It's going to depend on how many are left, they can either sell them over the counter or do a second chance draw. There won't be any notice until the date passes for 1st raffle winners to buy theirs.This is the first time I have ever heard of a second chance draw? Anyone else ever hear of this before?
Anyone interested don’t slack on buying asap for leftovers. Sold out fast last year.

I can't remember where I read it, possibly in the regulations, but I recall that this year it would be a second draw for the leftover multi season tags, rather than an open sale.
Edit: I just checked the regulations again and I couldn't confirm the redraw. The regs say the leftovers may be sold on a first come, first served basis.

They did it last year because of Covid. Wouldn't be surprised to see it again, since WDFW offices seem to be still closed to walk-in. Knocked my odds down of getting one, but seems a lot fairer way of doing it. I've purchased the MS deer already, but would love to have the MS elk.

You can if they are available. You have to bring in your deer tag and turn the old tag in.last year you had to turn your tag in to the game Dept either by computer or your phone before you get the multi season tag , they would not exchange at the counter

I went to my local tag getting store and waited in a short line. One older gentleman had been there since the store opened that morning. He said he just about get's his multi season elk tag every year doing it this way. When I'm retired I'm gonna be like that guy. Then go fishin.

Last year I walked into a convenience store bought the multi season tag and walked out with two deer tags in my pocket. So I don’t believe this is true. Although they are supposed to take your deer tag from you.

They might draw left over deer tags? Then what? They sell leftovers after those people don’t buy them?. They won’t do another drawing. All they care about now is that they sell them and they get their filthy money. That’s all they care about. All of the tags will be sold over the counter like in all the years past.
Post by: buckfvr on August 06, 2021, 10:57:33 AM
This would eliminate most of the problem as it weeds out those not serious about the permit. Draw, one and done. No second chances. The whole permit system needs to be streamlined. :twocents:

They did last year. Not a “second draw” they just offer the tags to the runner ups in the drawing. Your drawn in order from 1st to last.

Let's say you were number 16 but there were only 15 permits. This would mean you didn't draw a permit but you would be next in line.

A few years ago I stood in line for a chance at deer and everyone in front of me was waiting for elk. Only the first guy was able to get one. He had been there for at least an hour before the store opened.
Be careful about the store you pick if you are doing elk. If they are clueless about the process then you will have zero chance. They have to be there waiting with your info when the system goes online.
As someone already said it is only OTC if you applied but were not selected. Even if there are extras after the rush they won't sell them to you.

"2,600 surplus Multi-season deer tags available Aug. 18
Deer hunters who bought a Multi-season tag application earlier this year but were not selected in the April drawing will have their chance to buy one of 2,600 remaining Multi-season deer tags starting at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18.
Available on a first-come, first-served basis, the tags can be purchased online or at an authorized Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife license dealer. WDFW regional offices and headquarters in Olympia remain closed to in-person license sales.
Hunters who want to buy a deer Multi-season tag must have purchased a 2021 deer Multi-season special hunt application in order to buy a Multi-season tag.
If you already have your 2021 general season tag, you won’t need to call WDFW to cancel it, but under state law you will need to surrender it to the license dealer or mail it to WDFW headquarters before the opening of the hunting season.
When you purchase your Multi-season tag, you will be asked if you already have a general season tag, and if so, whether you are surrendering it to the dealer or mailing it to WDFW headquarters.
Multi-season deer tags are $139.10. Tag costs are the same for residents and non-residents.
There will not be a purchase deadline for deer Multi-season tags; they will remain on sale until the tag limit is reached. Hunters who purchase a Multi-season tag will not lose points in their Multi-season special hunt application categories.
Hunters with Multi-season tags can hunt all three weapon choices (modern firearm, muzzleloader, archery), season permitting, until their tag is filled.
What about elk?
The next sequential 128 hunters on the original official draw list of elk Multi-season tags will have an opportunity to buy those remaining tags. The existing official draw list from April is being used to prevent large group gatherings at retail locations during the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the opportunity fair.
Elk hunters can also login on the WILD licensing system after 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18, to see if they are eligible to buy an elk Multi-season tag. The 128 winners of the remaining elk Multi-season tags will receive an email from WDFW notifying them that they are eligible to buy a Multi-season elk tag."

Seems weird that 2600 folks would pay to be in the drawing. get drawn. and then not buy the permit. Am i missing something?
I only applied to have the option to buy it now. Usually I would buy it prior to spec apps to apply in different categories but my points are low due to drawing and it wasn't worth it then. Now I can expand my season after having not drawn anything.

I think there is reason for this, alot of the ones that backout of purhcasing the multi season have been drawn for a controlled hunt and the multi season is point less, also some people do it to just built up points for the right oppurtunity to use it. this may not account for 2600 but definately adds up

Apps are due early in the year for multi. If somebody draws a couple other tags (including out of state) that conflict with the extra Washington seasons...no point in paying $140+
As has already been mentioned, if I drew a quality tag then I would probably return the MS.

