Anyone know when they go on sale?
-
Usually close to Aug. 10th. WDFW usually sends out a release on the date.
-
:tup:
-
shhhhhhhh……. opps they go on sale October :chuckle:
-
I checked out some sporting goods stores and discovered none of them had experience with multi-season leftovers. Any sporting goods chains that routinely have applicants?

Where I live all of them. Last year there was 2 guys at the local store 3-4 hours before the draw.
With that said that was for Elk. Deer you can usually show up the next day and still get one.

Usually they have sent out an email by now..... it always something :bash:
-
There are about 100 elk tags left over, should take about 3 seconds to sell them. I won't be part of the game this year, good luck, be first in line and have someone at the counter that knows what they are doing.
-
I called Monday. They were not yet sure what the date would be. Likely sometime between 10 - 15 August.

That's what I heard...

I learned to not rely on WDFW to send out an email or make an announcement. Last year I did not get the email, and when I called asking about the date the tags were going on sale, it just happened to be the day they went on sale. So I missed the chance to attempt getting an multi-season elk tag. The WDFW employee that I spoke to apologized and said that he didn't the email either, "...and I work here."
-

When I called the WDFW to ask about this, the person I talked to said that they have yet to ever sell out of the multiseason deer tags (though they're getting closer to doing so every year).
-
Of coarse they are not going to sell out. Why would they when its cash in their hand and they are not the least bit concerned about game management. There could be zero animals and they would still sell tags.

No Kidding!
-
I just called this morning, he said they still don’t know.
-
Our WDFW is so awesome, day before they normally sell the tags and no one knows anything.
-
I asked yesterday and they said it would probably be another week before any thought of a date yet.
-
Why not a 2nd or 3rd slot like the raffles. Call and offer requiring an immediate purchase or on to next applicant. Seems simple enough for elk.
-
I like this idea for elk. :yeah: With a little twist- CALL THE HUNTERS THAT PUT IN FOR ELK TO GET DRAWN THAT HAVE MAX POINTS FIRST. :tup:
-
so luck on them going on sale this weekend?
-
Relax guys, theyre still trying to decide if theres enough elk left out there .......
-
Inside info, whitefoot’s jerky business is really doing good, so no more multi elk tags for you losers. Sorry to be the messenger guys.
-
In case you didn’t get the email

Thanks for the heads up. Apparently I’m not on their preferred email list because I have not gotten anything yet.
-
you think there is a WDFW branch in Tennessee I can go to? :chuckle:
Otherwise I will not be trying this year it looks like. :(
-
I also got that email, kinda surprised by the number of unpurchased elk tags.
-

look in your junk mail box, that’s where mine was.
-
Are these from people who drew, but didn't purchase? I put in for multi elk, but didn't get it.
-
I love how the email says elk tags are projected to sell out in 5 seconds. If you're not first in line, a leftover multiseason elk tag isn't happening due to the sheer number of retail outlets and internet connection speed differences. Given how few multiseason elk tags are leftover each year it sure would be nice if they just did a second draw. The current process is rather silly.

Just trying to get a deer multi!

Or make people pay up front!!! Bam no leftovers!!! Those that dont draw get a refund minus the app fee. Drives me nuts that there is a chance of not getting drawn yet every year there are leftovers because people dont realize the cost or dont buy it because they drew a special permit or whatever other reason. It takes opportunity away from those that do want it and want all the benefits that it gives during the special permit process. Rant over!!

At least you get to purchase the unwanted tags. Roughly 50% of spring bear permits dont even get used at all, and not like we can buy the spring bear permits from guys that dont want them. Honestly you can look up the stats online. About half of spring bear winners dont hunt on the permits a single day.
-
With over 2000 left over multiseason tags for deer available, shouldn't be a problem to purchase one.
Elk is a different story. Usually there are less than 100 tags available. This year, there are slightly more. Still will sell out in a matter of seconds.

I agree with the pay up front! I think they should go back to the pay up front on the OIL Permits as well, but that is for a different thread..
-
Why dont they just give the elk permits to next runner ups from original draw :dunno:
-

They would have to call hundreds of people, actually make contact, confirm whether they want them etc etc. Know how long that would take? It took them several days just to call the handful of raffle winners and ask them if they wanted the tags.
-

Then what after a percent of them fail to buy?
They should just call and ask randomly the hunters that have the highest points and offer them.I mean really they are the ones who have stood with this draw for years. :twocents:

I do not understand the concept of them being filled in 5 seconds. How can you even enter someone's name into a computer in under 5 seconds, let alone navigate menus, accept money, and all other stuff that goes into buying tags. Is a tag consider filled as soon as they hit a button? With that being said you wont have to compete with me, best of luck.
-
You won't be there trying if you don't have full intention of buying it. :dunno:
-
Can I buy a tag for my son who is 14 ? if he didnt apply ?

No, because he didn't apply...

Got my spot in line

I just got my deer, there was only 1 other guy there who missed the Elk and stuck around for his deer too.

Anyone get lucky with elk?

this is why you need someone at the counter who knows what they are doing. They need to get your info in before 10, get to the screen on Wdfw where the option is to pick the tag up and be ready to hit the button. Once they grab a tag it’s in the basket.

its a SS

It was me ! :IBCOOL:

Yes Sir! And rounded up with deer. 3 registers hit elk, was dicey but they made it happen.

