Post by: boneaddict on April 23, 2010, 06:15:35 AM: You guys are nuts. You have to realize that 80% of the population that drew probably doesn't even know they've drawn yet. LOL Hell we still have folks posting on here "The regs are online" :rolleyes:

Post by: winston2789 on April 23, 2010, 08:10:47 AM: I didn't wait up, I set my alarm for 11:50 pm lol, well worth it!!! I know Bone a little nuts huh, I even had to wake back up at 4 am. I slept real good knowing I had my multi tag though :IBCOOL: . Like MDGrand said "didn't want to leave anything to chance" even though I'm sure they will be on sale for another week.

Post by: buckhorn2 on April 23, 2010, 08:18:20 AM: I srayed up and could;nt seem to get the right information they keep asking what gmu I wanted to put in for. Anyway I asked for help and Michell and bucklucky came to the rescue and I was able to do it on the computer did;nt want to wait all year and something go wrong.
Title: Re: Anyone else wait up til Midnight. . . .
Post by: winston2789 on April 23, 2010, 10:05:11 AM: Buckhorn- Why was it asking the gmu?

Also, I bought the combo deer/elk tag and multi elk permit but it didn't ask what weapon for my deer tag, anyone else have that problem?
Title: Re: Anyone else wait up til Midnight. . . .
Post by: buckhorn2 on April 23, 2010, 10:13:34 AM: A lady called me around nine and gave me a number to call and when I got on they did;nt mention multi season tags only which gmu I wanted to put in for. I called 902-2464. finally got it done on the computer.

You don't have to pick which tag you want yet. You can decide that later. I purchased the deer, elk, bear, cougar combo a couple months ago, and I didn't choose which weapon for either deer or elk. I wanted to wait until the regulations came out before I made my decision.

Post by: Ridgerunner on April 23, 2010, 01:46:09 PM: I heard they are selling like hot cakes this year, you all are CRAZY! Just think between the multi-season tag($180) plus regular tag fee($18 I think) plus another $20 in application fees just for deer some folks will be paying 10 times to get their deer what average joe blow hunter pays. I think the state has figured out a good way to capitalize on those who love to hunt. :chuckle: :bash:

I've about had it with the money grab by the department, we are probably the state that is leading the way into the future, just wait till the other states figure out what WA has done then they will follow suite, so out of state hunts will get even more expensive. They just took a clue from UT who opened up all species to NR to apply, instead of limiting it to 2 adn then they just watched the $$$$$$$$$$$ roll in, kind of like what WA is doing...........

Post by: wsmnut on April 23, 2010, 02:22:08 PM: No question that it's a bunch of money, but these are the current rules and prices. Steep price of admission. For me, it's worth it. Another week in the hills hunting with my boy. That's priceless.
I can only hope that the money goes to the right use. And that the money grabbing instead of proper game management gets fixed.

Post by: boneaddict on April 23, 2010, 02:28:48 PM: If you can get more time with your boy in the woods, then its worth it. As for the money grabbing getting fixed.....dreamer!

Title: Re: Anyone else wait up til Midnight. . . .
Post by: Ridgerunner on April 23, 2010, 02:34:56 PM: I agree time with the kids is priceless, but I think a large amount of people that buy these multi-season tags are just so pumped at finally drawing something they willingly fork over the $$$$$ without realizing they probably won't get their moneys worth out of it.

Post by: boneaddict on April 23, 2010, 02:41:49 PM: Can't say I blame them. I'm glad I didn't draw it. Saved me a bunch of money.
Title: Re: Anyone else wait up til Midnight. . . .
Post by: Gobble on April 23, 2010, 02:47:21 PM: I'd pay every year if I could, hunting is my life and the more I get to go the better

Post by: haugenna on April 23, 2010, 04:22:31 PM: I bought my deer tag. I will get two more weeks in the woods, well worth it. Not to mention the scouting time if I can't get close enough with a smoke pole.
