I hunted an archery-only elk hunt in September and had no luck at all. Since I didn't harvest my elk can I exchange my tag for another zone?

Answer: 
No. Once the season for which your elk tag is valid has opened, your tag can no longer be exchanged. But you are allowed to buy a left-over nonresident tag for a different zone.