I wish deer would just go over the counter with an 8,000 tag quata.
-
I assume there are still deer tags for another week, correct? They didn't sell out today did they?
-
Typically, they don't sell out.

Just raise the price of the tag by $6.25.

Picked up a MS deer tag today. The lady behind the counter said they were able to get 4 guys elk tags before they sold out.

My mistake, this year was $72,418.75 in application fees for MS deer. So... a $9.25 price increase would be appropriate? :dunno:

Just the tag swap for me.

Clerk at the store I went to said to keep my original tag as they can only take back something they made a mistake on so I have both now. I'll probably just mail my original back to WDFW :dunno:

After further research I cannot mail my tag in to wdfw so I will return to the store and show them that they are required to take it !!

I was at Outdoor Emporium in Seattle this AM. Four guys drew Elk immediately then they couldn’t get anyone else in. Deer tags a plenty.
I already drew multi Elk and now am happy to spend all fall chasing both.

I got the deer tag this morning. This is the first time I've never been selected in the draw and I was pleasantly surprised that the clerk knew the process and I was in and out in a couple minutes. I'm in the pay up front camp but I also understand why, under the current process, some folks will get selected and not purchase the tag if they get lucky in the out-of-state draws and have to prioritize their time.
-
I’m going to wait until closer to muzzleloader season and then decide if I’m going to buy one. I already have a archery tag.
-
Had a modern tag. Now my season goes from September 1 to the middle of December. Heading to NE corner for the opener.
-
Anyone know how many multi deer are left? Can’t find it on the website and the only info I got from the millcreek office is that “there are still some left” but couldn’t tell me how many...
-
My buddy went to sportsman’s to get his multi deer today and they are sold out.

Wow! I picked one up on Monday and the guy at the counter said he didn't think the deer tags would sell out for a couple weeks.

picked mine up today, but they had to call edge to cancel my other deer tag

I highly doubt deer is sold out.

FYI,
I was just at WDFW in Olympia and there were 674 multi season deer tags left.... Scratch that, 673... I got mine :)

Yep got it bought today

With this many multiseason deer tags left, I’m pretty surprised. There’s a good chance there still will be tags by the high buck opener which begs the question if multiseason deer should be de facto next season in select units.

Picked up my multi season deer today after being told on Saturday that they were all sold out... well the same teller said that they sold multiseason deer permits to everyone not just people who applied since August.
-
Is this the first year that they sold all multi deer tags?

I may have posted to soon not sure,I got to this post and replied with the question.Now i'm not sure but if they do sell out would it be the first time?I feel if they do sell out the state will raise the prices for multi deer tags.
-
So is there any haha ?
-
Yes,A friend went and got hers today.WELL AN IMAGINARY FRIEND ANYWAY,FB. :chuckle:

Unless I bought the next to last one on Monday, they are still available.

Tried to buy one two weeks ago and they said they were sold out. Sportsman’s

It would be totally fitting for WDFW to “whoops” and just sell as many as they can. More revenue for them and...what, it’s gonna screw the already screwed up deer numbers worse? They don’t care about anything but money!
-
I think one of the issues is tellers who do not know what they are doing. Multiseason tags have to be sold during WDFW business hours because WDFW needs a phone call from the teller to invalidate your original deer tag. So if you show up on a Saturday or Sunday the tag is not able to be issued because the WDFW office is not open. The teller will say... oh they are all sold out.
Happened to me a Costal. The teller said they were all sold out and she was selling them to people who did not purchase a multiseason applications... both thing were total BS.
:twocents:
-
I bought mine after hours at Fred Meyer and the checker didn't make a phone call.
Didn't ask for my previous tag either, so I don't think she knew what she was doing...
My experience is similar to others here. As much as I am critical of WDFW, most of my licences buying SNAFU's are the problems with the person running the cash register.
-
I had no idea it was so easy to get a multi season deer tag. This is My first year to have one and I will buy one every year I have a chance. The flexability to hunt when I can is incredible. I missed out on the entire first archery season due to a second house purchase turning into a remodel. hunting was in the back of My mind the entire time, I felt like I was missing out. Now that it's finished and I'm free to use My time to hunt I still feel like I have all season and haven't missed out on anything. Because I still have 3 months.
Woot Woot!!
-
Still some left, picked mine up yesterday afternoon (10/3). Not sure how some of them are processing, as the Multi Season wasn't an option to purchase on my Wild ID account. I told the dealer he had to call WDFW to cancel the tag I already had and then the multi season would show up to purchase. Phone call made, WDFW cancelled my original tag and the Multi Season was then available to purchase.
Not as hectic as two years ago when purchasing a left over multi season Elk tag. In the heat of the battle of pushing buttons and clicking links the computer issued me TWO multi season Elk tags. WDFW caught right on to that as they called me later that day and asked if I had two tags. Of course I "wasn't sure", but they asked for the license number on my tag, then informed me that if I did have another tag it was cancelled.
-
Wait What ? There are still Multi season Elk tags available? :drool:
Or are We just talking about recent Deer Multi season tags being purchased? :dunno:

Sorry for the confusion, just deer tags left. Elk sells out in a matter of seconds each year.
-
Has anyone bought a left over without having purchased the application earlier in the year? Id love to pick up a multiseason but didnt put in for it.
