This is bs the way they run there draws. What happened to just being happy with the cost of the tag if the hunter chose to buy it wtf . So If I ever draw one of these quality bs drawings I have to pay extra for the hunt wtf??? I can't just buy my deer tag and go to the special permit area on the days it says ??? I have to pay 60 dollars more to hunt the permit hunt plus the cost I normal liscenes what's the elk special permit cost 600??? WTF !!!!!Elk and deer you don't pay unless its a second tag

This 2nd tag BS came out last year. Didnt participate in that charade and wont.
It's been longer than that because I've drawn a 2nd deer tag two years in a row now. It's mostly a damage control program for areas with high deer concentrations and crop damages and possibly low buck/doe ratios. I think all the second tags are for does.
I for one appreciate being able to get the extra venison in my freezer.

I'd say it's good to have the option if you don't score during general or if you can afford it (IMO). I don't think I'll apply for it this year but encourage it if it's right for you. Good luck!

Man I messed that up ...thinking to fast ...I meant give us 2 tags and do not plant the freakin wolves ....it that better :chuckle: If they want to take out a few more elk and deer then they should be giving us the extra tags not the damn wolves !!

Well I gues I can look at all this outrageous increase one only one positive which is also a negitive, all these raised rates are going to push more people to poach, and if I can catch them I get more points.... ? :dunno: :bash:
How is it going to push people to poach? If someone wants to hunt deer they can still do so for about $45. If you can afford gas to drive to your hunting area, you should be able to afford $45 for a tag. If people don't have the money they don't have to apply for any special hunts. If you just want to hunt, you can buy a small game license and hunt grouse and coyotes. That's about, what, $38?
The people that are going to poach are the ones who would poach anyway, regardless of the price of a deer tag.

I actually drew a second deer tag (Vashon Island) close to 15 years ago, just because I knew a landowner that HATED having deer on her property, they issued more of those tags than there were applicants.This 2nd tag BS came out last year. Didnt participate in that charade and wont.
It's been longer than that because I've drawn a 2nd deer tag two years in a row now. It's mostly a damage control program for areas with high deer concentrations and crop damages and possibly low buck/doe ratios. I think all the second tags are for does.

Easy hunting if you have permission to hunt private property and the deer are pretty healthy. These arent the smaller Island deer that you get up North.
Post by: DIYARCHERYJUNKIE on April 25, 2012, 08:47:49 AM
I'm thinking of the 2nd deer tags as "youth tags" now, because for kids the price is still only $22.

Great info ! I didnt know. My son will like that next year will be his first he'll turn 8 a few days before the season opens I figure it's a perfect time for him and we will be getting him a second deer tag for 22 bucks that's a deal and it will keep him interested to be successful.

So if second deer tags are "management" tags, we are essentially paying 68 bucks plus application fees to do the states dirty work :dunno:
Yep stupid. $68.00 for doe meat??? $$$ seems to be more important than science based management. I am not going to waste my $$.

100 pounds of meat from a doe? Maybe with the bones in. :chuckle: Most of these so called second deer tags are filled with yearling does that don't have enough meat on them to make it worth while. What a waste of an animal.
Like I said, shut up or pay up. If you want to b*tch above the quality of the hunt, then dont apply.....really its that simple.
I will be hunting one of the mule deer units in Eastern WA. My wife shot a doe in that unit last year and we got 103 lbs of meat. I think you are referring to the "doggy" deer of the islands in the North Puget Sound area, which I will not be applying for.
