What is the difference between an A Tag and a B Tag for elk?
Answer:
Most elk management zones offer a choice of either an A tag or a B tag. The A and B tags have different season dates and may differ in the opportunity to use different weapon types or the type of elk that may be harvested. Although not the case in all zones that offer A tags and B tags, in most cases A tags offer a preferred opportunity for Archery and/or Muzzleloader hunters and B tags are more preferrable to rifle hunters. There are a wide variety of options available and opportunties do vary greatly among zones, so please review the regulations for the zones you are interested in. If you have any questions, please call your local fish and game office. We will be happy to help you find the tag that best suits the type of opportunity you are looking for.
