Residency

I have lived in Idaho for longer than 6 months but prior to moving here I bought a non-resident elk hunt from an outfitter apparently they bought a license for me as well and I was wondering if there's any way to cancel that and still pay the the non-resident elk tag the transfer but transfer my license to a resident one?
Answer: 
For this year, we recommend you keep your current license and elk tag. Those who have met the residency requirements after purchasing a nonresident license may purchase resident tags for the species they have not purchased. This type of a purchase can only be made at IDFG offices. For example, if you have not purchased a deer tag, you may purchase a resident deer tag at an IDFG office. You will need to provide proof of residency when purchasing the resident tag(s). Please contact our office at 208-334-3700 if you have additional questions.
