends, and that's about the most they can hunt besides a solid week or two during their preferred method.
-
A lot don't even use all the time and different weapons they can use either. If the season drags on they just bag it.

Did anyone catch you must by your multi season tag if drawn before special permits this year?

April 1 is tomorrow 🤷♂️

I honestly gave up on this scam years ago after drawing the elk tag twice and the deer tag 4 years straight. You know you can buy the same tag in others states every other year as a non resident in states with higher deer and elk populations?

You get the point before the draw. So if you're starting with no points, you'll be in the draw with 1 point. Next year you'll be in with 2 points. Nobody in the draw has zero.

Yes you start with one point. But you don’t have a “bonus point” until the next year.
-

Pretty sure that’s how it’s always been isn’t it? Makes sense why would they let you put in for multiple special draws if you don’t have the tag all ready.

Correct nothing about have to and only says if
-
My biggest reason to buy the multi season elk tag, if drawn, is to put in for different weapons on on the same category. Quality elk muzzy wenaha 1st choice, archery little Natches 2. For example. Or an Eastside tag first choice, then throw a westside rifle rut tag second choice. You obviously can’t do that without the multi tag. Not sure why people hate the tag, I’d pay even more for it if ever drawn.
-
I drew deer all 4 of the years that I applied. In those 4 years I learned that I only need 4 days, the same 4 every year to get my buck. I used the permit as an informational tool.
-
Took me 7 years to draw the elk the first time and now I have 8 points
-
Never have drawn it, but bought it 3 times, got lucky in the first come first served twice and then last year I was in the first round of second chances. 11 or 12 points this year.
-
Should we know Mid April?
-
Does Everyone that bought leftover tags last year still have there points? I bought a leftover tag the last 3 years but this year my points are showing 0. After purchasing the leftover tag last year I had 7 points. I have never lost my points buying a leftover tag.
-

Yes, usually

if you buy it as a leftover tag you shouldn’t loose your points. Mainly because when you buy it this way you don’t get all of the benefits from the tag when it comes to LE draws. If you draw it normally you can then apply for all three weapon choices in the special permit applications. If you buy it leftover you don’t. I bought it late twice and didn’t loose my points in the past.
-
Nope, don’t lose your points
-
DNRY. :chuckle:
-
Points are all messed up. Something is happening :chuckle:
-
My 2 points is going to get me drawn for elk. So you all can fight over the remaining 999. :chuckle:

Normally by now there is dozens of pages on this subject! The lack of Give A Sh*t this year is pretty funny. Wdfw finally broke us.

I have a not selected by my choices under special hunts. :bash:

I got selected for deer

Got drawn for deer but no elk. :'(
-
Holy crap, they ran them! Selected for deer not for elk.
-
No dice on deer for me
-
What will buying leftovers look like this year. Last year was a mess!
-
Got deer but no elk.
-
Not selected for either this year. My first year ever hunting (5 seasons ago) I drew both, just hoping to get some points toward future years. I didn't have bow, or a muzzie, so I just let them go to leftovers. Given that success I figured just about every year you had a good chance of getting them...and haven't drawn since :chuckle: Oh well, I'll try for some leftovers this year and see how that goes.

Selected for Deer, Not Selected for Elk

Nada for deer or elk for me and my daughter 🤬 2 years in a row 😡

No the question is, when do the new regs come out so we can apply for special permits?
-
Zip but thats ok, just wanted to be on the alternate list anyway.
-
3 for 4 on our group on deer.
-
Drew deer, first time applying. Any point in paying for it if I don't have a bow? Seems like an extra 3 weeks to muzzy hunt and that's about it.

They are unfortunately, no changes from last year.

for elk i think its great, gives everyone the same chance of buying a leftover instead of it depending on what store or who is working it.

Cool, got Deer no elk

Well be in Alaska going for moose most of archery, but I'll get in a few days at the end before moving on to muzzy if needed.

