Title: Still waiting on surplus multi season tags
Post by: tonymiller7 on August 13, 2024, 07:50:26 AM: I've tried to not complain this year but, I'm getting pissed. Almost 2 full weeks since the purchase by deadline and still no announcement on surplus tags. Absolutely zero consideration for the sportsmen and their need for advanced notice. Rant over. LoL

Post by: huntnnw on August 13, 2024, 10:16:27 PM: whats even more ridiculous is how long you have to purchase them. We are now 17 days away from archery season and the whole point of these permits is to use multiple weapons. Deadline to buy these should be the deadline of the application for permits in May. Put these on sale come june and results are released.

Post by: addicted1 on August 13, 2024, 10:35:07 PM: They could do better with this. The purchase deadline should be before the special hunts deadline. The fact that we have to wait so long to buy a leftover tag is crazy, I’d really like to know if I will be able to hunt in September.

Exactly, people can’t be that incompetent and keep their jobs unless like you said it is on purpose

Post by: treeclimber2852 on August 16, 2024, 12:35:03 PM: A friend called yesterday and was told by whoever was answering phones that they were not going to be selling leftovers this year. Take it for what its worth, but I wouldn't put it past WDFW to punt and avoid the perceived hassle.
Title: Re: Still waiting on surplus multi season tags
Post by: HillHound on August 16, 2024, 06:20:35 PM: It would really surprise me if they left all that money on the table. Hopefully that’s fake news you heard
Title: Re: Still waiting on surplus multi season tags
Post by: dreadi on August 16, 2024, 06:20:51 PM: I looked back through WDFW emails of years past to reference their announcement and release dates. There has been a consistent ~August 18th release date in the past, with the announcement email being sent a day or two prior. However, this year the 18th is on a Sunday. So I suspect announcement emails to be sent to us next week.

I wonder if they screwed up the multi season draw and have just recently discovered it and trying to find a way to cover it up.

Post by: tonymiller7 on August 20, 2024, 08:04:26 AM: 2 new news releases today, neither of which are about surplus MS tags! I don't think it's going to happen.

Post by: BNAElkhntr on August 20, 2024, 10:15:30 AM: My Geuss is since they F Upped so bad on the Draw they had to use up those tags to make good on the Hunters that Drew but didn't receive so no xtra Tags this year
Title: Re: Still waiting on surplus multi season tags
Post by: HillHound on August 20, 2024, 11:02:06 AM: I wish we could all band together and tell them to pound sand and not buy them when we have less than a week before the season and they finally make an announcement. If they lost out they might make it a priority to actually communicate to us in a timely manner like they would if they viewed us as valued customers, which is quite obvious they don’t
