If I buy a non-residency elk tag in Idaho, I know I can take a black bear / deer or mountain lion instead of an elk, but if I kill a black bear / deer or mountain lion will I then need to go and buy another elk tag? Or will I still be able to harvest an elk?
Answer:
The elk tag can only be used to harvest an elk, bear, lion or wolf as long as there is a season for elk and the species harvested such as bear. An elk tag cannot be used to harvest a deer. In addition, once the tag has been used to harvest an animal it cannot be used again.
You can purchase a second general season elk tag to continue to hunt for elk.
