"Q. How does the multiple-season permit affect the deer and elk special permits?
A. If you draw a multiple season permit for deer or elk, then you may apply for all weapon types on your deer or elk special permit application (up to four hunt choices). You would also be able to apply for both eastern and western Washington for elk."
Does this mean if I DO NOT get drawn for an elk special permit but have the multi season then I can still hunt both east and west? I thought you had to buy your east or west tag for elk before you put in for special permits. :dunno: Im a little confused about this can anyone help me out please?

If you do not have a multi-season permit, you must apply only for permits that match your tag. If you have a multi-season permit, you can apply for any special permit (excluding senior, youth, Master Hunter, etc.)

Wow, I didn't realize that the multi season nullified a person having to declare east or west. Makes it that much better.I think that's as much of the appeal for the elk permits as being able to hunt any of the general seasons. You could apply for a Blue Mountains/Colockum/Yakima special permit, but still hunt Westside archery, as an example.

I had posted a question earlier about archery vs muzzy elk this year but if I draw the multi, I wouldn't have to worry about it. Could I realistically put in for quality archery, quality muzzy, quality rifle, bull archery... etc?

Nope. You still only get 2 choices. You just have more options to choose from.
I can live with that!

The multiseason tag is a valuable tool just be sure you are willing to pay the $180 for it if you draw. Its frustrating that so many people draw it and then are suprised they have to cough up the money!! nwhunter
:yeah: It's very aggravating.....
