Deer and elk hunters who bought a multi-season permit application this year will have the chance to buy one of 2,369 remaining multi-season deer tags and 130 remaining multi-season elk tags as of Aug. 21.
The next sequential 130 hunters on the original, official elk multi-season draw list will have an opportunity to buy the remaining tags. The original multi-season draw is being used to prevent large gatherings at retail locations.
The 130 winners of the remaining elk tags will receive an email from the Washington state Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) letting them know they are eligible to buy a tag. WDFW encourages hunters to make sure they have a valid email address in their WILD account. Once notified, there is no deadline for those newly eligible individuals to buy their tag.
The 2,369 remaining deer tags will be available to purchase online at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/login or at authorized license dealers throughout the state. Hunters can search for authorized license dealers at wdfw.wa.gov/licenses/dealers . WDFW regional offices and the headquarters office in Olympia are also open for license sales.
