Nonresident General elk and deer tags have gone to a new system to purchase tags in December of the prior year of the hunt. Is Fish & Game considering any changes to this process? An example of a good change would be to allow Nonresidents the ability to purchase these tags as a group since most Nonresidents hunt with other Nonresidents.
Answer:
Nonresident licenses and general season, over-the-counter tags, have been available to purchase beginning December 1 for last two decades. The Department did implement a few changes to how we sell those items beginning in 2021, based on the changes to nonresident tag limits and our options within the department electronic licensing system. We understand these changes have made it difficult to obtain the same tag for multiple hunters in a group, and our licensing office is working to determine how we may be able to offer this in future sales.
