Re-draw was a joke. I was notified around Sept. 20th that I had the option to buy the multi season. Missed the archery opener and already had an out of state trip planned on the muzzy opener. All re-draws should take place prior to Sept. 1st.
Multi season is a joke. You are notified in March that you drew! The deadline to purchase should be the deadline to put in for permits in may. That gives them time to actual sell the unsold permits and give others the time to plan some hunts if notified to buy. None of this crap of people being notified in middle of archery or into November! Ridiculous
I think a deadline to buy after the announcement of special hunts would be fine. My hunting plans changed after I put in for MS deer and I intended to not buy it. But then my old man drew a moose tag and I changed my mind again and bought it. The way this state works there is no real way to know the plan until sometime in June.

Lots of guys need to plan time off 6 months out or longer.
