Multi season deer
« on: March 27, 2019, 03:16:11 PM »
I put in for deer and elk multi season for the first time. How hard hard is it to draw for deer?
How hard is it to draw for Elk?
Just was wondering people's personal experiences with drawing odds or luck. Thanks for the feedback and good luck if your also applying.

Deer odds are pretty good and if you don't draw there are normally leftover tags in August that you can buy.

I would say 75-80% chance you will draw deer and 99% chance you can buy it in August.


Elk is way lower odds.  Guys are not drawing with 6-7 points.

There are leftover tags for that in August but they sell to the first guy in line if you are lucky.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

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

There were 11,589 applicants for 8,500 deer permits but they still opened it up after the draw for people who didn’t draw?

A large amount of people who draw it don't end up actually purchasing it.

This is the first year I'm not putting in for either.  Reallocating the resources.

I don't put in for deer, but I've been putting in for elk since the inception and never drawn a MS tag. My wife drew for the first time last year with around 10 points.

I usually draw the MS deer. I drew the MS elk last year for the first time with 6 points. Good luck everyone!

Perhaps you need to ask yourself this. Is it really worth it for YOU. If you want the added time in the field for the price then that answers your question.

Deer odds are pretty good but I'm going into this draw with three points and never opted for the points option. That's right, I'm pretty much the best at not drawing lol

I've had the tag in my pocket most septembers though from.buying leftovers.

Ive drawn deer every time Ive applied but only bought it once..I use the MS as a fall back if I don't get any other special permits. If I get a deer or elk permit I'm all in for that permit so it leaves very little time to use the MS.

I apply for deer every year but usually don’t buy it. I apply for Wyoming deer each year and have roughly a 75% draw odds. Wyoming season is at the same time Washington muzzle season. I put in for the multi season just Incase I don’t draw Wyoming as a back up muzzle loader hunt. It’s a cheap $6.50 back up option for me. I don’t have to purchase the actual expensive tag until after the Wyoming results have been posted. So you can see there are a lot of left over tags with those who draw but decide not to purchase.
