Q. If I don't pick up my controlled hunt tag by August 20, am I just out of luck for the year? A. Under the old procedure, you would have been waving from the front step as your buddies left for the hills this fall. You had to take the controlled hunt tag or nothing; you could not purchase a general hunt tag instead. Not so now. The new procedure requires that you buy your controlled hunt tag by August 20. If you don't, it will be sold as a leftover. But now you can buy a general hunt tag if you do not have a controlled hunt tag.