Is it in the "Special Hunts" section? The WDFW email just links to the site rather than where you actually buy it. Useless.

How many people applied originally for the 8500 tags? Trying to figure out how many people are going for these 2600 tags. Probably about 2600 people I assume?
Last year there were 15,113 apps, so assume the same for this year? That leaves 6,613 people trying to to get 2600 tags........

Keep at it. Good luck on getting through; it'll be worth the headache if one or both of you could pull a Mult Season tag :tup:

GP, wake sure you’re going to PURCHASE A LICENSE, TAG, OR PERMIT, then, scroll down to Hunting, it should be in there if you purchased/applied for the MS Deer but were not selected If you don’t see it immediately, try view all in Hunting.

Nope, it's not there. I've never had a problem buying a surplus tag before. Pretty bummed out but I did draw late palouse. Hopefully the rumors of blue tounge are just rumors

I was at the Puyallup Sportsmans and got there at 940AM. Was number 5 or so in line. I left at 1130 because they could never get access to the WDFW to purchase anything. So even the number 1 guy in line was still waiting when I left.
I was that guy in front of the line; well to the left of the counter. The lady was initially able to get the tag into the cart, but then it threw an "error" message. After a while longer, she was once again able to get to the screen to select the tag, but this time is said "A lifetime restriction prohibits the purchase of this product." At that time, the other lady was able to get through to a WDFW representative and brought my issue up. She was told that others are having the same issue and to keep "refreshing." Then the sight crashed, they went offline, rebooted and then she could not get into the tags at all.
I finally left and have been trying the last few hours. I finally got through to the page to buy a MS tag, but I was not able to select it because of the restriction message, so I emailed them to figure out WTF is going on. I also called, but am currently on an 80 minute wait. I do not know what the dang error message is about, but I have not seen anyone else posting on here about it. To the best of my knowledge, I have done everything legally in this state, so I do not understand why this message is on my account. I am still able to buy an elk tag, second bear tag and all my waterfowl tags... but not this MS tag. What a s*&# show this thing is.

I've refreshed and scrolled through the dang big game hunting category about 100 times and it has never once showed up for me. :(
As others around 3pm were able to buy theirs, I still didn't have the option. After login off & back on multi times there it was. Be sure you select All the options dropdown not just the buy again only. I use google chrome & usually don't get many Oh Deer! time outs. Good luck.

The department should be embarrassed that their vender can't produce a better mechanism to sell their product. I also feel that requiring payment when you apply would easily solve the issue of leftover tags.
Agreed, tried all day: couldn’t login, then couldn’t open license tab, then it wasn’t an option to buy, they wouldn’t answer their phones etc etc etc. Like in all things WDFW does they’re a joke again…

I'm hearing a lot of comments that the tag wasn't an option. The web site was different/new format. I saw a View All button, then the option to buy showed up. This was at 10:30
It 100% was not in there the first dozen times I checked. When it finally did pop up as available for me (which was about 3:00) it was in the same spot I had been checking all along

Gone are the days of buying an unspent MS tag with low hassle. I hear all of you on this. What ticks me the most is to think of the small fortune the department made by forcing a bunch of hunters to stress over this. It’s arguably about their budget, not “opportunity”.

Today was a joke. Total waste of time. The website was an absolute joke. All the license vendors were backed up hours for a couple people to hopefully but a tag. This is not a professional or appropriate way to sell licenses. Not to mention a total disrespect to people and their time. Think of all the upset people and wasted hours spent trying to purchase something that used to not be a big deal (on the deer side). I’ve about had it with Washington in just about every aspect.I agree. The licensing system really has gotten to the point that it's completely unacceptable and unprofessional. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, they should be embarrassed and the Director should be fired. There's zero reason it should ever crash like that, including checking draw results.

I wasted a better part of the day trying to get a tag. Tried online for a couple of hours. Gave up and went to a license vendor. Wasted another 30 minutes of my time and the clerks watching "Oh Deer" pop up several times. Tried again on the computer......nothing. Tried on my phone simultaneously. Nothing but spinning. How in the world did they sell 2600 tags during all of this? Thoroughly disgusted with this state. They'll probably use the proceeds to support the wolves or study how much cow farts affect the ozone layer. Pathetic.

Sad guys care about this tag. Literally looked on the site to see if guys made a thread about multi. A) back in the day it was free 2) you still have to hunt hard 3) you gave our state more $ 4) you will spend 1k on a muzzle loader and bow you will never use again. Dudes want a tag so bad on this site (because wa odds are > .03% that crap like this becomes a point of conversation.
The only reason I like the multi season tags is my work schedule dictates when and how much I'm able to hunt. I have and enjoy all three weapons so no big deal, but when I didn't have a ML I just used my bow which I prefer anyways.
Best of luck everyone.

