News # 13795
Nonresident deer tags returned by hunters after Aug. 1 are also available as second tags.
Information about how many elk and deer tags, and which types, will be listed on the returned tag webpage at 10 a.m. MDT on Aug. 11.
Idaho Fish and Game has revised its method for selling returned over-the-counter tags, which are now sold on the second and fourth Thursday of each month through the hunting season. A list of which tags will be available – if any – will be listed on the preceding Tuesday at 10 a.m. MDT.
Resident hunters are reminded there are no limits on resident deer and elk tags in general hunts, except capped elk zones, so resident deer and elk tags for all other general hunts will be available through the respective deer and elk seasons.

Most nonresident elk tags sold out earlier this summer, but some elk tags were set aside for outfitters. Under Fish and Game rules, the nonresident elk tags allocated to outfitters must be purchased by Aug. 1 or they revert back to over-the-counter tags for nonresident hunters, or as second tags to resident (and nonresident) hunters.
