Multi Season dilema
« on: April 27, 2018, 10:29:10 AM »
Got drawn for MS, YAY. Now I'm wondering if I should put in points option for Quality hunt. Sure I can select a killer muzzy or rifle tag but then won't the MS be just a waste. I know what areas I want to put in for Q & would most likely be successful. But what if I go out on a archery hunt & tag out & now I lost all my points. What have you done?

I’m in the same boat. If I draw the quality hunt I want, I still will hunt. I will Only shoot an animal that would be compatible with the quality tag draw.

The benefit of the MS is that you can hunt all seasons and both sides of the mountain.  I would put in for muzzy and rifle permits.  If you shoot a masher during general archery you may burn points but you shot a masher.  If you don't put in for any permits and just do the MS and shoot one during archery you basically just burned your points on a MS and didn't really use it.  I would burn up every option you have and call it a win if you tag out during any of the seasons.  Maybe set your sights a little higher knowing you have more time and options than normal.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Odds of drawing Quality tags are extremely low: 1% or less in many instances. I wouldn't give up a year of applying simply because I had a MS permit. :twocents:

As stated a real advantage of a MS permit it that allows you to apply for all hunts: East and West, Modern/Muzzleloader/Archery.

Like Bob said, the advantage in the Special permits is you can pick a GMU and apply for multiple weapon types.

I drew multiseason and won’t be buying it before applying for permits. If I don’t draw a permit and think I may have extra time to hunt it I will buy it.

so I was wondering this as well, how does it work because you have to buy a tag to apply. so if you don't draw are you out the money for the tag you already bought?

If he bought the let's say archery tag before the multiseason drawing was run he is good to apply for archery tags.  If he doesn't draw what he wants he turns in his archery tag and purchases the multiseason tag.

Ok I was always under the impression if you apply for special permits you can’t switch after that. Have you guys done this in the past?

You can't switch choices after the draw.

I know you can’t switch general tags after the draw but I believe you can purchase the multiseason up till aug 1 if drawn regardless of permit apps. If not I definitely won’t be buying it.  :chuckle:

The truth is that anyone who is counting on drawing any QUALITY or BULL tag in this state does not have any idea what the draw odds are. It’s probably a good general rule that your odds are 1-2% total...therefore it’s hard to know when your scheduled to draw a tag because it’ll be once every 50-100 years.
So fellow WA elk hunters...it’s best to plan your year around not drawing a tag...because you won’t. Fact. Don’t call me a hater, I’m just trying to help. Have a nice day :hello:
It is hard to follow one great vision in a world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among these shadows men get lost.
