Title: Purchasing Multi Season Permit?
Post by: grundy53 on April 17, 2011, 05:29:13 PM: So I keep hearing of people purchasing their permit but when go to buy it online it isn't one of my options. Anyone else having this problem? And yes it said I was drawn for deer.

Are you looking at 2011 licenses? Sometimes you have to select the year- I'm not sure but it might still be defaulting to 2010. :dunno:

Did you already purchase your deer tag and get it sent to you? If so, you have to turn it back in before they'll sell you your permit.

That would be it. I bought my deer tag jan 3rd. They must have changed it. Before they just sent me a letter after I got the multi season tag and asked me to send back my regular tag. oh well guess I will send it in tomorrow. tleast I don't have to worry about it being first come first serve. Thanks Alan.
