Q. What is the multiple-season hunting permit?
A. The multiple-season hunting permit allows a hunter to hunt with all three weapon types, archery, muzzleloader, and modern-firearm during the general hunting seasons for deer and/or elk.
Q: What are the rules for multiple-season permit holders?
A: Multiple season permit holders must abide by all general season rules for the hunt in progress. The permit holder must also follow all the general season rules for archery during the general archery seasons, muzzleloader during the general muzzleloader seasons, and modern firearm during the modern firearm general seasons.

You can hunt both seasons using the equipment (and during the dates) for which the permit is valid. You can only harvest a total of one elk so if you tag a bull you're done hunting. If you don't tag a bull you can take up your muzzy and go shoot a cow.
Three seasons - archery, too.

You're right but he has an archery bull tag and a muzzy cow tag. If he can't fill either of those permit tags before the modern firearm season maybe he should stay home and watch football??? Just kidding. Shoot a big bull with the archery tag so you don't have to worry about the cow tag or the sea of orange you will face in the modern season. Good luck. :hello::tup: :yeah:

Basically, you can hunt all seasons(rifle, muzzy, and archery) but you can harvest only one elk (either a bull or a cow) and then you are done with your elk tag.Clarification: You can only hunt the bull during the archery bull PERMIT season dates and the cow during the muzzy cow PERMIT season and if you don't shoot an elk during those seasons you can go hunt the general rifle season. The multi season tag does not allow you to hunt whatever weapon you want during a specific permit season for other weapons.
Happy hunting :)

Sweet. You lucky s.o.b. ...... :)
Going into the season knowing I just burned up my points for two categories and have to eat at least one tag is anything but lucky to me. :twocents: Good luck on whichever you choose though.

Now, if he fills his tag on the archery permit, then I guess that would be unlucky that he blew his points on a cow permit.

good luck

Can you turn one of the tags down and keep your points? :dunno:
Negative.
Not in Washington.

I drew the multi-season elk tag this year so i put in for multiple tags for all seasons, i was lucky enough to draw a archery bull tag and a muzzy cow tag. never had this prob before i am an avid bow hunter so if i have to choose its and easy one but i am not sure if i have to pick one???? help!
I know a lot of people who would love to have a dilemma like yours. I am happy for your difficult situation and have total faith that you can shoot your way into something that will fill your heart and your freezer. :)

I guess I have to say "Thank You!" Now that you've used up all your points I just might have a chance in 2012 :IBCOOL:
Have a GREAT time. I'm excited for you!