Neither for me

they gave me the “ option “ to buy one on October 30th nut I already submitted my tag by then 😡 tells you how stupid that system is

You will need to exchange your current tag for the multi season and pay for it. Your current tag came with your big game license. You have to pay additional for the multi season. If you have not selected a tag for this season you can choose the multi tag when you buy your license.
-
I wonder if you can get your points back and return the multi tags if you do it before the end of submission period for special pemits? If I draw in another state or a private land permit before the permit deadline, I won't want my multi tags. I'll have to call them.

Just dont buy it until right before the deadline. Doubtful theyd give a refund or points back. You drew do your points are already gone regardless if you buy it.
-

Same here, also I bought 20acres in the Okanogan last November, now I just have to hope the redraw *censored*show doesn’t repeat this year too

Drew deer with 2 points and elk with 7. Maybe I’ll finally kill an elk this year :chuckle:

WDFW got back w me, multi tags drawn aren’t like special permits, you can’t return them for point reinstation. Unless your can prove a medical issue or military deployment. No big deal, I just had to ask. Looking forward to the long season!!

Yeah, I purchased my DEBC package but didnt declare what method for either deer or elk on the off chance i drew multi for either so I dont have anything to turn in. Thought I could do it online. I have a message into the game dept asking how to do it, just waiting to hear back. Thanks.

It should be an option. At the top there is a drop down menu, that says "Category." Click on that, go under "Hunting" and select "Tags." Then you should see all the tags available for purchase.

Woo hoo, found it, thanks!

How confident are you guys and gals that there will be left over multi season permits later this year? I didn't draw and plan to hunt archery at my cabin but would really like to apply for the rifle tags up there. I am thinking of choosing modern, applying for those permits and then hoping if I don't draw, I can snag a left over MS tag....
-
There is usually 50-100 left over, it’s too bad they can’t post what number you are on the losers list.

There will be leftovers it's a matter of if your number comes up in time to make buying it worthwhile. The leftovers are supposed to be sold the same as last year so you may not get an option to buy until late Sept or Oct even. I'm in the same boat but already selected a rifle tag. Here's hoping to be a first runner up! :brew:

If I strike out on the modern permits which is very likely, I would love to be able to hunt early and then late if needed but as long as I could buy the multi before late archery I would be content

If I remember correctly didn’t there “system “ break right before the normal over the counter first come first serve drawing last year and that’s why they went to this stupid 2nd3rd 4th5th etc… draw style? Why this year ? System never got fixed .. I believe they still had deer tags that never got sold
-
The harvest reports show 8488 MS deer tags sold last year. So only 12 leftovers after the debacle. Not as bad as I was thinking it was.

Why this year ? System never got fixed .. I believe they still had deer tags that never got sold
This will be the 3rd year. Covid started it.

Last year, I had 2 notices that my # came up for leftover elk multiseason. I already had my other hunts scheduled by the time I got that first notice, so I didn't pick it up. I'm surprised I was notified the first time...the second time, I thought it was strange.

When are you able to purchase the permit when drawn?
purchased mine last week.
Where did you find it in your wdfw account?
It was under my licenses to purchase, I also didn't pick up my deer elk tags so I was able to purchase my multi on line.
My account doesn’t even have that option. It won’t give me or my budy the option to select our weapons of choice for deer or elk or buy the multi tags we drew.
Yeah, thats my issue also. I'll let you know what they say if the dept. replies.
It should be an option. At the top there is a drop down menu, that says "Category." Click on that, go under "Hunting" and select "Tags." Then you should see all the tags available for purchase.
Found it thanks. I don’t recall have to do that before.. any who..

I’ve never bothered to apply until last year. First year putting in for multi season, I drew a tag, and then forgot about the July 31st deadline :bash: :bash: Put in for it again this year, got selected again…2 for 2 baby. This year I won’t forget the deadline.

I wish the deadline was end of May , get things done and organized early

The regs say that they will make a decision on how they allocate the leftover tags mid August. So it looks like they’re going to have the same moronic system they had last year. I can’t believe they could be that dumb. Then again nothing this state does surprises me anymore.
