My cousin from Montana is coming to Idaho for a week, and wants to go elk hunting. Is it too late for us to get elk tags?

Unfortunately for your cousin, nonresident general elk tags are sold out, but you, as a resident, can still buy a tag, depending on where you plan to hunt. General hunt tags are available in many parts of the state on an unlimited basis. There are some areas where quotas are in place, and in some of those areas the tags are sold out. There are still some Lolo B tags available, and there are also tags available in the Middle Fork. In addition, there are still a limited number of leftover controlled hunt tags available for cow and youth hunts. The leftover tags are available to residents and non-residents alike, so your cousin may still hunt elk if he would be satisfied with one of the limited leftover cow tags available. For more information on available elk tags, check the Fish and Game website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov.
