I borrowed (and shot a deer with) a muzzleloader the last time I drew, so if I actually have a chance I better just go buy my own. :rockin: :whoo:

Good - I haven't drawn in a couple of years and I would DEFINITELY purchase if I drew. Maybe it will give me a chance.was it a muzzle loader rut season :dunno: I think I would wait for the big mulies to start rutting and climb out into the open :drool:

On a positive note....
They upped the drawing in 2010 over 2009 and said it was first come first serve this year, and still didn't sell them out. I think a lot of people apply for it not realizing that it is $180 if they get drawn. I drew both deer and elk this year - both currently unfilled, but it is a great opportunity to spread your season out, expose yourself to new weapons, seasons, and times of the year that may require different hunting methods. I drew the multi-season deer last year and shot my first buck with the muzzleloader during the late season. I think this is great for the sport to expose hunters to different methods that they may not normally go out of their way for.
I understand why they would actually want to sell out the allocated tags, and support any additional revenue they could raise by selling allocated tags.

So why don't they just make deer/elk tags multi season across the board? Multi sean holders don't seem to buck up until they figure out their schedule. If drawn you don't have to buck up the $$ until you want to. :bash::bdid:
Then all the modern rifle crazies would get muzzle loaders and infiltrate my season.

Im one of the 45% that didnt buy my multi deer. the problem wasnt that they wanted the 180. it was that they wanted me to by my tag then return it to them. then buy another. so 225 for a deer tag is just a bit much to swallow. I dont like the idea of paying twice.If i could have just paid the 180 i would have it in my pocket. :twocents:
Where are you coming up with $225? The $180 isn't for a deer tag it is for the permit to hunt multi seasons. Did you know what it cost when you applied for it?

I'm guessing its for more $$$.... :dunno:
The revenue is ONLY what the multi-season tag is all about. Pay more dollars for more time in the field to hunt what are quickly becoming the king's deer.