They weren’t available at 10am for me like the email said. Finally about 10:20 I had it appear as an option, got it on the cart, went to check out and that was as far as I got, all day. I tried multiple browsers, phones, ect. It just sat in the cart with the circle of death, and usually the “Oh deer” crash, or some weird code error with a target and arrows at the bottom. Regardless of how many log ins or log outs I did, it was still in the cart, I just couldn’t check out.
Finally around 3pm I figured I would give it another try. I logged back in and it was no longer in my cart. I assume, Like after 4 hours of so, if you haven’t bought it, it automatically removed it from the cart. There was also none available at that time. So I figured I was out of luck.
Because I was enjoying hitting refresh every 3 minutes for the past 5 hours of the day, I figured I would try again, because what would I rather do with my life?
So I logged out and back in again and it gave me the option so I bought it ASAP. Probably around 3:20 or something. My guess is at about 3 to 3:30 the max time tags could be in a cart was expiring, so they were dumping them back into the system. So the people buying them then, were buying the ones someone else had in their cart earlier, but couldn’t purchase due to the crash. So they were just randomly appearing as available if it just came out of someone else’s cart. That’s why some people could find them and others couldn’t. It was just the luck of the timing
I could be totally wrong, I’m no tech expert. Just a guess.

Or some guys who burn all their PTO out of state and already have muzzleloaders and bows and rifles don't mind spending what equates to an extra tank of diesel or a nice dinner out to extend their season by an extra 2+ months. "Back in the day" a new car was 5 grand too, but I don't cry about about that when I'm looking at pickups now because it's irrelevant.

Perhaps this could be like calling to any other business where you dealing with customer service folks. You are placed into a que and as they complete the person ahead of you you move forward in que. But when everyone in the state is anxious to throw more money at a system. You just have to wait your turn!!! I'm guessing that "Both" folks can only process one at a time. With the reduced budgets they aren't going to bring extra people for this.

This guy is lost in his own opinion and doesn't have a good grasp on what people buy it for. As you said, it is only a tank of gas and it allows you to hunt from september to december... no brainier for me to get it.

You just have to wait your turn!!! I'm guessing that "Both" folks can only process one at a time. With the reduced budgets they aren't going to bring extra people for this.
:twocents: :twocents:
This is exact what Idaho did this year, and it worked great. You could see your number in line, no guessing as to what might be going on.

:yeah: Trying to get into the Idaho system when they released their leftover tags was way better than what happened yesterday. With the Idaho system at least you saw what your place in line was and could see your progress moving forward and know you were eventually going to get in instead of seeing the spinning hexagon and wondering if you should wait it out or log out and back in to try again.

No multi season tags for this guy. New house in MT closes next week and I'll spend the archery season moving over. I'll keep my Idaho deer tag and Montana Deer/Elk combo but will happily burn my WA general tags in the fireplace while sipping a fancy silver bullet knowing I'll never give Inslee another dollar to fund his climate change agendas. Good Luck this season everyone. :)
Congrats! I might not be too far behind ya! Good luck on the move :tup:

I called today around 100 and actually got through. The lady said the system was overloaded and they shut it down, If you sent an email or left a message you were put into a que and they will be calling in that order next week.
So, it’s still possible for you to get a tag? Sweet :tup:

We just received a call from Olympia and my cousin was able to buy the MS deer tag over the phone. He had ticket # 201725. The lady said that there is less than 500 tags left.
I was also assigned a ticket # after I called and complained about the debacle the day the MS tags were offered. I received a call about an hour ago and was able to purchase the MS deer tag.

Be curious to find out how many actually end up getting sold and if they stick to the quota. Wouldn't surprise me if they just sold extra to make some additional money for some pet project

With the first customer service person, I could tell she wanted more information so I talked about being at BiMart at 10 with only two people in front of me and then waiting almost three hours getting continually kicked out of the system. Then I talked about what happened on the computer after that. They said I qualified and it was done.

Got the tag. From what I gathered, they will hear you out about your experience and make a decision as to whether your story is worthy of selling you a tag. I talked with two customer service people, and then the guy who sold me the tag. He said the point was for the dept. to feel comfortable that you were ready and able to purchase on the 18th but that the system crash caused you to lose the tag.

Sounds like a fair and diplomatic system for tag allocation. A panel of wdfw employees deems whether your story is up to par or not and makes the decision on the spot. Jeesh... :bash:

If you get a no I recommend calling and trying with a different representative.
I wish I would have done that last year :dunno:
Good luck to all of you trying.

Seriously. I was about to tell her to call the young manager at BiMart to confirm. What's really odd is that they put out a bulletin saying they were sold out when in fact they were not.

Havnt seen mine yet. Bought it online about 10:30. Hopefully we see them before next Wednesday
The guy I talked to said if it's not in your mailbox by the opener you can buy a replacement tag at a dealer.

Yep I think he quoted me at $7 but I probably won't make opening day anyway.
