Multi season deer

[Gobble Doc]

For the first time since its been offered i did not get selected - I always buy and use the tag so I'll be in line for a leftover but I'll have to decide which tag to buy for the permit applications.

Me too

Haven’t you killed some world class amazing whitetails in your home state? Is it better or cooler to spend $500+ and go out of state to kill giant whitetails? Personally I’d rather spend $150 and stay close to home.
Seeing people crap in other people’s Cheerios for no reason ...

Me and wife both drew deer w 1pt, dunno if we will both buy

[huntnnw]

its a joke that as residents we have to pay this fee that many other states its included in the tag they buy. Doesnt matter what I have killed here and Ill gladly go outta state to hunt. Grass is far greener these days on the other side. Deer in this state might be at all time low or at least what I have witnessed and have seen happen in many areas of NE WA is sad deal. Dont get me started on the spring bear BS permit hunt in WA and the BS second deer tags that cost residents what is it near $70 unbelievable ! what is it to shoot a Turkey in WA as a resident? over $50?   

Also would never pay outta state NR fees to hunt whitetails

I have gotten it mainly because of farm responsibilities, work and being able to get time off when I want to hunt.  It gave me 4 months to hunt however and whenever I wanted. If the weather is crappy(blue bird), you are targeting a really cagey critter or other things come up you can just pass, take your time and still have tons of season left.

What MANY other states are you talking about? Quite a few are not and those are the ones that manage for quality not quantity and don't get in the predicament Washington is in.

very few western states are a pick your weapon state. Allot are you buy a general deer/elk tag and you can hunt areas that are open to hunting with that legal weapon. ID,MT, WY to name a few

My girlfriend drew deer on her first year applying. No elk for me though.

Colorado, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oregon make you pick a weapon. How many other western states are there other than the three you mentioned that don't make you pick? Also, Wyoming doesn't let you hunt archery and rifle (elk) in every unit. Some you have to choose.

Lots of reasons for folks to buy or not buy the MS permits. Between work and family and kids extra curricular activities that I will be as present as possible at, the MS permits give me a few extra weekends where I can hunt. At the price of literally $10-15 a day, it’s ridiculously cheap entertainment. That’s my justification. We all have different reasons. I spent $100 yesterday on a family dinner out. We all know where that ends up 24 hours later.

I'll gladly pick a weapon for an AZ or NM tag,  I'm not sure those are fair comparisons.  I think if you lined up all of those states and asked the knowledgeable elk hunting community to rate them best to worst, we know where WA would be on that list, even if you had the multi tag.  The stinger is the multi tag costs resident hunters more than any other non special permit resident tag in any of those states.

I'm glad guys find value in it and wish them the best.  Comparing it to other states doesn't hold much worth in my mind.  Buy it and hunt it if that's the best choice in your situation.

Me and my buddy both drew.  Will have to wait until the Wyoming draw results come out to see if I will actually buy it.  The Washington state muzzle season is the exact time of the Wyoming rifle season.  Its a good back up option if we don't draw out in Wyoming.

Comparing Washington and it's deer and elk herds to other states doesn't make sense. How can we constantly complain about how low our deer and elk numbers are and then complain we don't have enough opportunity to go kill them?
